John Deere Green - Baba Brinkman, Jonny Quality

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
