Dear John Deere,

Dear John Deere, do you remember

When I was just a kid on your fender?

Me and grandpa cuttin' that old hayfield

He pushed the gas, I turned the wheel

Dear John Deere, it was you and me

Turn road swervin', turnin' sixteen

Almost killed us killin' number five

From a six-pack of daddy's Natty Light

You're the reason I remember my first deer

'Cause nothin' ran like us

Back when we were a little more green

And I broke down on you

And you broke down on me

All I know is if you hadn't been there

I wouldn't be half the man that's standin' here

Dear John Deere, thanks for gettin' stuck

That night we picked Abby Ray up

What I thought went all wrong that night

It turns out it turned out alright

I was covered in mud

And she was laughin'

And that turned out to be the best damn thing that could've happened

'Cause nothin' ran like us

Back when we were a little more green

And I broke down on you

And you broke down on me

All I know is if you hadn't been there

I wouldn't be half the man that's standin' here

Dear John Deere, oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, mm

Now that no-tread tire is a tire swing

And that yellow spoke rim is a fire ring

And I'm sittin' 'round here now

Wishin' I could go back there somehow

To when nothin' ran like us

Back when we were a little more green

And I broke down on you

And you broke down on me

All I know is if you hadn't been there

I wouldn't be half the man that's standin' here

Dear John Deere

Mm, dear John Deere

Oh, oh, oh, mm, mm
