"She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" is an uptempo tune set in the key of B♭ major with a vocal range from B♭3 to F5.

The music video was directed by Martin Kahan, and premiered on CMT on October 14, 1999, during "The CMT Delivery Room". The video shows Chesney as a farmer riding on a John Deere tractor.

At the end of the video, Chesney and a woman are sitting on a water trough, splashing water with a cowboy hat.
