Lyrics

Broken down across the tracks it's 20 after 4
And in 15 years this old John Deere never stalled like this before

I won't panic and I won't worry cause there's lots of time
I've got 40 minutes before the train comes down the railroad line, railroad line

Engine flooded, out of gas or is it spark plug blues?
Either way I'm gonna need a hand to get this old thing to move
I won't panic and I won't worry cause there's lots of time
I've got 30 minutes before the train comes down the railroad line, railroad line

Called my brother I called my father and no one's home to help
That's okay I was born this way and I'll figure this thing out

I won't panic and I won't worry cause there's lots of time
I've got 20 minutes before the train comes down the railroad line, railroad line

Life has been hard on this old farm and this machine I need
And if it won't drive how can I provide for my wife and family

I won't panic and I won't worry cause there's lots of time
I've got 10 minutes before the train comes down the railroad line, railroad line

I can see the lights through the prairie night and I can feel it through the rail
Well she's at full steam and don't see me while I push and puff and fail

I won't panic and I won't worry there's lots of time
I got 5 minutes before the train comes down the railroad line, railroad line

Why right here and why right now? There's 300 acres for me to plow
There's been flood and there's been drought just me and John Deere been toughin it out

But I won't panic and I won't worry there's lots of time
I've got 1 minute before the train comes down the railroad line, railroad line

I won't panic and I won't worry although we're out of time
So I jumped from the track as the train went past on down the railroad line, railroad line
