HIXTAPE, Joe Diffie - 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 up on the water tower
Stood on the rail and
Painted a ten-foot heart

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've 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
(Yes, they did)
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

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
The boy should've used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green

Now more than once the town has discovered
Painting over it ain't no use
There ain't no paint in the
World that'll cover it
The heart keeps showing through

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
The fool should've used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green

Ah, paint it green, boy!

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
The boy should've used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green

Oh, take us home Joe Diffie john Deere green
