John Doe On A John Deere   





I drove a beat up tractor down a one lane road 

Pick her up early and away we'd go 

Down to the river by the edge of her daddy's farm 

We used to lay in the shade of a cottonwood tree 

Back of my mind I thought she'd be 

The one who'd spend forever in my arms 

She said there's gotta be more to life 

I don't wanna be some farmer's wife 

 

Don't want a John Doe on a John Deere 

There's a whole lotta boys like you around here 

I wanna hear love songs in my ear 

Don't want a John Doe on a John Deere 

Not a John Doe on a John Deere 

 

Well she packed her things and left this town 

And I kept working this rock hard ground 

Wondering if she ever thought about me 

Then she called collect from San Antone 

Just to hear some news from home 

She laughed about how good things used to be 

This big city ain't good for me 

I'll meet you down by the cottonwood tree 

 

I need a John Doe on a John Deere 

There ain't a lotta boys like you around here 

I wanna hear love songs in my ear 

I need a John Doe on a John Deere 

Want a John Doe on a John Deere 

 

I need a John Doe on a John Deere 

There ain't a lotta boys like you around here 

I wanna hear love songs in my ear 

I need a John Doe on a John Deere 

Want a John Doe on a John Deere
