Lyrics

Cherry O

Lady reached out to me
Like a river to the ocean and honey to the bee
She took my heart when she took my hand
Made life so easy to understand
We met down at a high school dance
They were playin' a song about summer romance
I never thought I'd find such a golden girl
'Cause it's hard to find a diamond in a rhinestone world

Oh Cherry O
When the moonlight falls and the sun sinks low
We gotta go where the wild winds blow
Oh Cherry O

She worked down at the five and dime
On the main street square, south beach side
I'd hang around 'till she got out
And we'd hit the roadhouse in Bakerstown
In a seaside bar on the fourth of July
We drank the wine 'till the well went dry
A bonfire burned while the guitars played
And we sang all of our troubles away

Oh Cherry O
When the moonlight falls and the sun sinks low
We gotta go where the wild winds blow
Oh Cherry O

Makin' love in a sixties Chevy
In the summer fields by the Jonestown levy
Our hearts beat strong those long hot days
And then the summer slipped away

Oh Cherry O
When the moonlight falls and the sun sinks low
We gotta go where the wild winds blow
Oh Cherry O
