Hershey

am/fm dreams

looking through the backwoods
I heard that motor start
I knew that you were leaving but I knew not very far
coming up the driveway I knew it was my chance
running through the backwoods
we’ll meet by happenstance

looking at my kingdom which I’ve know from the start
it ain’t the horse’s stables
that ain’t my favorite part
it ain’t the ducks or duckpond
it ain’t the pony’s cart
the lady in the backwoods has stole my puppy heart

Heard she’s coming today
her daughter says by 3
all the boys better stay away
Hershey said she’s mine and mine only
Yes in his mind she’s mine and mine only
in Hershey’s mind she’s mine and mine only

walking through the hawkweed
I’ll let you catch your breath
I know we haven’t gone to far
got a lot of going let
running through the sod farm I fell into a trench
but my lovely lady saved me from certain death

looking through the backwoods
I loved you from the start
his goofy grin, his white haired chin
it stole my lonely heart
sometimes when I’m sitting at home and on the porch
I see that tail a waggin’ through the backwoods to our yard
