Lyrics
"Honey's Auto Parts"
���© Copyright 2008
Cheryl Moon, Robert Victor
She'd say, "Hey baby, now if you pretty please
Look up this part number in the catalog for me
This man needs a bracket to mount his CB
And a 69 Camaro shift plate seal"
Now Honey was the bomb for fixin' cars and breakin' hearts
And I'd expressed an interest in learnin' 'bout her parts
She grinned and grabbed the catalog, said, "You could start with this.
But this is how you get me started" and she jumped me with a kiss
Chorus:
Now there's a Sonic Drive-In there where it used to sit
Sometimes driving by, why I pull in, to sit and reminisce
About that long-ago summer when I lost my heart
To the girl who kissed me at Honey's Auto Parts
I learned each part number of every part on every page
Worked all the time, never took no pay
But I learned my mechanics just to be by her side
And when she got off early, Honey'd take me for a ride
(Chorus)
Bridge:
When I'd walk in that door, a little bell would ring
To me she was an angel, but I'm the one, who got the wings
'Cause I had to head for college when September rolled around
And I was sittin' lookin' backwards as the train pulled out of town
Well I took my books and my guitar but left behind my heart
With the girl who kissed me at Honey's Auto Parts
(Chorus modified)
And there's a Sonic Drive-In there, where it used to sit
Sometimes I pull in and order up some take-out reminisce
Of that long-ago summer when I lost my heart
To the girl who kissed me at Honey's Auto Parts
Yeah I wonder if she missed me, at Honey's, at Honey's Auto Parts
Sure I loved that girl who kissed me at Honey's
At Honey's - Auto Parts
