“Felicia” was the first single from McBride & the Ride’s debut album. It peaked at #74 in Canada but failed to chart in the United States. In it, the guy is sweet on a hard working country girl.
[Verse 1]
She's so country she's never been to town
Her hair is red and her eyes are brown
She sleeps all night, works all day
Slops the hogs and bales the hay
[Verse 2]
Calico kisses and homemade pies
White cotton socks hung out to dry
Chicken and a hound dog scratching out back
Fresh poke of greens in a gunny sack
[Chorus]
Felicia, Felicia
Way up in a holler, sweeter than a swaller
Of her daddy's Mountain Dew
[Verse 3]
Patches on her britches, dimple in her jaw
Prettiest thing you ever saw
Gets her honey from the bee
The water from the well
When the sun goes down you can hear me yell
[Chorus]
Felicia, Felicia
Way up in a holler, sweeter than a swaller
Of her daddy's Mountain Dew
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 4]
Hitch a mule, pitch a crop
Work them fields when the sun gets hot
She ain't got time to waste on me
But oh every time I see
[Chorus]
Felicia, Felicia
Way up in a holler, sweeter than a swaller
Of her daddy's Mountain Dew
[Tag]
Felicia, Felicia
Felicia, Felicia
