NOW PLAYING:
JOHN DEERE GREEN
Joe Diffie
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 the water tower
Stood on the rail and painted a 10-foot heart
In John Deere green
[CHORUS]:
On a hot summer night
He wrote 'Billy Bob loves Charlene'
In letters three feet 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 80 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
[CHORUS]:
On a hot summer night
He wrote 'Billy Bob loves Charlene'
In letters three feet high
And the whole town said that he should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green
