Sweetheart
Henning Stærk
[Verse 1]
I met her in a truck stop in some little Texas town
she just looked up from the counter, surprised that anyone would come around
just another boring day out on the interstate highway
[Verse 2]
She said: Hey you guys where are you heading to
I mean where ever you're heading try some of my Mexican stew
I said: I guess we'll take anything as long as it's served by you
[Chorus]
She was a sweetheart if there ever was one
she was a sweetheart but we were havin' all the fun
[Verse 3]
I said: if you have the time come and keep us company
she said: Time is the one thing that always comes plenty to me
by the way are you on your own, did you leave someone like someone just left me
[Chorus]
She was a sweetheart if there ever was one
she was a sweetheart but we were havin' all the fun
[Verse 4]
Saturday nights she spent all her time 'round the wishing well
drinkin' beer throwing coins and curses on almost anything
but there is one thing I could tell, one night she went to the well, collected
the coins and drank up everybody's dreams
[Verse 5]
She said: I was married twice but we blew it all up
now I'm hanging around with the last single man in this town
and if anything is happening anywhere he and I, we'll be the ones to care
[Outro]
She was a sweetheart if there ever was one
she was a sweetheart if there ever was one
She was a sweetheart if there ever was one
she was a sweetheart if there ever was one
