Somebody with a truck and two strong arms
Not scared of dirt and willin' to work
till the sun goes down
So I pulled up and alisema I'm your man
I could start right now and we shook hands
He alisema the fence needs fixin',
the peaches need pickin'
And the cows need bringin round
Chorus:
I was haulin hay, I was feedin the hogs
and that summer sun had me sweatin like a dog
So I cooled off in the creek
then it was back to work in the daggum heat
I was cussin' out loud, thinkin bout quitin'
Lookin' back now I'm sure glad I didn't
Cuz just when i thought it couldn't get no hotter
I caught glimpse of the farmer's daughter
She was just gettin' nyumbani from Panama city
she was all tanned up and my kinda pretty
When her eyes met mine
I was thinkin that I would sure upendo my job
as the days got shorter our talks got longer
the kisses got sweeter and the feelings got stronger
so we'd hop in the truck and get all Tangled up
every chance we got
we were down kwa the river all night long
when the sun came up I was sneakin' her nyumbani
and draggin my butt to work
with the smell of her perfume on my shati
I'd be on the trekta she'd be on my mind
with that sun beatin' down on this back of mine
Just when I thought it couldnt get no hotter
I fell in upendo with the farmer's daughter
we got married last spring
Woah and there ain't no better life for me
I'm still haulin' nyasi, nyasi kavu and feedin' the hogs
and that summer sun has me sweatin' like a dog
so i cool off in the creek
and she brings me outta glass of sweet ice chai
I'm on the trekta and shes on my mind
and I can't wait till its quitin' time
and just when i think it can't get no hotter
I come nyumbani to the farmer's daughter
Yeah the farmer's daughter
The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each songesha wewe make
Your voice is warm and tender
A upendo that I could not forsake
(first chorus)
'Cause I am your lady
And wewe are my man
Whenever wewe reach for me
I'll do all that I can
Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside's too
Much to take
That all ends when I'm with wewe
Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always kwa your side
(repeat first chorus)
(second chorus)
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of upendo
The sound of your moyo beating
Made it clear
Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away
(repeat first chorus)
(repeat sekunde chorus)
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each songesha wewe make
Your voice is warm and tender
A upendo that I could not forsake
(first chorus)
'Cause I am your lady
And wewe are my man
Whenever wewe reach for me
I'll do all that I can
Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside's too
Much to take
That all ends when I'm with wewe
Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always kwa your side
(repeat first chorus)
(second chorus)
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of upendo
The sound of your moyo beating
Made it clear
Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away
(repeat first chorus)
(repeat sekunde chorus)
