Half-Priced Watermelons

[Verse 1] Sticky flip-flops Parking lot heat waves Shopping carts crooked In the same old lanes Handwritten sign Red paint dripping “Half-priced watermelons” And my heart starts skipping [Chorus] Half-priced watermelons Piled to the sky You said “Pick the heaviest” I said “You’re so wise” Juice on your fingers Seeds in your hair Buying half-priced watermelons Like we’re billionaires (oh yeah) [Verse 2] You thump three times Put your ear to the rind Say “This one’s singing Wanna make it mine?” We’re laughing loud At the checkout line Cashier rolls her eyes Says “Must be summertime” [Chorus] Half-priced watermelons Piled to the sky You said “Pick the heaviest” I said “You’re so wise” Juice on your fingers Seeds in your hair Buying half-priced watermelons Like we’re billionaires (hey!) [Bridge] One for the cookout One for the ride One for that maybe We’ll never slice If love’s a bargain I’ll stand in this aisle All afternoon Just watching you smile [Chorus] Half-priced watermelons Piled to the sky You said “Pick the heaviest” I said “You’re so wise” Juice on your fingers Seeds in your hair Buying half-priced watermelons Like we’re billionaires (ohhh yeah) [Outro] Cart squeaks slowly Sun sinks low We’re rolling home With a ruby glow
