Dear mama, well, heres a letter from your girl
Well, I think my city days are done, mom
And it aint been three weeks since I came
And mama, do remember what you said
Say your prayers before you go to bed, child
And remember city boys aint the same
(chorus)
Im like a john deere tractor
In a half acre field
Tryin to plow a furrow
Where the soil is made of steel
How I wish I was home, mom
Where the blue grass is growin
And the sweet country boys dont complain
And, mama, so much perfume I thought Id drown
And the lord didnt seem to be nowhere around
Hey, I felt just like a flower from the vine
(repeat chorus)
How Id like to be home, mom
Where the blue grass is growin
And the fire light shimmers and it shines
(repeat chorus)
