Flatland Cavalry - Honeywine
—
Genius
"Honeywine" stems from a late night of drinking...
[Verse 1]
Baby, pass the honey wine
That cowboy hat fits you awful nice
With every drink, I'm scooting closer to your side
Since when am I the one to make all the moves?
With you, I feel like I can break all the rules
Oh, how lucky am I to be sitting with you?
[Chorus]
And I drive every night into the Western sky
With the sun bright in my eyes for you to
Take my heart, waste my gas, and take my time
How lucky am I?
How lucky am I?
[Verse 2]
We just lay here and listen to the rain
Saying "I love you" is all I want to say
Oh, how lucky am I for you to feel the same?
I'll tell you the reasons why the time was right
When you came around, no, I couldn't fight it
Hell, I didn't even wanna try
Your heart is everything mine lacks
I like it when you laugh with everything you have
Oh, how lucky am I to have a better half?
[Chorus]
Yeah, I drive every night into the Western sky
With the sun bright in my eyes for you to
Take my heart, waste my gas, and take my time
How lucky am I?
How lucky am I?
[Bridge]
Sometimes you'll be miles away
But I can tell myself, hey, that's okay
'Cause you'll be back around soon just one more day
'Cause when you know you know, yeah, you can't deny
I hope forever that you'll be mine
'Cause you're the one I want, I'll sing it one more time
[Chorus]
Yeah, I drive every night into the Western sky
With the sun bright in my eyes for you to
Take my heart, waste my gas, and take my time
How lucky am I?
How lucky am I?
How lucky am I?
How lucky am I?
