Hummingbird Woman

It'd be a bluegrass back porch kind of romance A honeysuckle and barefoot slow dance We'd throw out the clocks and let it go And just keep time with the banjo And be best friends who love to hold hands I'm a hummingbird woman One petal to the next You're the greenest garden And a safe place to rest So when you think of Appalachia, please think of me too And when I make it home, we'll pray for rain, and hope it takes root No makeup or airs put on Scrubbing the dishes and humming a song We'd sleep with the doors wide open Cause what we'd have couldn't be stolen Sure as the dew that laces the field at dawn I'm a hummingbird woman One petal to the next You're the greenest garden And a safe place to rest So when you think of Appalachia please think of me too You're an Eagle Scout through and through My heart would be the badge that you Wore proudly everywhere you'd go No photos on the internet But a polaroid edges worn and bent From how often you got it out to show But I'm a hummingbird woman I'm always on the go I'm a hummingbird woman I never take it slow I'm a hummingbird woman But your roots are starting to grow on me Let 'em grow on me Let 'em grow on me
