Plowing a Straight Row

I was out in the field at work one day when the master came by and he heard me say,

“How do I know our crops will grow?”  He said, “You just keep plowing a straight row.”

 

Well the sun beat down but I kept going, helping to get us ready for sowing.

Some of the others were moving kinda' slow, but I Just kept plowing a straight row.

 

Come the end of the day and I was plumb tired; would I still have a job or would I be fired? 

Then the boss came by he said, “Don’t go... Just keep plowing a straight row.”

 

Now others have come and others have gone, but I just keep plowing on and on;

Hoping that someday my work will show...I just keep plowing a straight row.
