John Doe On A John Deere

(John Rich/Don Cook/Conley White)
 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
