[Verse 1]
Lookout!
People used to call me backwards
Living out here with the tractors
Letting this world leave me behind
Now-a-days I'm an innovator
I'm a country boy prognosticator
I'm a man ahead of my times

[Chorus]
I've got a hundred acre farm
I've got a John Deere in my barn
I've got a garden in my yard, full of corn, peas and beans
I've got a guitar I play unplugged
I've got a home-grown girl I love
And when the summer time hits, we skinny dip in the stream
I was green before green was a thing

[Verse 2]
Sheets on the clothes line drying
Red Tail hawks a flying
A couple of deer on the timber line
And I know a lot more about cane pole fishing
Then I ever will know about carbon emission
And my little corner of the world is doing just fine

[Chorus]
Yeah, I've got a hundred acre farm
I've got a john deer in my barn
I've got a garden in my yard, full of root baked potatoes and greens
I've got a guitar I play unplugged
I've got a home-grown girl I love
And when the summer time hits, we skinny dip in the stream
I was green before green was a thing
I was green before green was a thing

[Outro]
Oh yeah
