She was up before the sun cracked the ridgeline, patching the roof in August and canning green beans in July while everybody at the feed store knew his name and nobody thought to ask about hers. Hired Hand Heart is a Tammy-and-Loretta-style tribute to every ranch woman who kept the ledger balanced, held the family line, and never once asked for a thank-you card. Don't mistake her quiet for someone who doesn't know her worth. - Original by Saddle Storms.

Lyrics: [Verse 1] She was up before the sun cracked the ridge line Coffee on the stove, she'd count the bills again He'd come in after dark with his hat pulled sideways She'd just nod and ask him how the fence held in the wind [Verse 2] Twenty years she kept the ledger balanced Patched the roof in August, canned the green beans in July Everybody knew his name at the feed store Nobody thought to ask her how she held that family line [Chorus] She's got a hired hand heart Worked without a wage, worked without a thank you card She's the post that held the wire, the hand that pulled the start Lord knows the land would've folded without her hired hand heart [Verse 3] Kids are grown and scattered cross the counties He sits in the good chair while she fixes up his plate She don't ask for credit, never did ask for credit But don't mistake her quiet for someone who don't know her worth [Chorus] She's got a hired hand heart Worked without a wage, worked without a thank you card She's the post that held the wire, the hand that pulled the start Lord knows the land would've folded without her hired hand heart [Bridge] She could've left a hundred times Could've walked out in the night But love ain't just a feeling, honey Sometimes it's just showing up and doing right [Final Chorus] She's got a hired hand heart Earned every callus, earned her place right from the start She's the post that held the wire, the hand that ran the plow apart The whole blessed operation runs on her hired hand heart [Outro] Runs on her hired hand heart.
