Artist/Band: Joe Diffie
Lyrics for Song: John Deere Green
Lyrics for Album: Ultimate Collection [2009]



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 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 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 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



John Deere Green
