Rhubarb
Well I'm goin' up on the mountain to see my ma and pa
It's been a damn long ride back from south Kanawha
I smell mamas biscuits and I see buckwheat fields layin' over Colebank
Like hundred dollar bills
Well the hogs are lookin' fat and the wheat's lookin' tall
It's gettin' near September the leaves are bout to fall
Reminds me of a lady I loved in Bruceton Mills
But she went back to Oakland so I'm headed for Snake Hill
Well the box is locked up tight as I'm headed home tonight
The road she bends and spells out my name
I'm takin' off in flight like a June- bug on the breeze
To a girl as sweet as rhubarb and a place as tall as trees
The Cheat she's lookin' mighty and she's singin' like a bird
She follows every turn but she never says a word
The Walmart's gettin' jammed tonight's a football game lord
Them Friday lights seem a million years away
But tonight I'm off to Jack's with a redhead named Nicole
And she never shows her age and I never ask to know
Well the box is locked up tight as I'm headed home tonight
The road she bends and spells out my name
I'm takin' off in flight like a June- bug on the breeze
To a girl as sweet as rhubarb and a place as tall as trees
Nothin' tastes as sweet as the mornin' on the breeze
Comin' down the mountain headin' straight for me
Well you never love a girl as much as the night you take her home
And you never want her gone as bad as when the mornin' comes
I'm sorry to my mama for bein' the reckless kind
Thank you to the jukebox for keepin' me in time
Thank you to the lady for treatin' me so fine
Goodbye to my hometown I'll see you down the line
Well the box is locked up tight as I'm headed home tonight
The road she bends and spells out my name
I'm takin' off in flight like a June- bug on the breeze
From a girl as sweet as rhubarb and a place as tall as trees
It's been a damn long ride back from south Kanawha
I smell mamas biscuits and I see buckwheat fields layin' over Colebank
Like hundred dollar bills
Well the hogs are lookin' fat and the wheat's lookin' tall
It's gettin' near September the leaves are bout to fall
Reminds me of a lady I loved in Bruceton Mills
But she went back to Oakland so I'm headed for Snake Hill
Well the box is locked up tight as I'm headed home tonight
The road she bends and spells out my name
I'm takin' off in flight like a June- bug on the breeze
To a girl as sweet as rhubarb and a place as tall as trees
The Cheat she's lookin' mighty and she's singin' like a bird
She follows every turn but she never says a word
The Walmart's gettin' jammed tonight's a football game lord
Them Friday lights seem a million years away
But tonight I'm off to Jack's with a redhead named Nicole
And she never shows her age and I never ask to know
Well the box is locked up tight as I'm headed home tonight
The road she bends and spells out my name
I'm takin' off in flight like a June- bug on the breeze
To a girl as sweet as rhubarb and a place as tall as trees
Nothin' tastes as sweet as the mornin' on the breeze
Comin' down the mountain headin' straight for me
Well you never love a girl as much as the night you take her home
And you never want her gone as bad as when the mornin' comes

Goodbye to my hometown I'll see you down the line
Well the box is locked up tight as I'm headed home tonight
The road she bends and spells out my name
I'm takin' off in flight like a June- bug on the breeze
From a girl as sweet as rhubarb and a place as tall as trees
