" "

I don't want your pork chops
I don't want your turnip greens
I think that I'll pass up the cornbread
'Cause a piece of watermelon is what I need
And it's so strong 'cause it's been so long
Since I've tasted that dear forbidden fruit
And my heart sighs as I realize
That that watermelon time is a-gettin' due
And I'm a watermelon man

Following the stars through the honky-tonks and bars
Dream away on a country music pride Start the evenin' by myself You can bet by the hour of twelve Gonna have a pretty painted lady by my side Talkin' about a pretty pained lady by my side <p>Painted lady, tell me of the past gone by Hold me like the open range and ride me high Listenin' to the days when your dress was made of calico or gingham And a man was a man<p>I can feel the pain, I can see the fears On the painted cheeks that hide the tears Of a lovely, lonesome cowgirl in disguise
