The Honey Wilders — Sweet Alice lyrics

Lyrics

Excuse me, miss, don’t believe we’ve met
A honey wild time I won’t ever forget
I wouldn’t mind trying to make you sweat
But I’ve been out here 3 weeks, I haven’t seen my wife yet
I hear tell that you’re a private dick
And the rumors flying ‘round are just making me sick
I’m paranoid or jealous, you can take your pick
But I don’t think it’ll matter by the end of this flick
Sweet Alice… Lord, she’s gone so far away from home
Sweet Alice… you know I never should have let her go
Sweet Alice… if you’re trapped I’m gonna set you free
Sweet Alice… come home to me
Came to LA on an anonymous tip
That said they’d seen her down on the Sunset Strip
I packed my bags and made the long trip
That’s God’s honest truth off my tongue and my lips
I made my way through the mire and the muck
I hitched a ride on a five-axle truck
I did what I could to turn around my luck
Just to watch my old lady getting paid to fuck
Since we last met I’ve been at half mast
I thought that in time that these feelings would pass
I’m hot for you, honey, yes I’ve said it at last
Just you and me, babe, I’ve given up on that lass
I guess this city hasn’t been half bad
The hottest vacation that I’ve ever had
When I left home I was jealous and mad
But if you’re lucky jealousy is just a passing fad
