12 Country Songs About Farming

You can't help but clap along to John Denver's folk hit about life in the country. Though the song was originally released on his 1974 album Back Home Again, it didn't become a chart topper until the following year after a recording of a live performance at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles was released as a single. It hit number 1 on both the Billboard Hot Country Singles and Hot 100 charts.

Farm-friendly lyrics: "Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm/A raisin' me a family and workin' on the farm/My days are all filled with an easy country charm/Thank God I'm a country boy."

Alabama's 1989 hit speaks to the simple comforts of childhood, despite hardships, while growing up on a farm. In the music video, the members of the band drive past scenes from rural America, from kids boarding the county bus for school to farmers plowing their fields.

Farm-friendly lyrics: "We were walkin' in high cotton/Old times there are not forgotten/Those fertile fields are never far away."
