Granger Smith - Tractor Lyrics
Before the sun came up
He sipped that coffee black
Slid on his muddy boots
Pulled down his feed store cap
He taught me how to grease the points
But I was way too busy
Didn't really care to go
So he worked the fields alone
But what I didn't know
[Chorus:]
Up on that tractor
Things might be faster in the world
But big wheels rollin' slow
Help you see what's important
Up on that tractor
Just like the dirt is black
So do the years fly by
He stayed at home with mom
I travelled far and wide
And like a good man does
He listened when I called
I told him bout my crazy life
And all the things I saw
But when it was time to go
He wanted me to know
[Chorus]
It tore my world apart
When God took him away
I didn't get to say goodbye
And I miss him everyday
When all the fields grew up
This is right back where I cam
[Chorus]
Up on that tractor
Up on Dad's tractor

Do u and earl dribbles jr share the same channel
for me its grand dads tractor 3:00
Granger Smith loss his son River. He died of drowning.
I am so thankful that my dad and grandfather kept their tractors. I enjoy rebuilding them with my dad now. My grandfather is now looking down on us with a big smile on his face as he watches us plow, plant, and harvest the fields.
Thank you for a wonderful song Granger, makes me think of my grandfather.
This song reminds me of my grandpa he taught me how to drive his old masy 240 also and he just passed away last month I was just on the masy listening to this song and started getting emotional about it thinking about everything he taught me about life
Listen to this song Almost made me cry I know I'm not farmer but it really hurt my feelings a little bit
One of my favorite songs by Granger Smith 👍🦌🚜🚜🚜

RIP River 2016-2019
Now you lost your son. God bless you man. Stay strong. I can only imagine what country song you'll write from your sons death.
God bless you Granger Smith , so sorry about your loss
I miss my dad too. He died when when i was 22. I dont have a family of my own but my brother does that he never seen. I have grown up alot myself but it helped make me grow up. Life makes us who we are today. Take away something so tragic or otherwise who will we be? But it has to really hurt to lose your child who has yet to really live life. RIP Riv. Now you can watch out for your dad. My prayers smith family
River is with Dad now. God bless you, your wife, and your whole family. Prayers....
Daniel Howie, Sr. Damn bro that’s deep but true
Amazing❤
😭Big Granger
Love your music
I remember my dad teaching me how to drive an old ford tractor
Coming from the smiths channel!
Granger, this is an amazing song. Definitely touches your heart and is a tear jerker. Hadn't really heard it before but it is great. I think a lot of people don't take the time to see their parents and lose that special time they'll never get back.
i gust lost my mom
I lost my dad 5 year ago in Australia we we're always carting wood out of the bush and on tractors know its just me up on that tractor and worse thing was I didn't get to say goodbye
I mean he is one of the best like how is granger smith not big yet cause they dont even play him on the radio which makes me mad like no other.
Great song it gave me memories of me and my grandfather working on the farm he taught me a lot
i know that this was posted a long time ago and im only 13, but this song brought tears to my eyes because even though it isnt my song and i didnt write or sing it or make the music video ut this song is very important to me and my grandpa
Thank You for this wonderful song.. Miss My Grandpa.. <3
YEE YEE
I hope your dad is in a better place and love you and him
I haven't listened to country music since the 90's but Granger, Chris Janson and Margo Price give me hope for the future of country music

