Mm-mm Yeah Sweet and tart, baby Mm Life with you Is like drinking lemonade Layers of sweet Followed by tart bits And sips with pits We always come out Cooled after the heat The sweet and the tart Layer from the start And rock and roll... In your country charms So hayseed? What say you we start this shindig? Dance it up with a bit of lemon tart? Do you prefer tea or coffee for Your afternoon repast? And is it all savory? Or do you want sweet? To possibly unseat this firm belief I am a better rider than you... you.. You had it in your mind... I was a city girl Who just liked your hat As you admired my pearls You thought I’d smile pretty And stay clean from the dust But I’ve got country in me Under glamour and blush But let me quick disabuse that I am at the edge of country And can wander within Whenever I have that whim I can step in the stirrup I can step in the bar I can talk with the farmers Then still shine like a star So don’t you box me in, love I’ve got city and grit Sweet as tea when I want to be With a little wild in it Sweet and tart [sweet and tart] Boots and heart [boots and heart] I can ride with the second best And I know I took the test And I don’t stick like glue To a horse But on the ground I am the boss And the critters Are all charmed A bit Snow White here Mm, they know me I can toss a rope I can feed Stack hay Clean the gear Pick poop Soak pulp Wrap boots Vaccinate Done it all Deworm Low bar Just the same So hayburners Just sayin’ I know the game I know the sweat I know the flies I know long days And tired eyes Know leather tack And dusty reins How love gets built In work and strain So when you grin And call me pretty Don’t forget I can get down gritty Pearls and polish Sure, that’s true But I can handle barnwork Same as you But let me quick disabuse that I am at the edge of country And can wander within Whenever I have that whim I can step in the stirrup I can step in the bar I can talk with the farmers Then still shine like a star So don’t you box me in, love I’ve got city and grit Sweet as tea when I want to be With a little wild in it You’re the lemonade summer I’m the kick in the glass You’re the slow southern drawl I’m the lightning that cracks You like my pearls I like your hat But we’re more than that Oh, we’re more than that You bring the country charm I bring the spark to match And somewhere in the middle Is the fire we catch So... You still think I’m just a city girl? ha ha! Bless your heart Let me quick disabuse that I am at the edge of country And can wander within Whenever I have that whim I can ride through the daylight I can dance through the dark I can handle the muscle And still speak from the heart So don’t you box me in, love I’m both satin and grit Sweet as tea when I want to be With a little wild in it Life with you Is like drinking lemonade Sweet and tart And made for hot days Mm Country charms Sweet and tart Mm Country charms Mm Country charms Mm Country charms
