Lyric
Hey baby won’t you take my handAnd make me a happy manI ain’t rich but I found my fortune in youTwo jobs on the nighttime shiftI’m still left with an empty fistBut my heart is full and my love is trueWe can still get married in the style of our friends and familyGather all of them to celebrate while we slip out quietlyAnd have a hometown honeymoonWildflowers and love is in bloomWe’ll have a hometown honeymoon just me and youHometown honeymoonGet out of church and up to your roomWe’ll have a hoe-down afternoonDancing to the rhythm of loveWe can sing and laugh out loudLifestyles of the poor but proudCuddle up on the porch and enjoy the viewWe can’t afford Niagara FallsBut there’s a fountain by the old town hallWe’ll make a wish by the light of a lover’s moonI’ll get my Grandma’s wedding ring and my brother’s ChevroletWe can stay at your mama’s house; we don’t have to go awayTo have a hometown honeymoonWildflowers and love is in bloomWe’ll have a hometown honeymoonDancing to the rhythm of loveYour daddy’s prize possessionI’ll make a good impressionI’m gonna get his blessing that’s all we needHometown honeymoonWildflowers and love is in bloomWe’ll have a hometown honeymoon just me and youHometown honeymoonGet out of church and up to your roomWe’ll have a hoe-down afternoonDancing to the rhythm of loveHometown honeymoonHometown honeymoon
