Watermelon Dream 
Guy Clark 

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
