The water heater took our flight
We spent the travel fund that night
You hung a hammock by the shed
And brought the good sheets from our bed
You wore your wedding shoes outside
I laughed so hard I nearly cried
Red dirt honeymoon
Just the backyard, just us two
No white sand beneath our feet
Still the sweetest place to be
We ate cold peaches from a tin
The screen door let the crickets in
You drew a shoreline with your heel
And asked if oceanfront felt real
Red dirt honeymoon
Just the backyard, just us two
No white sand beneath our feet
Still the sweetest place to be
We'll see the coast another year
But I won't wish away this here
Your jacket round my shoulders now
The vows sound good without a crowd
Red dirt honeymoon
Just the backyard, just us two
No white sand beneath our feet
Still the sweetest place to be
Your wedding shoes outside the room
Red dirt beneath a rising moon
