Honky Tonk Homework

Paroles

[Verse 1] You showed up late in a borrowed Ford With a pie from the grocery store Said, “I brought dessert and a little ambition” Then tripped on the welcome mat mid-sentence I laughed so hard I spilled my tea You said, “That’s one way to impress me” We locked the door, kicked off our shoes And found out love comes with funny news [Chorus] We got tangled up like Christmas lights Laughing through the wrong turns all night You lost your belt, I lost my plan We made a rodeo out of being a man No slow dance, no grand romance Just two grown folks taking a chance If passion’s a barn, we raised the roof And left muddy boots by the bedroom door [Verse 2] The cat stared in like a county judge The old bedframe gave a mighty shrug You whispered, “Baby, don’t make a sound” Then knocked a lamp and woke the whole town Your lucky buckle hit the floor And slid halfway under the dresser drawer We took a break for a snack and a grin Then found our second wind and dove back in [Chorus] We got tangled up like Christmas lights Laughing through the wrong turns all night You lost your belt, I lost my plan We made a rodeo out of being a man No slow dance, no grand romance Just two grown folks taking a chance If passion’s a barn, we raised the roof And left muddy boots by the bedroom door [Bridge] In the morning, coffee, biscuits, and regret You asked if I remembered where your jeans had went I said, “Check the porch, beside the garden hose” You said, “That’s the strangest place my trousers ever chose” [Final Chorus] We got tangled up like Christmas lights Still smiling in the morning light You found your belt, I found my shoe The neighbors found out more than they wanted to No slow dance, no grand romance Just a little luck and a lot of chance If passion’s a barn, we raised the roof And left muddy boots by the bedroom door [Outro] Next Friday night, come back around I’ll bolt that bedframe to the ground
