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
