Verse 1:
Groceries are growing right here in the soil,
From the sweat of my brow and the sun’s hot boil.
We plant the seeds and we pray for rain,
But the price in the store makes me feel insane.
Groceries are pickin’ from the vine,
Ain’t no middleman between this meal and mine.
Chorus:
Groceries are… not shipped from some faraway land,
They’re fresh from the dirt and plucked by my hand.
From farm to table, with love and grit,
Groceries are the life we make of it.
No shiny label, no corporate game,
Just nature’s bounty, from the ground it came.
Verse 2:
Groceries are chasing chickens through the yard,
They don’t come in a box, and they make sure it’s hard.
Milk straight from the cow, eggs warm in the nest,
Everything here is the farmer’s best.
Groceries are kneading dough on a wooden board,
Not frozen in plastic at the grocery store.
Chorus:
Groceries are… not shipped from some faraway land,
They’re fresh from the dirt and plucked by my hand.
From farm to table, with love and grit,
Groceries are the life we make of it.
No shiny label, no corporate game,
Just nature’s bounty, from the ground it came.
Bridge:
They say convenience is all the rage,
But real food don’t belong in a microwaved cage.
Out here, we know how to do it right,
We’ll grow it, harvest it, cook it up tight.
Verse 3:
Groceries are early mornings, tilling the field,
Waiting on the harvest for the meal it’ll yield.
They’re veggies sproutin’ with dirt still clingin’,
Not wrapped in plastic with a barcode ringin’.
Groceries are handshakes at the farmers’ market stand,
Supporting your neighbor, lending a hand.
Chorus:
Groceries are… not shipped from some faraway land,
They’re fresh from the dirt and plucked by my hand.
From farm to table, with love and grit,
Groceries are the life we make of it.
No shiny label, no corporate game,
Just nature’s bounty, from the ground it came.
Outro:
Groceries are… the sweat and pride,
The meal you eat, and the work worldwide.
So grab a fork, dig in, don’t be shy,
These groceries are real, straight from the sky.
