Sweet Tea for Brett

I got a girl, she’s sweet as can be

Hot summer day she’s making me sweet tea

I got a thirst as big as the sun

She come around and I know she’s the one

There’s a hound dog barking on the side of the hill

If I don’t go now, guess I never will

Old Gus Jones got a railroad hat

Broke both his ankles now he’s feeling fat

And Mother McCree’s in the county jail

Can’t make love when she’s making bail

There’s a rooster crowing on the side of the hill, If I don’t go now …

Had me a man with a fiddle and bow

Paid my dollar said play it slow

He laid it on me like a freight train running

Played so nice, never saw it coming

There’s a sweet song playing on the side of the hill, If I don’t go now …

I’m stuck up here in the cold hard city

Concrete walls but the girls are pretty

Hey Bartender bring another round

Been too long I’ve been stuck in this town

There’s a lonely moon rising on the side of the hill, If I don’t go now…

Well its been too long, gotta hit this road

Thumb on home cause the car been towed

And the cops keep askin’ bout my long term plans

Said I’ll be sippin’ my sweet tea in the promised land

There’s a bonfire burning on the side of the hill, And if I don’t go now…

Well I Know he’s coming most any old day

That sun keep shining, gonna make some hay

I know that man, he’s sweet as can be

Sun comes up, gonna make us some sweet tea

There’s a swing band playing, on the side of the hill,

and if I don’t go now, guess I never will
