John Deere Green Lyrics

John Deere Green lyrics

They were farm kids way down in Dixie

They met in high school in the
sixties

Everyone knew it was love from the start

One July in the
midnight hour

He climbed upon the water tower

Stood on the rail and
painted a ten foot heart



CHORUS

In John Deere Green

On a hot
summer night

He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene

In letters three foot
high

And the whole town said

That he should have used red

But it
looked good to Charlene

In John Deere green





They settled down
on eighty acres

Raising sweet corn, kids and tomatoes

They went together
like a hand and a glove

On a clear day from their front yard

If you look
and know what to look for

Off to the east you can still read his words of
love



repeat CHORUS



Now more than once the town has discovered


that paintin over it ain't no use

There ain't no paint that'll cover it


if the heart still shows through
