Em
   I’ll make my papa proud
One day I will somehow
C         G
  Mother says I’m strong
C         G
  I’m the oldest one
Em
  Papa’s tough as nails

He works the farm every day and
C         G
 One day I will too
C               G
 But first I’ll finish school

[Chorus]
Am                C
  Oeh, oeh, oeh, oeh,
                      G
The fields don’t even notice, the 
trees don’t seem to care
Am                C
  Oeh, oeh, oeh, oeh,
                 G
The pages of my story, written in 
the dirt
C                       Em x2

  Papa told me true

  Met this girl at school
Her friends are really cool, she’s
