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 ....
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
