Palmetto Peach
I wasn't looking for trouble

But trouble came looking for me

Just trying to find some shelter

When I found a palmetto tree

She said, "you're safe beneath my branches

Stay as long as you please

If you're weary from all your running

I have fruit that tastes like a peach"

She said, "I can be your giving tree

If your heart needs some therapy"

And though her branches were just out of reach
I'll never forget the day I met a palmetto peach

The day I met a palmetto peach

The wind it left me tired

The rain it left me cold

I asked her if it was normal

For a young man to feel this old

Smiling she said, "You'll be fine dear

You just need a hand to hold

I promise if you hang in there
You'll find someone with a heart of gold"

She said, "I can be your giving tree

If your heart needs some therapy"

And though her branches were just out of reach
I'll never forget the day I met a palmetto peach

The day I met a palmetto peach

She said, "I can be your giving tree
If your heart needs some therapy"

And though her branches were just out of reach
I'll never forget the day I met a palmetto peach

The day I met a palmetto peach
