Story Behind The Song
Romantic fun, a boy-meets-girl near-seduction on a lonely Country road. Done in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
Song Description
Cool, seductive tremolo guitar and pedal steel set the tone for a romantic encounter on a hot summer day. Somewhat comedic lyrics, this is acoustic fun that's sexy but light. "How many chance to meet the farmer's daughter?"

Lyrics
Hey, farmer's daughter - can I talk to you a while?
Won't you come along with me in my second Country mile?
I gotta get to Town by 5 O'clock, or Daddy's gonna tan my hide!
What's that you say, "Take off your coat and step inside?"
Don't you know I would but Daddy's gonna be so angry.
Then again, he always is. And it ain't every day I get a
chance to say I made love to the farmer's daughter!
The farmer must have been away....
The more I think about it, the more I hate to leave.
'Cause how many chances does a young man get
to come in off of the street, out of the burnin' heat?
How many chance to meet the farmer's daughter?
I can see the sunlight in the radiance of your smile.
It takes my breath away and makes me a helpless child.
Everything about you warns me that I really shouldn't stay.
'Cause if I do I'll want to stay with you all day.
Don't you know I would but Daddy's gonna be so angry.
Then again, he always is. And it ain't every day I get a
chance to say I made love to the farmer's daughter!
The farmer must have been away....
