[Verse 1]
Well, the sun was hot and the dust rose up like smoke
So we hid beneath the elm tree, watched the watermelons float
There in a big ol' tub of ice and we'd split 'em open with a kitchen knife
And everybody got a slice
It was a watermelon dream
[Chorus]
Ain't nothing 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
[Verse 2]
With sticky hands and faces, we fought the yellowjackets to a draw
Then we used the rind for second base and played a little hardball
And I don't know how much we ate but we all got the bellyache
And everybody stayed up way too late
It was a watermelon dream
[Chorus]
Ain't nothing 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, oh yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Oh, and then a little after sundown we'd be running out of steam
So we'd light a Roman candle up and try to hold on to the dream
Maybe slip out behind a car, take a little taste from a jar
And then just lay back and count the stars
That's called a watermelon dream
[Chorus]
Ain't nothing 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
Oh and there ain't nothing 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, oh yeah
