Montgomery Gentry

Montgomery Gentry is an American country music duo composed of vocalists Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry, both natives of Kentucky. The two began performing in the 1990s as part of two different bands with Montgomery's brother, John Michael Montgomery. Although Gentry won a talent contest in 1994, he reunited with Eddie Montgomery after Gentry was unable to find a solo record deal, and Montgomery Gentry was founded in 1999. The duo is known for its Southern rock influences, and has collaborated with Charlie Daniels, Toby Keith, Five for Fighting and members of The Allman Brothers Band. more »

(Dan Colehour/Scooter Carusoe)

Old white washed barn doors
Rain rusted tin
Straw packed shirt and blue jeans
Hangin' in the wind
There's never time for these bones to mend 

Up before the sun dries
The frost on my fields
I've got the diesel burnin'
Turnin' these four wheels 

Across this land I been handed down
Feel my roots run deep in this ground 

So stand me up tall in this seat
Lord help me guide this plow beneath my feet
And turn this earth over one more time
Some say this way of life is done
But not for my father's son 

Three Generations
Before I ever came
Cut back these timbers
And bet their lives on grain 

And I want to see just once before I die
Us doin' more than just barely getting by 

So stand me up tall in this seat
Lord help me guide this plow beneath my feet
And turn this earth over one more time
Some say this way of life is done
But not for my father's son 

Now and then I walk my fence
Down by the old country road
And watch the cars go rushin' by
And disappear like ghosts 

Out where the sky meets the amber waves
Yeah I'm a rock in this land God made 

So stand me up tall in this seat
Lord help me guide this plow beneath my feet
And turn this earth over one more time
Some say this way of life is done
But not for my father's son
