homegrown kids - 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
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 should have 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 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’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
“the boy should’ve used red”
but it looked good to charlene
in john deere green
john deere green
