John Doe On A John Deere Lyrics

(John Rich/Don Cook/Conley White)

I drove a beat up tractor down a one
lane road
Pick her up early and away we'd go
Down to the river by the
edge of her daddy's farm
We used to lay in the shade of a cottonwood
tree
Back of my mind I thought she'd be
The one who'd spend forever in my
arms
She said there's gotta be more to life
I don't wanna be some farmer's
wife

Don't want a John Doe on a John Deere
There's a whole lotta boys
like you around here
I wanna hear love songs in my ear
Don't want a John
Doe on a John Deere
Not a John Doe on a John Deere

Well she packed
her things and left this town
And I kept working this rock hard
ground
Wondering if she ever thought about me
Then she called collect
from San Antone
Just to hear some news from home
She laughed about how
good things used to be
This big city ain't good for me
I'll meet you down
by the cottonwood tree

I need a John Doe on a John Deere
There ain't a
lotta boys like you around here
I wanna hear love songs in my ear
I need a
John Doe on a John Deere
Want a John Doe on a John Deere

I need a John
Doe on a John Deere
There ain't a lotta boys like you around here
I wanna
hear love songs in my ear
I need a John Doe on a John Deere
Want a John
Doe on a John Deere
