Hometown Honeymoon

Alabama · The Music Of Alabama [2009]

(Josh Leo - Jim Photoglo)



Hey baby, won't you take my hand

And make me a happy man

I ain't rich but I found my fortune in you

Two jobs on the nighttime shift

I'm still left with an empty fist

But my heart is full and my love is true

We can still get married in the style of our friends and family

Gather all of them to celebrate while we slip out quietly.



And have a hometown honeymoon

Wildflowers and love is in bloom

We'll have a hometown honeymoon just me and you

Hometown honeymoon

Get out of church and up to your room

We'll have a hoe-down afternoon

Dancing to the rhythm of love.



We can sing and laugh out loud

Lifestyles of the poor but proud

Cuddle up on the porch and enjoy the view

We can't afford Niagara Falls

But there's a fountain by the old town hall

We'll make a wish by the light of a lover's moon

I'll get my Grandma's wedding ring

And my brother's Chevrolet

We can stay at your mama's house;

We don't have to go away.



To have a hometown honeymoon

Wildflowers and love is in bloom

We'll have a hometown honeymoon

Dancing to the rhythm of love.



--- Instrumental ---



Your daddy's prize possession

I'll make a good impression

I'm gonna get his blessing

That's all we need.



Hometown honeymoon

Wildflowers and love is in bloom

We'll have a hometown honeymoon just me and you.



Hometown honeymoon

Get out of church and up to your room

We'll have a hoe-down afternoon

Dancing to the rhythm of love.



Hometown honeymoon.



Hometown honeymoon.



Hometown honeymoon.

Wildflowers and love is in bloom...
