Lyrics

HONEYDEW
(C) 2009 Dennis Long
He was hard and cold as a barbed wire fence
He'd been a few miles and he's got a few dents
Living a life from a Waylon Jennings song

She was young and wild and fresh out of school
He always said, "Mama didn't raise no fools"
But she wasted no time at all trying to prove him wrong

CHORUS:
She was cool and sweet as a honeydew
And his common sense went to Timbuktu
She took him for a ride
She even let him drive
She was cool and sweet as a honeydew

We were playing some pool with a few of our friends
He said. "Hold my cue - look what just walked in"
A vision in white wearing boots and a heart tattoo

Money and promises flowed like champagne
He really believed he was driving that train
They rode off into the night like lovers do

CHORUS:
She was cool and sweet as a honeydew
And his common sense went to Timbuktu
She took him for a ride
She even let him drive
She was cool and sweet as a honeydew

He got them a room at the No-Tell Inn
Something in his drink made that whole room spin
To figure out what came next didn't take much skill

When the maid came around the next afternoon
He was tied up, down to his Fruit-of-the-Loom's
All that cowgirl left him was the motel bill

CHORUS:
She was cool and sweet as a honeydew
And his common sense went to Timbuktu
She took him for a ride
She even let him drive
She was cool and sweet as a honeydew

Looking back now we have a good laugh
He got back his clothes and most of his cash
And that girl got busted when his car broke down

CHORUS:
She was cool and sweet as a honeydew
And his common sense went to Timbuktu
She took him for a ride
She even let him drive
She was cool and sweet as a honeydew
