🔥 About the Song
Welcome to Mowin’ and Growin’ — a toe-tappin’, head-bobbin’, hard-hustlin’ blend of country rock and hip-hop from The Christian Cowboy Life. This song is all about real blue-collar work, faith in the trenches, and staying grounded in your purpose. Whether you’re mowing lawns, hauling trailers, or just sippin’ sweet tea under the sun, it’s a reminder that honest labor under God’s eye is a blessing, not a burden.
🕊️ “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” – Colossians 3:232
💬 Behind the Song
This song was born out of a real-life grind — waking up before the sun, pushing through breakdowns, sweat, and heat, with nothing but prayer and a mower. It’s a story of choosing your path and finding peace in the push.
It’s got a little grime, a whole lotta grace, and that kind of country fire only faith can spark.
❤️ Scripture Spotlight
“Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” – Galatians 6:9
Let this truth ride with you: the grind may be daily, but so is God’s grace. Keep mowing. Keep growing.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Woke up before my alarm, dark as can be
Thinking of those wet ditches, I had to pee
Loaded up the trailer, got ready for the day
Back out in the Florida heat, no time for play
Bridge 1:
Sun lighting up the sky, almost time to fly
Watching this wild rabbit, munchin' on a carrot
He got a friend but he ain’t gonna share it
Chorus:
I chose this work, ain’t no time to be scared
Work hard play hard in the hot air
Out in the trenches, the Lord as my guide
A countryman at heart, working with pride
Verse 2:
Soakin' wet with sweat, but the job is done
The Toro is actin' up, now my snapper's number one
Headed to the dentist, cleanin' up my smile
They happy to see me, makin' it all worthwhile
Bridge 2:
It’s a harvest moon, almost Halloween time
A whole lotta Country slang, in this rhyme
Verse 3:
Made it home, checkin' my plants
Outside growin’, takin' my chance
Cleanin' up the kitchen, then writin' some tunes
Country music flowin', under the harvest moon
Chorus:
I chose this work, ain’t no time to be scared
Work hard play hard in the hot air
Out in the trenches, the Lord as my guide
A countryman at heart, working with pride
Verse 4:
Prayin' for tomorrow, it’s almost in sight
With faith in my heart, everything seems right
Outdoors, nature tight, that's how I ride
Living the country life, stride by stride
Bridge 3:
Banjos and fiddles, playin' my song
Doin’ that Country thang, all day long
Chorus:
I chose this work, ain’t no time to be scared
Work hard play hard in the hot air
Out in the trenches, the Lord as my guide
A countryman at heart, working with pride
Outro:
Country livin', workin' hard every day
With faith in my heart, I'll find my way
Cutting these grasses, under the sky so wide
Serving the people, with the Lord as guide.
