Did you know I grew up on a farm?
Every morning up before the dawn
“Good morning sunshine”
I heard my father call in the dark
Every day I’m up before the dawn
Even though the cornfields are long gone
"Good morning, sunshine”
That’s what my sweetheart says as he yawns
Awkward boy to awkward man
There I was and here I am
We’ve got more in common than you think
Did you know I’ve got a couple scars?
From that time I cleared the handlebars
I had turned around to see how far
I had traveled from my father’s arms
We’ve got more in common than you think
Didn’t know you grew up on a farm
We’ve got more in common than you think
Every morning up before the dawn
We’ve got more in common than you think
Didn’t know you had a couple scars
We’ve got more in common than you think
From that time you cleared the handlebars
We’ve got more in common than you think
