Dear mama, well, here's a letter from your girl |
|
Well, I think my city days are done, mom |
|
And it ain't been three weeks since I came |
|
And mama, do remember what you said |
|
Say your prayers before you go to bed, child |
|
And remember city boys ain't the same |
|
I'm like the John Deere tractor |
|
In a half acre field |
|
Tryin' to plow a furrow |
|
Where the soil is made of steel |
|
How I wish I was home, mom |
|
Where the blue grass is growin' |
|
And the sweet country boys don't complain |
|
And, mama, so much perfume I thought I'd drown |
|
And the Lord didn't seem to be nowhere around |
|
Hey, I felt just like a flower from the vine |
|
I'm like the John Deere tractor |
|
In a half acre field |
|
Tryin' to plow a furrow |
|
Where the soil is made of steel |
|
How I'd like to be home, mom |
|
Where the blue grass is growin' |
|
And the fire light shimmers and it shines |
|
I'm like a John Deere tractor |
|
In a half acre field |
|
Tryin' to plow a furrow |
|
Where the soil is made of steel |
|
How I wish I was home, mom |
|
Where the blue grass is growin' |
|
And the sweet country boys |
