John Deere Green

Joe Diffie

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 
He climbed upon the water tower
Stood on the rail and painted a 10ft heart
In John Deere Green

On a hot summer night 
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3ft 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 tomatos
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 3 ft 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 3ft high
And the whole town said the fool should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene 
In John Deere Green

Ahh paint it green boy
In John Deere Green

On a hot summer night 
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3ft high
And the whole town said the boy should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene 
In John Deere Green
