lyrics

Tractor Pull JByrd

She drove a Farmall from '56.
I’ve never seen one do that before.
She backed up to the sled and hitched,
put in her distance and a little bit more.

I met my baby at the tractor pull.
I met my baby at the tractor pull.
She dropped the hammer on my heart and soul.
I met my baby at the tractor pull.

I saw that woman and I lost a wheel,
going faster than I should have gone.
Now I'm older and I've got the feel.
I can pull steady all night long.

I met my baby at the tractor pull.
I met my baby at the tractor pull.
She dropped the hammer on my heart and soul.
I met my baby at the tractor pull.

McCormicks are Red. Ford's are blue.
She’ll make that old hoss run like new.

It ain't how fast. It's how far.
We got a love that's built to last.
Can't nobody compete with her.
She's the only model in her class.

I met my baby at the tractor pull.
I met my baby at the tractor pull.
She dropped the hammer on my heart and soul.
I met my baby at the tractor pull.
