American Aquarium - John Deere Green lyrics

They were farm kids way down in Dixie
Met in high school in the sixties
Everyone knew it was love from the start
One July in the midnight hour
They 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 have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green

Thеy settled down on eighty acrеs
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

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 the
Boy should have 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 the
Fool should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green oh, 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 the
Boy should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green

John Deere green
