Karaoke John Deere Green Joe Diffie

They were farm kids way down in Dixie

They met in high school in the sixties

Everyone knew it was love from the start

One July in the midnight hour they climbed upon the water tower

Stood on the rail and painted a ten foot heart

In John Deere green on a hot summer night

He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene in letters three foot high

And the whole town said that he should've use red

But it looked good to Charlene in John Deere green

They settled down on eighty 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 three foot high

And the whole town said that boy should've use 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 three foot high

And the whole town said that boy should've use red

But it looked good to Charlene in John Deere green

Ah

Paint it green, boy

In John Deere green on a hot summer night

He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene in letters three foot high

And the whole town said that boy should've use red

But it looked good to Charlene in John Deere green
