Watermelon Dream
Lyricist:Guy Clark
The sun was hot and the dust rose up like smoke So we hid beneath the elm tree and watched the watermelons float There in a big 'ol tub of ice And we'd split em open with a kitchen knife And everybody had a slice it was a watermelon dream
Ain't nothin' sweeter than a watermelon dream 'Cept sittin' on the front porch eatin' that peach ice cream When life is really sweeter than it seems That's what you've got to call a watermelon dream
With sticky hands and, and faces we fought the yellow jackets to a draw Then we used the rind for second base and played a little hard ball Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I don't know how much we ate, but we all got the belly ache And everybody stayed up wat too late, it was a watermelon dream
Ain't nothin' sweeter than a watermelon dream 'Cept sittin' on the front porch eatin' that peach ice cream When life is really sweeter than it seems That's what you've got to call a watermelon dream
Then a little after sundown we'd be runnin' out of steam So we'd light a roman candle and try to hold on tho the dream Maybe slip out behind a car, take a little tastes from a jar Then just lay back and count the stars, that's called a watermelon dream
