Baba Brinkman - John Deere Green lyrics

Hey John Deere green In letters three feet tall Jimmy loves Charlene In John Deere green We drove here in a John Deere Tractor I cracked a few jokes, happy to hear laughter And then cracked a beer to reduce my fear factor So this lump in my throat would disappear faster And then I got down on one knee and asked her If she would be my sweetheart until the sweet hereafter And she clapped her hands together in a way That told me she'd stay with me forever and a day And I took her by the arm and led her away Up the ladder to the barn loft, and laid her head in the hay And later showed her the place I wrote the letters of her name Three feet tall, and things were never the same And ever since, I've been saying' that the one clear thing I know is these words in this song here I sing As these guitar strings make my ears ring Billy loves Charlene in John Deere Greene Hey John Deere green In letters three feet tall Jimmy loves Charlene In John Deere green I didn't know much, but I knew enough To know the two of us had found true love We had few rough fights where we'd feud and fuss Like two stubborn mules who refuse to budge But we kept a roof above our two heads in the rain And when things got strained we remembered the place With the green spray paint where the letters remain Billy loves Charlene in John Deere Greene Hey John Deere green In letters three feet tall Jimmy loves Charlene In John Deere green
