lirik lagu guy clark – watermelon dream
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 sliece it was a watermelon dream
chorus
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
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
chorus
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
