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 climbed upon the water tower
Stood on the rail and painted a ten foot heart 

In John Deere green, on a hot summer night
He wrote "Billy Bob loves Charlene" in letters three foot high
And the whole town said that he should've used red 
But it looked good to Charlene 
In John Deere green

Settled down on eighty acres
Raising sweet corn, kids and tomatoes
They went together like a hand and a glove
Yes, they did
On a clear day from their front yard
If you look and know what to look 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 three foot high
And the whole town said the boy should've used red 
But it looked good to Charlene 
In John Deere green

Now more than once the town has discovered 
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 three foot high
And the whole town said the fool should've used red 
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green

Ah, paint it green, boy

In John Deere green, on a hot summer night
He wrote "Billy Bob loves Charlene" in letters three foot high
And the whole town said the boy should've used red 
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green

Oh, take us home, Joe Diffie
John Deere green
