You write a verse.

Bill Dobkins · Post by **Bill Dobkins** » 7 Sep 2011 10:06 pm

I thought it would be fun to write what we all think would be the epetimy of a new country song a verse at a time.
Here is my verse:

Well its Saturday nite I got a hot date- My truck won't start and I can't be late- So I called her on the phone and ask her- would you like to take a ride on my big green tractor.

You can climb up in my lap and drive if you want to
Girl, you know you got me to hold on to
We can go to town, but baby if you'd rather
I'll take you for a ride on my big green tractor...

I'm gonna do some plowing tonight
I got my tractor tuned up just right.
I'm gonna shift that baby into low
And get myself ready to sow.

You can set on my lap and get a big thrill,
Cause every time I see you I get cold chill.
And maybe we'll kiss as we drive up the hill,
But if you won't do it, I know your sister will....JH in Va.

It's true you guys have a mind thats narrow
Even though you a mild as a sparrow
Didn't say I wanted to drive with you
Get off and I'll show you what I can do

Well, here's another factor
That didn't much attract her
When a big tree fell and whacked her
The heck right offa my tractor!

Well my old John Deere needs a new ignition
And my pickup broke down so I cain't go fishin'
But my buddies and me got plenty of brew
And all I need is this old farm and you

I'm not a Hollywood actor, but I hope this tractor will atract her.

Well she was sittin' in the seat real close to me ..

as luck would have it I dropped the key..

As I bent down to pick it up from the grass...

She fell off the the seat and landed on her Axx....

we couldn't use the tractor so we took my horse
road double into town but we strayed off course
we ended up in a bar drinkin shots and brew
if i hadn't married her i'd get stuck on you

My wife left me and my dog died.
My pickup's broke and so am I.
Can't get into town to get more booze.
But other than that..no bad news.

we was goin down a dirt road when the engine blow-ed
thats when she left with an old boy i know-ed
it was the end of the line, as i tried an' i tried
til' i watched 'em vamoose, then i cried an' i cried
she left me for good, when she left me alone
but the best thing she left was this sad country song
burma shave....

Reading all this reminds me of a song my Dad sang on the bandstand in the 1940's. It had several verses but it started like this:
She's got freckles on her but...she is nice
She's got freckles on her but...she is nice
She's got freckles on her cheeks,
on her knees and on her feet...
Oh, she's got freckles on her but...she is nice

Mickey Lawson · Post by **Mickey Lawson** » 9 Sep 2011 7:25 am

She stepped out of the pickup, with only a nightie on,
her hair was a sweaty mess, tangled, dirty and long.
The beer held in her right hand, she quickly guzzled, and spit out the foam.
Said, if anyone here wants a good time, just buy me some gas to get home.

Mickey, you and I live in two different worlds... (unfortunately)

She totaled our tractor of love
I curse her to heaven above
I'm sellin' the John Deer and openin' a cold beer
She totaled our tractor of love

Brandin · Post by **Brandin** » 9 Sep 2011 8:47 am

Okay, how about a chorus?

Andy Volk · Post by **Andy Volk** » 9 Sep 2011 9:10 am

Okay.

She totaled our tractor of love
I curse her to heaven above
I'm sellin' the John Deer and openin' a cold beer
She totaled our tractor of love

Why baby, why baby, why baby, why
The mortgage was paid and the levee was dry
You left me alone flickin' flies off my thigh
and wonderin', why baby why

The last verse:
Then I wake and look around me
At these wires and microphones that surround me
Then I realize that I was only dreamin’
Cause there’s and engineer and an un-autotuned vocal track
Twistin’ knobs he’ll fix the talent I lack
And again I’ll shot a video on my green green John Deer tractor back home.

Joe Casey · Post by **Joe Casey** » 19 Sep 2011 7:29 am

When she left she took my tractor,,She ran off with an actor,,,,Told me he could love her more than I... Turns out he was a bad actor,and he sold my old tractor, Losing that old Deere, makes me sad enough to cry...
