[VERSE 1]
There’s a hometown honey in a dress of blue
Molded to your body from your head to your shoes
Women are many but lovers are few
Well I could’ve been your lover too
[VERSE 2]
She’s sweet as the sound of an old fiddle tune
Willin’ as the sun in the month of June
Here I am staring like the unabashed moon
Well I could’ve been your lover too
[Chorus]
The fastest horse is already racing
The prettiest pie is already baking
A man in love ain’t mine for the taking
But if he comes my way lord I’m
Gonna shake him
[VERSE 3]
I’m chewin’ my lips and counting my steps
Imagining your weight upon my breast
Women are many but lovers are few
Well I could’ve been your lover too
[VERSE 4]
I’m watching your back for the hint of a sign
But you stand up straight and you hold the line
I never had the right to feel the way I do
But I could’ve been your lover too
[Chorus]
The fastest horse is already racing
The prettiest pie is already baking
A man in love ain’t mine for the taking
But if he comes my way lord I’m
Gonna shake him
[VERSE 1]
There’s a hometown honey in a dress of blue
Molded to your body from your head to your shoes
Women are many but lovers are few
Well I could’ve been your lover too
