I drove a beat up tractor down a one lane road
G C
Pick her up early and away we'd go
G D G
Dow to the river by the edge of her daddy's farm.
G C
We used to lay in the shade of a cottonwood tree
G C
In the back of my mind I thought she'd be
G D G
The one who'd spend forever in my arms
C D
She said there's gotta be more to life
C D
I don't wanna be some farmer's wife.
C G
Don't want a John Doe on a John Deere
C G
There's a whole lotta boys like you around here
C D C
I wanna hear love songs in my ear
G C
Don't wanna John Doe on a John Deere
G D G
Not a John Doe on a John Deere.
G C
Well, she packed her things and left this town
G C
I kept workin' this rock hard ground
G D G
Wondering if she ever thought about me
G C
Then she called collect from San Antone
G C
Just to hear some news from home
G D G
She laughed about how good things used to be
C D
This big city ain't good for me
C D
I'll meet you down by the cottonwood tree.
C G
I need a John Doe on a John Deere
C G
There's ain't a lotta boys like you around here
C D C
I wanna hear love songs in my ears
G C
I need a John Doe on a John Deere
G C
Wanna John Doe on a John Deere.