Who cut these dang onions
You are my favorite music artist so sorry for your grandpa
I love this song
Beautiful tribute to Dad Granger. A real man who taught you so much. The complete circle in your video is touching and I'm sure it was pretty hard jumping up on that tractor the first time. But bet Dad wanted you to ride it as much as you can. It ain't never easy, but Dad and the Good Lord up above know and know how much you appreciated him. So many great memories. God Bless you and yours Granger. Yee Yee!
THIS VIDEO IS SO DUMB
Great Music. DemolitionRanch brought me here. #YeeYee #demolitia #reddirtmusic #texascountrymusic
We buried my Grandpa 12/22/18. I had just found out about his death and this song was on my Facebook. Needless to say this described my Grandpa and me and my uncle Rodger had tears rolling. This was the perfect song.
@Brandon Bond enjoy life with these old timers. Hope you have the same bond with your grandpa as I did with mine. He was a 2nd dad to me.
Reminds me off my pawpaw
This is such a good song! This made me cry.
This song makes me cry cause my dad passed away 6 years and i never got to say goodbye and that one part of this songs makes me upset
How did he pass I’ve been curious cause the lyrics says it tore my whole world apart when god took him away AND I NEVER GOT TO SAY GOODBYE
This brings memories of me and my dad on the ranch
My grandpa has a Massey 265. Shes worn out but its got family history in the thing
Sorry for your loss good sir
And I feel your pain granger smith I know how it feels to lose someone close to you and taught you everything you know
And the song is 99% accurate and he did pass away and was found in a tractor
Thank you granger smith this is an amazing song and my grandpa was like your dad and this is almost how it went every day and he passed away on may 21st 2018 and we played this song at his service and the last time I talked to him was 2 weeks before that and he was yelling at me and this song makes me cry but it is an amazing song and I think of as a tribute to anything like what happened
This year on father's day, I put my oldest son on the seat of my dad's tractor and let him drive for the first time. Not working, just teaching him how to drive. I hope that one day, his kids will make hay with that same Massey Ferguson 1100
What a stupid song search up NF he is so good.
Love this song explains why i love tractors so much you get a feeling of freedom when you are up there
I feel that way when ever I am farming and I have people that make fun of me at school, only if they could only drive my tractor and hear this great song.
reminds me of my dad. drank his coffee black whor muddy boots and a johndeere hat tought me everything i know
love u from libya man
this video should get 1 million likes because this is true country music
I love my Cub trakter it might be old but I still like it
So Massey-Ferguson International Harvester and John Deere had songs made for them come on why not Allis Chalmers
Like my paw paw😢😢😢
So sad
This reminds me of my grandpa massy fegerson that he uses for tobacco
Great video and sorry for the loss
What a powerful song! Thank you for sharing Granger Smith!
Thanks for writing this song. It reminds me of my Grandpa, who passed away February 27, 2017. I miss him so much. He drove his tractor everyday and farming was his whole life. So thankful for the heritage he left us with; so I can pass those memories to my kids on our own farm. There is nothing that compares to life on a farm 💗
DK Family sorry
See I think songs like this show hard a farmer works (being a farmer my self) it's nice to see when people realise how important farmers r to the world and if all the farmers stopped the world would end as simple as that
Good song very good
Spend more time with your son
When I was a year old my grandpa took me for a ride in his tractor. Two weeks later he passed. This song means the world to me. Good job Granger Smith.
Coming from a sixth generation famer who is 24 and this pulls at the heart strings. I am proud to say that we still have and operate 3 of the tractors that my great grandfather bought new and they have not left the farm or the family and never will.
I live in Ontario Canada and the rest of my family lives in New Brunswick Canada and I remember the night my dad got a phone call from my grandmother saying that my grandfather was slowly passing away and since then every time I hear this song I think about him....
Grancr sith Lord
What a touching song Mr. Smith. As a proud canadian farmer, i can say we live about the same way as you do, American friends, as much as every other farmers in the world. I grew up on a David Brown 990 and i know what youre talking about. You know, we spend so much hours on those tractors. Thank you.
François Pigeon what province do ya live in?
Steven Willett Québec
My grandad has a Massey 240 an every time I get over to his place first thing I want to do is ride a dirtbike in the washes (northwestern nm) next I head for that tractor, ahh I love it. Memories
John Miller ,,😀
amen brother im sorry for your loss
Love this song.Reminds me of granddaddy who died when I was 4.He had a Massey 265 which I use now more then my own car.Each time I fire it up I still envision sitting on his lap as a baby riding down the creek bottom.
How come high quality music like this can be so low in views?
i love how this is his dad in the video. What a great video.
when my grandpa dies, ill for sure be takin his silverado and all his toys, keepin them safe, ill daily drive that 2001 1500hd, ill run that engine till it dies, ill keep it stock as it is right now, ill go to the spot he died, and just sit there thinkin 'bout him,
# bloodyfist Saddest thing will be when that Chevy breaks in a week.
1980s Case 448 yard tractor. My Grandpa Dieckman passed away in December 2018. He used this tractor after he retired to help LOTS of people by mowing for them to make a little extra money. I can't remember him not having it. I am going to keep it up best I can (seems grandpa thought he was an engineer, always welding on stuff lol). It's very hard to use it and not smile now.
iv lost half my family, this song makes me emotional when i listen to it, especially the line "it tore my world apart when god took him away, didn't get to say good bye",,, i never did get the chance to even just see or talk to my lost ones,
i just lost my dad and he wanted me to help him in fields and i never did and i hate myself for it
I lost my great grand father
Great music Granger ignore all the city boys making bad comments
You are best best singer :))
this song and 5 More Minutes always get me. I'm fortunate enough to still have my father with me, but he means the world to me. And 5 more minutes gets me because I wish I had 5 more minutes to tell my grandfather how much he meant to me. Always tell your loved ones you love them and how much they mean to you because you just never know.
How can 74 people not like this song?
Inherited an old JD 90 from my grandpa. Hince the Deereman name. Trained me right, but it is all what we grew up seeing our dads and granddads running. Keep them old tractors running!
Bud there is no such thing as a model 90 John Deere with the exception of the French 90f orchard tractor and the model 90 skidsteer
My papaw left us his Massey 240 just like that one
Nothing clears your mind quite like firing up an an old tractor and mowing a field
I'm sorry your dad died
Love this song... im sorry for your loss
The 70 people who disliked this should kill them selves
Agreed. However don't tell someone to kill themselves- they might do it. Trust me, I would know.
Frost that is slightly unnecessary don't you think?
i just found this song. it made me think of my grandpa a lot. even though im there like every weekend. he is like a dad to me. its gonna be hard to see him leave. because i have done almost everything with him. and he has formed me to be the guy that i am at age 17. but keep your head up man. you can do it!
Great song
What a great song. This one hit me
