Got my GPS locked on a glowing screen

Cutting through the fields in a monster machine

Dad says the land's a debt we might never pay

It's a heavy price, but we're here to stay

Yeah, we're praying for the rain

then we're praying it'll quit

Just another season, gonna make the best of it

Diesel and dirt yeah, diesel and dirt

A hundred miles of horizon and a sweat-stained shirt

From the grain bin skyline to the midnight oil

We're just trying to make it all work

With just diesel and dirt

Credit is tapped, and the well's running dry

While the price of the fuel climbs up to the sky

The margins are zero, trying to make ends meet

Selling the crop just to stay on your feet

My back's feeling heavy and I'm ready to stop

I see my old man giving me the "thumbs up"

Oh, diesel and dirt yeah, diesel and dirt

A hundred miles of horizon and a sweat-stained shirt

From the grain bin skyline to the midnight oil

We're just trying to make it all work

With just diesel and dirt

Oh, yeah

Another day down, another story to hold

Sun's dipping low, turning the wheat into gold

Here in the Northland Prairies, all ya do is work

Planting next season

With diesel and dirt

Just keep it in the row 'til the stars come out

Diesel and dirt

That's what it's all about

Diesel and dirt

Oh, diesel and dirt

Diesel and dirt
