Warm and Neighborly Woman

We met at the Farmer’s Market, she was sellin’ sweet corn by the pound
 And I was quite surprised by her sincere smile I accidentally found
 Her lips were like apples from trees I’d pick from when I was young
 I just could not believe my eyes, she was a love song yet to be sung

 She was a warm and neighborly woman who lived outside of my town
 I guess she hadn’t found a cowboy who was willing to settle down
 And I don’t know how I found the courage to ask her out on a date
 She said she’d love to as long as we weren’t out too late

 So after the Farmer’s Market closed down we went to a local bar
 She had on jeans and a gingham blouse & looked like a Country star
 Her eyes were kind as she looked at me, she was funny and wise
 As she shared a little about her lifestyle and her problems with guys

 She was a warm and neighborly woman who didn’t want to be alone
 I guess nobody found in her what I did, yet she was not unknown
 I asked her if I could get her number and she wrote it on my hand
 And we talked for an hour as we listened to a lively Bluegrass band

 I called her the next mornin’ she just got in from feedin’ her hogs
 She told me to call her later, she was just about to bathe her dogs
 So I waited a couple hours and she said yes to going out that night
 She let me know she was famished and would love to go have a bite

 She was a warm and neighborly woman but she also had a wild side
 Once she got to drinkin’ and dancin’ man she was like a carnival ride
 I asked her if she’d consider bein’ my girlfriend and she said, “Okay!”
 And we’ve been together ever since that Summer Farmer’s Market day

 Oh, we’ve been together ever since that Summer Farmer’s Market day.
