作词 : Hammond
Dear mama, well, here's a letter from your girl
Well, i think my city days are done, mom
And it ain't 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 ain't the same
(chorus)
I'm 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 don't complain
And, mama, so much perfume i thought i'd drown
And the lord didn't seem to be nowhere around
Hey, i felt just like a flower from the vine
(repeat chorus)
How i'd like to be home, mom
Where the blue grass is growin'
And the fire light shimmers and it shines
(repeat chorus)
