(Verse 1)
I woke up one day, thought I’d buy a plow,
But I don’t know a tractor from a dairy cow.
I bought some seeds, didn’t check the kind,
Now I’ve got pumpkins growing on a grapevine!
I tried to milk a goat, well, that went wrong,
Turns out that’s not where the milk belongs.

(Chorus)
I wanna be a farmer, but I’ve got no clue,
I don’t know what a silo does or what I’m supposed to do.
The cows are laughing, the chickens too,
‘Cause I wanna be a farmer, but I’ve got no clue!

(Verse 2)
I got a pair of overalls, boots up to my knees,
But every time I feed the pigs, they just steal my keys.
I tried to ride a horse, ended up on the ground,
Turns out I’m more city than this country town.
I bought a tractor, but it won’t start,
I think I forgot the most important part!

(Chorus)
I wanna be a farmer, but I’ve got no clue,
I don’t know what a combine does or what I’m supposed to do.
The sheep are smirking, the ducks mock too,
‘Cause I wanna be a farmer, but I’ve got no clue!

(Bridge)
I thought the rooster was broken ‘cause he didn’t crow,
Turns out he’s a hen—well, who could know?
I planted corn in January—guess that’s wrong,
I’m learning the hard way it’s a lifelong song.

(Chorus)
I wanna be a farmer, but I’ve got no clue,
I don’t know what a thresher is or what I’m supposed to do.
The goats are giggling, the barn cats too,
‘Cause I wanna be a farmer, but I’ve got no clue!

(Outro)
But I’ll keep on trying, I’ll figure it out,
I’ll learn what this farming thing’s all about.
Till then, I’ll chase chickens and bail hay blue,
‘Cause I wanna be a farmer, even if I have no clue!
