[Verse 1] 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 They climbed up on the water tower Stood on the rail and painted a tenfoot heart [Chorus] In John Deere green On a hot summer night He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene In letters threefoothigh And the whole town said that he should have used red But it looked good to Charlene In John Deere green [Verse 2] Thy settled down on eighty acrs 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 [Chorus] In John Deere green On a hot summer night He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene In letters threefoothigh And the whole town said the boy should have used red But it looked good to Charlene In John Deere green [Bridge] Now more than once the town has discovered Painting over it aint no use There aint no paint in the world thatll cover it The heart keeps showing through [Chorus] In John Deere green On a hot summer night He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene In letters threefoothigh And the whole town said the fool should have used red But it looked good to Charlene In John Deere green Oh, paint it green boy [Chorus] In John Deere green On a hot summer night He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene In letters threefoothigh And the whole town said the boy should have used red But it looked good to Charlene In John Deere green [Outro] John Deere green
