Artist's Notes

The idea behind this song is that you have a city slicker young guy who's in love with a girl called Melanie. The only problem is that she like farmers and is dating Mister Young Farmer of the Year, and he owns his own tractor.

Now, Mister City Slicker thinks if only he could get hold of a tractor he might be able to win Melanie's heart. And luckily he has a granddad who is a farmer ....

Lyrics

I Don't Have A Tractor

(Verse 1)

'I really wish I had a Massey Ferguson'

Are words I never thought I would say

A John Deere would do, I guess too,

But I could do with one today

        Cos I don't have a tractor

        With which to impress her

(Chorus)

No, I don't have a tractor

And I know that's a factor

Why I'm locked out of Melanie's heart.

She loves Garth Brooks and the country life

One day she wants to be a farmer's wife

 

(Verse 2)

She's dating Mister Young Farmer of the year

And that farm boy has one advantage on me

He has a New Holland with a big muckspreader

And every rural lass'll tell you that there's nothing better

        But I don't have a tractor

        With which to impress her

(Chorus)

No, I don't have a tractor

And I know that's a factor

Why I'm locked out of Melanie's heart.

She loves Garth Brooks and the country life

One day she wants to be a farmer's wife

(Spoken)

But what her guy doesn't know is...

 

(Bridge)

My granddaddy owned a little farm

In the back end of nowhere

Where life's a little slower

And everyone knows ya

And would lend a guy a tractor if he really needs one

(Chorus ? alternative)

So I'm driving a tractor (Yeehaw!)

Sent by Granddaddy's neighbor

Swears it will unlock my Melanie?s heart.

I'm singing Friends in low places

Wearing cowboy boots, no laces

A city boy's never looked more the part

(Chorus)

Yeah, I'm driving a tractor

Through the city streets and hell yeah

The girls are all lining up to look

Guess they all love Garth Brooks and the country life

One day they want to be a farmer's wife

(Outro)

Hey Melanie

There's room enough up here with me

Yeah, jump up here with me

I?m driving a tractor

Yeah, I?m driving a tractor
