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
He climed the water tower
Stood on the rail and painted a 10ft heart
In John Deere green
On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3ft high
And the whole town siad that he should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green
They settled down on 80 acres
Raising sweet corn, kids and tomato's
They went together like a hand and a glove
On a clear day from their front yard
If you look and know what to llok 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 3ft high
And the whole town siad that he should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green
Now more then once the town has dicoved
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 3ft high
And the whole town siad that he should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green
Ahh, paint it green boy
In John Deere green
On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3ft high
And the whole town siad that he should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green
John Deere green
