They were farm kids, way down in Dixie
They met in high school, back in the nineties
He was a senior, she was a little younger
He was goin' steady with a girl named Betty
But the first time he saw her, he was a goner
And it was all over for Betty
And he said"Billy Bob loves Charlene" in letters three-foot high
And the whole town said the boy should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere Green
On the water tower
They settled down on 80 acres
Raisin' sweet corn and kids and tomatoes
They went to church on Sunday, and to town on Saturday
And they'd drive by the water tower
And he'd wink and she'd grin
'Cause he'd be right back there with her again
'Cause he wrote"Billy Bob loves Charlene" in letters three-foot high
And the whole town said the boy should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere Green
On the water tower
Now, more than once, the town has discovered
A few of the letters have been covered
By other lovers, and other names
But the water tower looks like a chalkboard in the sky
And the old folks say"It's a shame"
But Billy Bob's is still the biggest and the brightest stain
'Cause he wrote"Billy Bob loves Charlene" in letters three-foot high
And the whole town said the boy should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere Green
On the water tower
