Friends with Tractors Lyrics

I sat beside a man from Hollywood, California on a plane
He said he had rich and famous friends, yeah he liked dropping names
I said, "Well, howdy do, that's good for you, I dig a lot of those actors
But son you ain't got a thing on me, see I got friends with tractors"
They'll grow your groceries, haul a load
Pull you out and fix the road
They're good at slowing speeders down
When they pass through from out of town

I'll live out in the country happily ever after
I got everything I need cause I got friends with tractors

On Friday night we hit the woods, go bogging in our trucks
It's just about a guarantee some good old boy gets stuck
Where I come from, you can bet your butt a mud hole ain't a factor
I'll sink mine to the floorboards' cause I got friends with tractors
And they'll grow your groceries, haul a load
Pull you out and fix the road
They're good at slowing speeders down
When they pass through from out of town

I'll live out in the country happily ever after
I got everything I need cause I got friends with tractors

I've been to fancy five star restaurants
And I left there barely filled
They charged me for the water, the butter and the bread
That gourmet meal looked more to me like fish bait on a cracker
But I'll stay fat and happy cause I got friends with tractors
And they'll grow your groceries, haul a load
Pull you out and fix the road
They're good at slowing speeders down
When they pass through from out of town

I'll live out in the country happily ever after
I got everything I need cause I got friends with tractors
I'll live out in the country happily ever after
I got everything I need cause I got friends with tractors

Yeah man, talking about Internationals
John Deeres, Massey Fergusons
Whatever you got, we don't discriminate
Front end loaders, bush hogs, post hole diggers
Need them, got to have them

I believe I do know one actor
Is Larry the cable guy an actor?
Oh well, he's got a tractor
