(Verse 1)
I’m ridin’ that old tractor, cuttin’ grass beneath the sun,
July’s burnin’ hot, but my work ain’t never done.
Got a cold drink in my hand, dust swirlin’ in the air,
Mowin’ lines across this yard, got no worries, not a care.
(Chorus)
I’m mowin’ and dreamin’ in the July sun’s blaze,
On my rattlin’ old orange tractor, through these long, hot days.
Then she walks out in that sundress, like an angel in the light,
And my heart starts to ramblin’, lost in love at first sight.
(Verse 2)
She’s tendin’ to her pumpkins, in the heat of noonday’s glare,
That sundress sways like heaven, and I can’t help but stare.
I was lost in her beauty, forgot the row I mowed,
Crashed into that old apple tree, spilled my drink and cursed out loud.
(Chorus)
I’m mowin’ and dreamin’ in the July sun’s blaze,
On my rattlin’ old orange tractor, through these long, hot days.
She’s a fire in my soul, like a spark in dry grass,
And I’m caught up in her glow, prayin’ this love will last.
(Bridge)
Old Hank’d sing of heartache, say, “Boy, you best beware,
A woman like that’ll break you, leave you lonesome in despair.”
But I climbed back on my tractor, with her smile burned in my mind,
I’ll keep mowin’ through this summer, hopin’ her heart I’ll find.
(Verse 3)
The yard’s a little crooked, that apple tree’s got a scar,
But my heart’s still ridin’ high, chasin’ her from afar.
I’ll keep cuttin’ through the dust, with a hope that won’t fade,
Dreamin’ she’ll come walkin’ back, through the rows that I’ve made.
(Chorus)
I’m mowin’ and dreamin’ in the July sun’s blaze,
On my rattlin’ old orange tractor, through these long, hot days.
She’s the rhythm in my engine, the beat in my soul’s song,
And I’ll ride this lonesome trail till her love comes along.
(Outro)
Here’s to July’s hot sun, my tractor, and her grace,
A workin’ man’s in trouble, but I’m happy in this chase.
With sweat upon my brow, and her face in every star,
I’m mowin’ and dreamin’, till she’s mine, wherever we are.
