I been tryin' to enjoy all the fruits of my labor
Come to my world and witness
The way things have changed
Baby, sweet baby, if it's all the same
And fruit falls to the ground, baby, sweet baby
Lemon trees don't make a sound 'til branches bend
Tangerines and persimmons
I been cryin' for you, boy, but truth is my savior
The bright and unforgiving light from shining through
Enough fit for a queen
And my luck to the test, baby, sweet baby
Water the dirt, flowers last for you, baby, sweet baby
In the blue behind your eyelids, baby, sweet baby
Take the glory any day over the fame, baby, sweet baby
I been tryin' to enjoy all the fruits of my labor
Baby, I remember all the things we did when we slept together
And sugarcane, grapes and honeydew melon
'Cause I finally did it, baby, I got out of La Grange
'Til I found these purple flowers
Traced your scent through the gloom
Baby, sweet baby, if it's all the same
I was spent, I was soon smelling you for hours
Lavender, lotus blossoms too
I been cryin' for you, boy, but truth is my savior
Got in my mercury and drove out west, pedal to the metal
