Jason Aldean's "Big Green Tractor" isn't the only tractor song to have hit it big. Indeed, country songs about the sluggish, but rather useful, piece of farming gear have proliferated over the years. With tunes like these, it's no surprise why.

How do you know when your love is true? A sure-fire sign is when the girl does a wheelie on a tractor.
Tractor Song Lyrics:
"When I saw her do a wheelie on a John Deere tractor, I knew right then that I had to have her."

Riding tractors is romantic. It just takes a while to convince your girlfriend.
Tractor Song Lyrics:
"She said there's gotta be more to life, I don't wanna be some farmer's wife. Don't want a John Doe on a John Deere."
8. "Things I Miss The Most" - Van Zant

Make a list of things that make you nostalgic for home. You're sure to find mom, dad, grandma. Now cross them all out. What's left? Tractors.
Tractor Song Lyrics:
"People always ask me after every show, of all the places that you've ever been, what's your favorite place to go. It's that last half mile of dirt road, and that oak tree on the hill, to those dogs out barkin' in the yard... and that tractor in the field."
7. "John Deere Green" - Joe Diffie

There's no better way to express your love than by writing it in the long-lasting color of your favorite brand of tractor. But you already knew that.
Tractor Song Lyrics:
"And the whole town said the boy should have used red. But it looked good to Charlene... in John Deere Green."
6. "International Harvester" - Craig Morgan

John Deere isn't the only name in the tractor game. Craig Morgan gives International Harvester a namecheck in this song that extols the virtues of off-brand country living.
Tractor Song Lyrics:
"This big-wheeled wide load ain't goin' any faster. So just smile and wave and tip your hat, to the man up on the tractor."
5. "I Want My Tractor Back" - Lianna Rose

Tractor love isn't solely a male affair. Lianna Rose proves it with this upbeat song about a woman who takes her ex-husband's dearest possession, his tractor. By song's end, the rascal swipes it back.
Tractor Song Lyrics:
"You can take the chooks. You can take the fat cat. You can take the dog. I don't give a rat's -- I want my tractor back!"
4. "Friends with Tractors" - Rodney Atkins

Who needs the bright lights of Hollywood -- or the pleasures of fine dining -- when you have down-to-earth friends who don't mind driving through life at under 20 mph? Not Rodney Atkins.
Tractor Song Lyrics:
"They’ll grow your groceries, haul a load. Pull you out then fix the road."
3. "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" - Kenny Chesney

Ditch that Jaguar, get a John Deere. As Kenny Chesney affirms, women like a man who knows how to plow.
Tractor Song Lyrics:
"She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land. She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan. She's the only one who really understands what gets me: she thinks my tractor's sexy!"
2. "A Man on a Tractor" - Rodney Atkins

Atkins proves that tractors are, among other things, a sure cure for a midlife crisis.
Tractor Song Lyrics:
"Oh what I wouldn’t give, if I could just live, like a man on a tractor, with a dog in a field."
1. "Big Green Tractor" - Jason Aldean

The truest way into a woman's heart is through farm machinery, as Jason Aldean tells it. Next time you want to impress someone, ask them if they'd like to see your tractor. Surprisingly effective.
Tractor Song Lyrics:
"And I can take you for a ride on my big green tractor. We can go slow or make it go faster. Down through the woods and out to the pasture. 'Long as I'm with you it really don't matter."
