Watermelon Moonshine

(album: Bell Bottom Country - 2022)

It was right after senior year
Just before the summer disappeared
We went a-riding them old farm ruts
Hanging out on the gate of his truck
We threw a blanket 'neath the sunset
Being brave as eighteen gets
We gave each other more than our hearts
With the help of a mason jar

Drinking watermelon moonshine
Cut the burn with a little lime
Parking back in them kudzu vines
I was his and every bit of that boy was mine
Too young to know what love was
But we were learning on a sweet buzz
There's never nothing like the first time
And mine's always gonna taste like
Watermelon moonshine

I don't remember where we got it from
I just remember feeling all grown up
Taking pulls like it ain't no thing
Never told him it was my first drink
But I told him that he was the one
You're so sure when you're that young
You think you got it all figured out
And now I laugh when I think about

Drinking watermelon moonshine
Cut the burn with a little lime
Parking back in them kudzu vines
I was his and every bit of that boy was mine
Too young to know what love was
But we were learning on a sweet buzz
There's never nothing like the first time
And mine's always gonna taste like
Watermelon moonshine

I thought that high would last forever
But that ain't what it does
Maybe we were drunk in love
Or maybe we were just

Drinking watermelon moonshine
Cut the burn with a little lime
Parking back in them kudzu vines
I was his and every bit of that boy was mine
Too young to know what love was
But we were learning on a sweet buzz
There's never nothing like the first time
And mine's always gonna taste like
Watermelon moonshine
