inspired from a keith urban song, you gonna fly, at the end of it, "better believe it now, honey girl", and it made me think of what it would be like to be someone's only honey girl from the start. living out in a small town, going to the pasture, sitting on the tailgate, looking at the stars and dreaming - and then to look back at that time 20, 30, 50 years later at your life together.

Lyrics
honey girl
I remember that country summer
Crickets chirping and lightning bugs
I didn't think you could get any handsomer
We didn't have a care in the world
And I remember all I could think was
I just wanted to be your only girl
Yeah, in my cotton dress, hair in a ponytail
Truck radio in the background
Playing love sounds going down the dirt road
Me sitting in the middle with your arm around
We didn't have a care in the world
And I remember all I could think was
I just wanted to be your only girl
Fence made of barbed wire
Cattle guard crossing
Find a spot in the pasture
All we had was a guitar and a campfire
Not a care in the world, in the world
And I remember all I could think was
I just wanted to be your only girl
The stars twinkling in the background
As you smile over me, waiting patiently
Laying in the bed of your truck
Listening to the fire crackle
Fingers dancing, eyes twinkling
In between our nervous laughter
Not a care in the world
And I remember all I could think was
Yeah, all I can remember was
I just wanted to be your only girl
Yeah, your only girl
Now here we are, so many years after
And you're still holding my heart
Yeah, you're still that boy in the pasture
You're all I care about in the world
And I'm so thankful now, I got all I ever wanted
To be your only honey girl
