“Love Tractor” is a Widespread Panic original.
‘Love Tractor,’ musically it's a lick that we used to jam around on... because it sounded so much like the Athens band Love Tractor. Who is a great band and we're all big fans... we were calling it ‘That Love Tractor Thing.’ [So] JB wrote a song about a guy who loves his tractor. Just loves riding around on his tractor!
