lyrics

Tractor

I never had no money
you had every reason to complain
I never had no future
you had every right to walk away

Yeah, but I kept working hard
even when they repossessed my truck
and now things have turned around
I have reason to believe things are looking up

I just bought a tractor
I'm gonna grow me a fresh new crop of dreams
I just bought a tractor
hey Debra Lee, won't you ride again with me?

I like your cotton dresses
I like your open smile and your flowing open hair
you still wear Grandma Esther's ring
that's why I like to think that you still care

A brand new motor is a brand new chance
this one's almost good as new, it's got 45 hp
and when the sun sets on my little piece of land
do you remember just how pretty it can be?

I just bought a tractor
I'm gonna grow me a fresh new crop of dreams
I just bought a tractor
hey Debra Lee, won't you ride again with me?

I used to love waking with you by my side
way before the early morning light
I used to love working with you side by side all day
and hold you close all through the night

I just bought a tractor
I'm gonna harvest a fresh new crop of dreams
I just bought a tractor
hey Debra Lee, won't you ride again with me
