It's late in the season, late in the day Harvest is finished, I'm hauling in my pay
Twenty loads of haul till the man said I'm free Now at last, long last, this one's for me
This one's for me, this one's for me It's late in the season and late in the day
I'm high on believing, I've paid my way At last, long last, this one's for me
Freewheeling through the valleys gives me speed to make the hills
The breeze bites my arm, harvest's finished, gives me chills
Like diamonds in a jeweler's chest, the lights of town will rise
My hard nose, I've done my best, dust is in my eyes
This one's for me, this one's for me It's late in the season and late in the day
I'm high on believing, I've paid my way At last, long last, this one's for me
Others pass me by, with new and bigger rigs I wonder how they do it, or are they just borrowed big?
My old truck runs on luck, it's as old as me It's made it through another year, working interest free
This one's for me, this one's for me It's late in the season and late in the day
I'm high on believing, I've paid my way At last, long last, this one's for me
Oh, the elevator man is tired, his price best be fair
But I know it's not his choice, or he'd not be working there
I'll wait in line, dump a load for cash the wheat will bring
Then home again, a late night beer, think about next spring
This one's for me, this one's for me It's late in the season and late in the day
I'm high on believing, I've paid my way At last, long last, this one's for me
At last, long last, this one's for me
