I loathe love songs, with a few exceptions. I\u2019m more interested in quirky ideas and odd perspectives. I suppose, \u201cShe Thinks My Tractor\u2019s Sexy\u201d is my ideal of a love song, or maybe \u201cLola.\u201d Who the hell likes both of those? Well, this one\u2019s all schmaltzy and innocent and young (I was only about 18 and naive as a newborn when I wrote it \u2013 one of those shy introspective kids who led a sheltered life but tried hard to be all cool and \u201cwith it\u201d but hadn\u2019t a clue what that was. As Ziggy once put it, \u201cEvery time I figure out where it\u2019s at, somebody moves it.\u201d Oh, and Judy? She was a real person, but after all these years I can\u2019t recall if I knew her or just saw her. Where did I encounter her? Did I ever told her about the song? All I have is an image of her face and nothing more, but I have no idea if that is how she actually looked or how she looks in my memory: just another one of those teenage crushes that all blend in together as an extended multi-year case of puppy love, the details lost in the mists of innocence. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read the story behind this song just below the lyrics.
