My Mama always told me
That I’d never be lonely
If I made friends with everyone

And my Daddy drove a combine
Every day out in the sunshine
He said life wasn’t work if you made it fun

Now every where I turn
I’m reminded what I’ve learned
That makes me who I am

Make hay while the sun shines
Work hard til it’s closin’ time
Every day work and play by the Golden Rule
Go fishin’ at sunset
Steal a kiss every chance you get
Build your plans with your bare hands and power tools
Every day will turn out fine (or today is the perfect time to)
Make hay while the sun shines

Livin’ life in a small town
Has never brought me down
Folks ‘round here really got it right

Good men and good women
All earnin’ an honest livin’
But we know how to paint the town on Friday night

Now every chance I get
I thank God I never left
It’s part of who I am

Make hay while the sun shines
Work hard til it’s closin’ time
Every day work and play by the Golden Rule
Go fishin’ at sunset
Steal a kiss every chance you get
Build your plans with your bare hands and power tools
Every day will turn out fine (or today is the perfect time to)
Make hay while the sun shines

Weatherman says there’s no chance of rain
Let’s fire up the tractor, it’s the perfect day to


Make hay while the sun shines
Work hard til it’s closin’ time
Every day, work and play by the Golden Rule
Go fishin’ at sunset
Steal a kiss every chance we get
Build our plans with our bare hands and power tools
Today is the perfect time to
Make hay while the sun shines
