I've been swinging this hammer in the freezing, driving rain Another two month she's gonna be mine to claim I've been saving every penny, every dollar I make Come on father-time for July's sake I can make her mine If I can make 'til summertime Yeah, she's my barefoot sweet kiss on the river Taking in that big moon, counting them stars together Let the love flow like that muddy water Can't you smell that honeysuckle vine I can make her mine If I can make it 'til summertime I got a spot picked out for a blanket 'neath a Georgia pine I know if I can get her there, she's gonna have her lips on mine The only cold 'round here's in a bucket of ice A little muscadine wine, she won't think twice I can make her mine If I can make it 'til summertime She's my barefoot sweet kiss on the river Taking in that big moon, counting them stars together Let the love flow like that muddy water Can't you smell that honeysuckle vine I can make her mine If I can make it 'til summertime Sunshine blue skies, that's her kinda weather Don't I wish it'd stay like this forever She's my barefoot sweet kiss on the river Taking in that big moon, counting them stars together Let the love flow like that muddy water Can't you smell that honeysuckle vine Yeah, I can make her mine If I can make it 'til summertime Yeah, I can make her mine If I can make it 'til summertime
