Craig Morgan Lyrics
International Harvester I'm the son of a 3rd generation farmer I've been married 10 years to the farmer's daughter I'm a God fearin' hard workin' combine driver Hoggin' up the road on my p-p-p-p-plower Chug a lug a luggin' 5 miles an hour On my International Harvester Three miles of cars layin' on their horns Fallin' on deaf ears of corn Lined up behind me like a big parade Of late to work road raged jerks Shoutin' obscene words flippin' me the bird Well you may be on a state paved road But that blacktop runs through my payload Excuse me for tryin' to do my job But this year ain't been no bumper crop If you don't like the way I'm a drivin' Get back on the interstate Otherwise sit tight and be nice And quit yer honkin' at me that way Chorus: Cause I'm a son of a 3rd generation farmer I've been married 10 years to a farmer's daughter I got 2 boys in the county 4-H I'm a lifetime sponsor of the F.F.A. Hay! That's what I make I make a lotta hay for a little pay But I'm proud to say I'm a God fearin' hard workin' combine driver Hoggin' up the road on my a p-p-p-plower Chug a lug a lugin' 5 miles an hour On my International Harvester Well I know you got your own deadlines But cussin' me ain't savin' no time hoss This big-wheeled wide load ain't goin' any faster So just smile and wave and tip your hat To the man up on the tractor Chorus: Cause I'm a son of a 3rd generation farmer I've been married 10 years to a farmer's daughter I got two boys in the county 4-H I'm a lifetime sponsor of the F.F.A. Hay! That's what I make I make a lot of hay for a little pay But I'm proud to say I'm a God fearin' hard workin' combine driver Hoggin' up the road on my p-p-p-plower Chug a lug a lugin' 5 miles an hour On my International Harvester I'm a God fearin' hard workin' combine driver Hoggin' up the road on my p-p-p-plower Chug a lug a lugin' 5 miles an hour On my International Harvester ********************************************** I'm okay with that. Go for it! |

I can blame my wife, she thinks my tractor's sexy.
I couldn't go with green though. Benny |

Tractors rock. I've always wanted one and a vintage one at that. Not too big, just big enough to be a real tractor. Even though I only have an acre of land, it's on a hillside and I'd find something to do with it.
Many years ago, I used to work on a lot of old Ford and IH tractors. They're so basic and completely functional, even more so than working on an original '30s car or something like that. Nothing there that doesn't have a purpose. There's just something about a tractor that's very appealing to a tinkerer. BTW, back in the early to mid 70s when my friends and I were low-buck but hardcore drag racers, my best friend always painted his big block Mopar engines John Deere green, just to be different. It actually looked pretty good. That's a pretty nice color, Benny. It looks as if it could have been stock on a C4 or on most anything, for that matter. Just what kind of IH color is it? Truck, tractor, some implement? And what era does it come from? IH used to make some smaller trucks that were rock solid units. I almost bought a sweet '64 3/4 ton pick-up once. 345 V8, 4-speed w/ creeper, it felt as solid as a tank. I'd buy one now if I ever ran across a decent one. |

I got the paint at Tractor Supply. Its Valspar Tractor and
Implement series. Its not the Restoration series, no stores had that in stock. I have the mirrors and the targa to do to finish it. This was a near basket case car so I haven't hurt the value any. I'll post more pics as it progresses. Thanks. Benny |

You know Billie Bob luvs Charlene!
Joe Diffie 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 climed the water tower Stood on the rail and painted a 10ft heart In John Deere green On a hot summer night He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene In letters 3 foot high And the whole town said that he should have used red But it looked good to Charlene In John Deere green They settled down on 80 acres Raising sweet corn,kids and tomaters They went together like a hand and a glove On a clear day from their front yard If you look and know what to llok 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 3 foot high And the whole town said the boy should have used red But it looked good to Charlene In John Deere green Now more then once the town has dicovered 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 3 foot high And the whole town said that the fool should have used red But it looked good to Charlene In John Deere green Ahh,paint it green boy In John Deere green On a hot summer night He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene In letters 3 foot high And the whole town said the boy should have used red But it looked good to Charlene In John Deere green John Deere green |
