Palmetto peach

I wasn't looking for trouble
When trouble came looking for me
Just trying to find some shelter
When I found a palmetto tree
She said you're safe beneath my branches
Stay as long as you please
If you're weary from all your running
I have fruit that taste like a peach

She said I can be your giving tree
If your heart needs some therapy
And though her branches were just out of reach
I'll never forget the day I met a palmetto peach
The day I met a palmetto peach

The wind it left me tired
The rain it left me cold
I asked her if it was normal
For a young man to feel this old?
And smiling she said you'll be fine dear
You just need a hand to hold
I promise if you hang in there you'll find
Someone with a heart of gold

She said I can be your giving tree
If your heart needs some therapy
And though her branches were just out of reach
I'll never forget the day I met a palmetto peach
The day I met a palmetto peach

She said I can be your giving tree
If your heart needs some therapy
And though her branches were just out of reach
I'll never forget the day I met a palmetto peach
The day I met a palmetto peach
The day I met a palmetto peach
