Cavalry Charge

Honeywine, you're a sight to see Auburn hair, running 'round bare feet Cheap sunglasses and your turquoise ring Wondering what you'd see in a guy like me Well, honeywine you're a sight to see Do you recall how you got that name? You drank that shit 'til 3am Sang John Prine songs, sang harmony Tonight you got the best of me Well, honeywine you're a sight to see 'Cause you're the sweetest thing that I've ever know When the beer runs out and the whiskey's gone Honeywine, you're all I need Well honeywine, you're all I need Honeywine, well I've got big plans To put some shoes on your feet, take the turquiose off your hand Trade it out for a diamond ring Here's a kiss under a cottonwood tree I get down on one knee Said "Honeywine, won't you marry me?
