I’ve Got Alfalfa in Strange Places
By Debbie “Hayride” Harper & The Prairie Songbirds
Verse 1
The sun’s risin’ high, the day’s just begun,
I’m out in the field, gettin’ the work done.
But you walked by with that crooked grin,
And now my mind’s nowhere near the barn or the bin.
I should be plantin’ seeds or balin’ hay,
But your arms pull me in and carry me away.
(bridge)
Chorus
Now, I’ve got alfalfa in strange places,
In my hair, down my shirt, and in my lacies.
We slipped away for a kiss by the barn door,
Now there’s hay in my jeans and a bit more.
We had fun when the day’s work slowed,
Who knew love could lighten the load?
But, I’ve got alfalfa in strange places,
But that’s what happens in wide open spaces.
(bridge)
Verse 2
The cows are callin’, but I’m not listenin’ now,
‘Cause when you pull me close, I forget the plow.
We sneak a kiss by the old oak tree,
The chores can wait, as far as I can see.
The dirt on my hands, the sun on my skin,
But all I can feel is this whirlwind we’re in.

Chorus
Now, I’ve got alfalfa in strange places,
In my hair, down my shirt, and in my lacies.
We slipped away for a kiss by the barn door,
Now there’s hay in my jeans and a bit more.
We had fun when the day’s work slowed,
Who knew love could lighten the load?
But, I’ve got alfalfa in strange places,
But that’s what happens in wide open spaces.

Bridge
The cows can wait, the tractor can, too,
‘Cause nothin’ beats a little time with you.
In between the rows of beans and corn,
We found love where the crops are born.
(beat)
Verse 3
The sun’s settin’ low, but we’re still not done,
You stole my heart under that big ol’ sun.
We laughed so hard, now there’s hay in my smile,
But for you, baby, I’d walk every mile.
The work’s piled up, but I don’t mind,
‘Cause with you, there’s alfalfa and love intertwined.
(bridge)
Chorus
Now, I’ve got alfalfa in strange places,
In my hair, down my shirt, and in my lacies.
We slipped away for a kiss by the barn door,
Now there’s hay in my jeans and a bit more.
We had fun when the day’s work slowed,
Who knew love could lighten the load?
But, I’ve got alfalfa in strange places,
But that’s what happens in wide open spaces.

Outro
So let’s get lost where the fields meet the blue,
With alfalfa in strange places, just me and you.
