“Planting Season”

Written by Johnny Smith

IN THE LINE AT WAL-MART,

THE CASHIER WAS IN DESPAIR

I FELT THE SPIRIT PROMPTING,

SO I PRAYED RIGHT THEN AND THERE!

THE LINE WENT PAST THE DING DONGS,

MY WIFE JUST HID HER FACE

BUT WHEN THE GOOD LORD SAYS IT’S TIME,

YOU SHARE ABOUT HIS GRACE.

MY WIFE LOOKED UP AND ASKED ME,

“BABE, WHAT’S YOUR REASON”?

I SMILED AT HER AND SAID,

“YOU KNOW, IT’S PLANTING SEASON”!

CHORUS

IT’S PLANTIN’ SEASON!!!

IT’S PLANTIN’ SEASON!!!!

WHEN IT’S TIME TO SHARE GOD’S WORD,

YOU’VE ALWAYS GOT A REASON

NO MATTER WHAT THE HARVEST,

NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER

WE’RE HERE TO SPREAD THE NEWS

‘CAUSE WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

THE TRAFFIC WAS A JAMMING.

IT WAS NEARIN’ FIVE O’CLOCK,

THE CAR IN FRONT WAS SMOKIN’,

I THINK HE CRACKED A BLOCK

I JUMPED RIGHT OUT TO HELP HIM,

THE OIL AND WATER SPEWED,

SO I TOLD HIM ALL GOD DID FOR ME,

AND SHARED THE GOOD, GOOD NEWS

MY WIFE LOOKED UP AND BEGGED,

“BABE WHAT’S THE REASON”?

I SMILED AT HER AND SAID,

“YOU KNOW, ITS PLANTING SEASON”!

VS.3

TOOK MY WIFE OUT TO THE MOVIES,

TO SEE A PICTURE SHOW

THERE I SAW A GUY FROM WORK,

HE JUST SEEMED MIGHTY LOW,

I SENT HER IN WITHOUT ME.

I’LL BE IN – NO TIME AT ALL.

BUT BY THE TIME THE SHOW WAS OVER,

I WAS HAVIN’ AN ALTAR CALL.

HER EYES THEY WERE SAD.  SHE SAID,

“BABE, WHAT’S THE REASON”?

YOU KNOW I JUST CAN’T HELP IT,

IT’S ALWAYS PLANTIN’ SEASON”!

CHORUS

IT’S PLANTIN’ SEASON!!!

IT’S PLANTIN’ SEASON!!!!

WHEN IT’S TIME TO SHARE GOD’S WORD,

YOU’VE ALWAYS GOT A REASON

NO MATTER WHAT THE HARVEST,

NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER

WE’RE HERE TO SPREAD THE NEWS

‘CAUSE WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

I TOOK MY WIFE OUT SHOPPING,

THEN TO THE NAIL SALON,

THEM LADIES WITH THEIR PEDICURES,

THEIR TALES WENT ON AND ON

I WAITED, SEEMED LIKE HOURS.

THEN GAVE MY WIFE, “THE LOOK”.

THE NEXT THING THAT I KNEW,

SHE WAS SHARING THE GOOD BOOK.

I LOOKED AT HER AND PLEADED,

“BABY, WHAT’S THE REASON”?

SHE SMILED AT ME AND SAID,

“YOU KNOW, IT’S PLANTIN’ SEASON”!

CHORUS
IT’S PLANTIN’ SEASON!!!

IT’S PLANTIN’ SEASON!!!!

WHEN IT’S TIME TO SHARE GOD’S WORD,

YOU’VE ALWAYS GOT A REASON

NO MATTER WHAT THE HARVEST,

NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER

WE’RE HERE TO SPREAD THE NEWS

‘CAUSE WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!
