Lyrics

HE DIDN?T KNOW HIS BRIDE GOT LONELY
HE JUST LOVED TO WORK HIS FIELDS
HE EVEN KEPT THE TRACTOR RUNNIN?
WHEN SHE BROUGHT HIS MEALS
BUT HIS LUNCH ROUTINE GOT SCRAMBLED
ON THE DAY SHE STAYED IN BED
WHEN HE BLURTED OUT, YOU DON?T LOOK SICK
SHE GRINNED AT HIM AND SAID

SEND A DEAR JOHN TO JOHN DEERE
MAKE IT SHORT AND SWEET, CRYSTAL CLEAR
THAT THERE?S SOMEONE ELSE,
WHO?S WAITING HERE
SEND A DEAR JOHN TO JOHN DEERE

THEIR YOUNGEST DAUGHTER?S BIRTHDAY
FEATURED SUGAR & CAFFEINE
TWENTY SQUEALIN? CHILDREN
AND A TRAMPOLINE
PRETTY SOON HE GOT TO MUMBLIN?
?BOUT A FIELD THAT SHOULD BE MOWED
SHE SMILED AND SAID, OH NO YOU DON?T
YOU?RE NEEDED HERE AT HOME

SEND A DEAR JOHN TO JOHN DEERE
MAKE IT SHORT AND SWEET, CRYSTAL CLEAR
THAT THERE?S KIDS INVOLVED,
AND IT?S JUST NOT FAIR
SEND A DEAR JOHN TO JOHN DEERE

AND WHEN FIFTY SUMMERS TURNED TO FALL
THEIR FAMILY FILLED THE LEGION HALL
HE NEARLY FELL OUT OF HIS CHAIR THAT NIGHT
ALL BECAUSE SHE READ HIM SOMETHING
HE NEVER DREAMED SHE?D WRITE

IT WAS A DEAR JOHN TO JOHN DEERE
IT WAS SHORT AND SWEET, CRYSTAL CLEAR
SHE WAS SAYING THANKS, FOR BEING HERE
AND HELPING ALL THESE YEARS
AND SINCE IT HELPED HER MAN BE NEAR
SHE JUST THOUGHT SHE?D WRITE JOHN DEERE
ONE MORE DEAR JOHN
