From the recording Hill City

This is Rex's song written about his family of farmers around Hill City, the struggles and pride of being a provider of food for this great nation and the world

Lyrics

He's been down the same dirt road way back to 1971
And he rules over his own creation, the only fight he's ever won
His land reaches far and wide, far as the eye can see
Out here it's do or die, at least that's what he believes
[Chorus]
He says I feed the world and my family
All from the earth that's right here under my feet
No man can take that away from me
I feed the world
[Verse 2]
He works the land with his bare hands, just like his daddy before
Who started over back in '57 when he got back from the war
He misses daddy's strength and wisdom, his farm philosophy
This land is yours to lay bare or broken, son that's the way it should be
[Chorus]
He says I feed the world and my family
All from the earth that's right here under my feet
No man can take that away from me
I feed the world
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Lady Luck and Mother Nature are the things that he fears the most
He tried to guess them but he never learned a lesson, it's the way the story goes
The rise and fall of the futures, he signs his life away
He has no love of the politicians, but that's the man you pay
[Chorus]
He says I feed the world and my family
All from the earth that's right here under my feet
No man can take that away from me
I feed the world and my family
All from the earth that's right here under my feet
No man can take that away from me
I feed the world
I feed the world
I feed the world
