John Deere Green Lyrics - Singles - 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 10 foot heart 

In John Deere Green 

On a hot summer night 

He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene 

In letters 3 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 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 

On a hot summer night 

He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene 

In letters 3 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 3 foot 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 3 foot high 

And the whole town said 

The boy should have used red 

But it looked good to Charlene 

In John Deere Green
