What is a Big Green Tractor?

Throughout the music industry there has been a big controversy of what is a Big Green Tractor and is it a sexual reference in the Song "Big Green Tractor" by Jason Aldean.

Cant stop Believing- Journey

Just a quick analysis of  certain snippets from the classic Can't Stop Believing by Journey




Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere


Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Growing up we learn about the " American Dream," and this song is all about it.  With a girl living in a small town and a boy be raised in the big city with probably rater contrasting lifestyles they meet on a train in downtown Detroit.  With the boy getting on a train not knowing where he was going to go is like not knowing where he's going to go throughout his life and is still in search.  as the song go on it talks about working hard to achieve his particular "American Dream and how he can't lose faith and stop believing of whats about to come into his life.
