Story Behind The Song
The song was written for the singer (Daniel Richard) who is a real life bull dozer operator. He couldn't see the heart break coming, even if it was the size of his bull dozer! So the song is a little mockery of the situation I saw coming like a train! (love is blind)

A "straight ahead, country, somebody done somebody wrong song" but with a humorous twist. If you're gonna do me wrong, then do it big! And Do it Right!" Use a tractor to bury my heart girl!

Lyrics
Bull Doze My Heart
BULL DOZE MY HEART
TREAT ME LIKE DIRT
IF YOU'RE GONNA RUN ME INTO THE GROUND
IT'S A LOTTA WORK
YOU'LL NEED A BIG MACHINE
SO TAKE MY TRACTOR KEY
BACK IT UP AND DIG A HOLE IN THE GROUND
SO YOU CAN BURY ME
A SIGN SHOULD SAY
"CAUTION UNDER DISTRUCTION ...
WOMAN AT WORK ...
HARD HAT REQUIRED"
YOU'RE DOIN' THE WORK OF 3 MEN
WHILE THEY'RE ALL ASLEEP AND DREAMIN'
YOU'RE BUSY / DOZIN' ON THE JOB
BULL DOZE MY HEART
TREAT ME LIKE DIRT
IF YOU'RE GONNA RUN ME INTO THE GROUND
IT'S A LOTTA WORK
YOU'LL NEED A BIG MACHINE
SO TAKE MY TRACTOR KEY
CRANK IT UP AND DIG A HOLE IN THE GROUND
SO YOU CAN BURY ME
AT FIRST WE HAD LOADS
OF LOVE AND LAUGHTER
YOU LIKED ME
AND YOU SURE LOVED MY TRACTOR
BUT YOU WROTE ME OFF
WITH A DEAR JOHN LETTER
SO FINISH THE JOB WITH
A JOHN DEERE TRACTOR
AND GO / DOZIN' ON THE JOB
