Verse 1:
You’re standin’ there talkin’, goin’ on and on,
About all the things I must’ve done wrong.
I’m noddin’ my head, pretendin’ to care,
But all I can think about’s the dirt out there.
I’d be out on that field, plowin’ up the ground,
If only that old tractor hadn’t let me down.

Chorus:
You make me wish the tractor wasn’t broke down,
I’d be out there workin’, pushin’ dust around.
I’d be plowin’ my frustrations, lettin’ off some steam,
But here I am listenin’, trapped in your dream.
If that engine was runnin’, you’d see me hit the road,
You make me wish that tractor wasn’t so darn old.

Verse 2:
You’re talkin’ ’bout feelings, and what I didn’t say,
And all I can do is wish I was miles away.
If I could fire up that John Deere, you wouldn’t see my face,
I’d be ridin’ off, findin’ my own quiet place.
But with the motor gone cold, I’m stuck here inside,
And all this small talk’s killin’ my pride.

Chorus:
You make me wish the tractor wasn’t broke down,
I’d be out there workin’, pushin’ dust around.
I’d be plowin’ my frustrations, lettin’ off some steam,
But here I am listenin’, trapped in your dream.
If that engine was runnin’, you’d see me hit the road,
You make me wish that tractor wasn’t so darn old.

Bridge:
Well, a good piece of machinery can ease a heavy load,
But when it’s sittin’ in the shed, I’m stuck on this road.
I’d rather face a rocky field than this kitchen talk,
Just let me hear that engine’s hum, and watch me walk.

Chorus:
You make me wish the tractor wasn’t broke down,
I’d be out there workin’, pushin’ dust around.
I’d be plowin’ my frustrations, lettin’ off some steam,
But here I am listenin’, trapped in your dream.
If that engine was runnin’, you’d see me hit the road,
You make me wish that tractor wasn’t so darn old.

Outro:
So fixin’ that ol’ John Deere’s now top of my list,
‘Cause these talks just make me wish it wasn’t missed.
If that engine could roar, I wouldnt be feeble,
You make me wish I could trade this chat for some diesel.
