Sweet Tea

If you find me sleepin'
In the shade dear
Will you promise to bring me
All your sweetness

All my plans are hangin'
In the palms dear
All my thoughts are lost
In Pawley's interest

Rock me gently
The waves are softly rollin'
Soft breezes blowin'
Through the screen dear

Pour me some of your
Old fashioned magic
I can hear you
Whispering in my ear

Don't try to
Offer me anything
What it comes, right
Down to baby

Don't tempt me
I'm where I wanna be
'Cause on the eighth day
God made sweet tea

Certain things in life
I like to savor
Watchin' clouds
And waitin' on the rain

If you ever
Question my behavior
Just a taste will make you
Feel the same now

Don't try to
Offer me anything
What it comes, right
Down to baby

Don't tempt me
I'm where I wanna be
'Cause on the eighth day
God made sweet tea

We've known each other
Goin' on thirty years
Seen a lot of joy
We've seen a lot of tears

Still I wouldn't change
A single thing that I did
'Cause we're here, yeah

Don't try to
Offer me anything
What it comes, right
Down to baby

Don't tempt me
I'm where I wanna be
'Cause on the eighth day
God made sweet tea

Don't tempt me
I'm where I wanna be
'Cause on the eighth day
God made sweet tea, yeah
