Biography:
Rodney Atkins, born March 28, 1969 in Knoxville, Tennessee, is an American country singer. He was an adopted child. As an infant at the Holston Methodist Home for Children in Greeneville, Tennessee, he was so sick that two couples who had taken him home returned him just a few days later. A third couple from Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, adopted him as well and, even though his ailments worsened, refused to give him up. His adoptive mother had been raised in a coal mining family near a tannery camp

[Verse]
F
I woke up the same way this morning
C
Like a stranger in my own life
Dm C
Tired and confused with too much to do
Bb F
Nothing left for my kids and my wife
Bb F
Oh I clung to that first cup of coffee
Bb
Praying god, won't you show me what's real
F
Then out in the distance I saw through the window
Bb F C F
A man on a tractor with a dog in a field
[Verse]
F
The dog walked just like it was smiling
Bb F
The man drove like the world was all right
Dm C
The tractor hummed on like a part of a song
Bb F
That you sing to your children at night
Bb F
His work was laid out there before him
Bb F
In rows of green, his whole life was revealed
Bb F
Oh what I wouldn't give if I could just live
Bb F C F
Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field
[Chorus]
F C Bb F
Let me do what I'm doing, let me be where I am
Dm Bb F
Let me find peace of mind on my own piece of land
C Bb
When I'm lost, help me to let go and find someway to feel
F Bb C F
Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field
[Instrumental]
F-Dm-Bb-F-Dm-Bb-C
[Verse]
F
There I was watching and wondering
My wife came down and sat beside me
Dm C
She said. it's not about living another man's life
F C F
It's about seeing your own differently
Bb F
Oh this home that I love and my children
What more could one man hope to yield
Bb F
She touched my face and said, there's more than one way
Bb C F
To be a man on a tractor with a dog in a field
[Chorus]
F C Bb F
Let me do what I'm doing, let me be where I am
Dm Bb F
Let me find peace of mind on my own piece of land
C Bb
When I'm lost, help me to let go and find someway to feel
