"Green" lyrics

"Green"

Lookout!
People used to call me backwards
Living out here with the tractors
Letting this world leave me behind
Now-a-days I'm an innovator
I'm a country boy prognosticator
I'm a man ahead of my times

I've got a hundred-acre farm
I've got a John Deere in my barn
I've got a garden in my yard, full of corn, peas and beans
I've got a guitar I play unplugged
I've got a home-grown girl I love
And when the summer time hits, we skinny-dip in the stream
I was green before green was a thing

Sheets on the clothes line drying
Red Tail hawks a-flying
A couple of deer on the timber line
And I know a lot more about cane-pole fishing
Than I ever will know about carbon emission
And my little corner of the world is doing just fine

I've got a hundred-acre farm
I've got a John Deere in my barn
I've got a garden in my yard, full of corn, peas and beans
I've got a guitar I play unplugged
I've got a home-grown girl I love
And when the summer time hits, we skinny-dip in the stream
I was green before green was a thing

Yeah, I've got a hundred-acre farm
I've got a John Deere in my barn
I've got a garden in my yard, full of rutabagas, taters and greens
I've got a guitar I play unplugged
I've got a home-grown girl I love
And when the summer time hits, we skinny-dip in the stream
I was green before green was a thing
I was green before green was a thing

Oh yeah
