Strawberry Queen

I never would’ve guessed it in a hundred years or more

I’d meet an lowland angel of the likes I’d never seen before

She grew up where the sun does run hot across the sky

Sweetened her up nice like some strawberry wine

I crowned her in my mind oh my Strawberry Queen

I ain’t cut out for royalty, never saw myself a king

No blue blood in these veins, just a mountain boy with dreams

But I got caught up in her love like a storm down in the Gulf

The high winds wreck my docks, the water rusts my logs

My wave breaks on the rocks for my Strawberry Queen

I ain’t the first to pledge my service to the crown

I know her subjects in the past have let her down

Treasonous fools never come around this town

Or I'd throw my fist and give 'em hell and stand my ground

For my Strawberry Queen, for my Strawberry Queen

I met her at a dance hall early one spring

Felt like Adam next to Eve staring at a fruit of God

So I wrapped a bow around my heart and placed it in a box of cherry wood

I asked her if she could take that box and do it good

She smiled and said she would, oh my Strawberry Queen

I ain’t the first to pledge my service to the crown

I know her subjects in the past have let her down

Treasonous fools never come around this town

Or I'd throw my fist and give 'em hell and stand my ground

For my Strawberry Queen, for my Strawberry Queen
