Verse 1
Poking along on an old John Deere
In weeds up to my throat
She’s burning oil and spit’n rust
I look out through the smoke
At the girl next door who’s hanging
wash
And fighting with the breeze
Cutoff jeans and pink lipstick
Did she just wink at me...
No no no... don’t leave
Chorus A
I need a hot rod tractor, tearing up this
field
I need to move a lot faster, now that it’s
revealed
Something’s cooking and the stove ain’t
hot
If I’m ever gonna get to what she’s got
I need a hot rod tractor
Verse 2
When I turn the corner by the Old Mill
Creek
I straighten up in my seat
She’s cross-legged on a flat-bed Ford
Parked beneath a tree
When out of the blue comes a red
Corvette
An’ a rooster tail of dirt
That Billy Bodine is looking to score
And he might get there first
My heart is ‘bout to burst
Repeat Chorus A
Bridge
Well I’m too dang slow
Billy got there faster
I tip my hat to go
But she walks up to my tractor
... and says,
Verse 3 (½ verse)
“Boy you’ve got a sweet machine
Have you got room for me”
And as we pass that red Corvette
Billy’s on his knees
And I hear him asking “Please...
Chorus B (drop last line)
I need a hot rod tractor, tearing up this
field
Lord could you move a little faster, now
that it’s revealed
Something’s cooking and the stove ain’t
hot
If I’m ever gonna get to what she’s
got...
Repeat Chorus B
I need a hot rod tractor, tearing up this
field
Lord could you move a little faster, now
that it’s revealed
Something’s cooking and the stove ain’t
hot
If I’m ever gonna get to what she’s got
I need a hot rod tractor
Tag
Hot rod tractor... faster, faster
Hot rod tractor... faster, faster
Hot rod tractor... go man go
– End –
