John Deere green

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
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 shouldve 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
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 shouldve used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green
Now more than once the town has discovered
Painting over it aint no use
There aint no paint in the world thatll 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 shouldve 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 the boy shouldve used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green
