John Deere Letter Lyrics


He’s always working that land and tending them crops
From spring until the harvest, you can’t get him to stop
He plows under the sun, he plows under the moon
And I’ve become a farm widow with an attitude, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I’ve tried getting his attention, but it’s just no use
Guess he likes the smell of diesel more than my perfume
So last night I tiptoed out into the middle of that field
I climbed on up and right there on that tractor windshield

I left a John Deere letter
I hope you’re happy together
You and your big, green girlfriend can ride off in the sunset
Saw the way you looked at her the first time that you met
I guess I should’ve known better
Than to trust that homewrecker
I’ll be foot down, southbound, sayonara, gone forever
By the time you read my John Deere letter

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, I thought my competition would be wearing high heels
Instead of four black tires and a dress made of steel
So I put lipstick on her grille and then I painted her pink
I poured a bag of sugar in her gas tank

And left a John Deere letter
I hope you’re happy together
You and your big, green girlfriend can ride off in the sunset
Saw the way you looked at her the first time that you met
I guess I should’ve known better
Than to trust that homewrecker
I’ll be foot down, southbound, sayonara, gone forever
By the time you read my John Deere letter, yeah

Well, you know what really gets me?
He really thinks his tractor’s sexy, yeah

Oh, I should’ve known better
Than to trust that homewrecker
Now I’ll be foot down, southbound, sayonara, gone forever
By the time you read my dear John, John Deere letter

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, you’ll get my John Deere letter

Sayonara, baby
Yeah, I hope you two will be real happy together
Let me know where you’re registered
Probably the tractor supply store
Yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
