lyrics

A walk by the river under the moon
A bouquet of roses to make a girl swoon
A movie, a boatride, a cuddle at noon
A text in my inbox says “I miss you!”

I’m a hopeless romantic.
I love all those things just the same.
But there’s nothing like the smell of 2-cycle oil
To make a girl go insane.

It might be unique to just me
But I can’t help but get so horny
When I smell sawdust fresh from a tree
And a guy with a chainsaw hung at his knee.

I’m a hopeless romantic
I love to be wined and dined
But there’s nothing like the smell of 2-cycle oil
To make a girl lose her mind.

Now don’t get me wrong when you hear this song.
I don’t dig a man who cuts greens.
But a good man who can find good deadfall
Knows just what a girl needs.

I’m a hopeless romantic
I’d love to take off on your yacht
But there’s nothing like the smell of 2-cycle oil
To make a girl forget what she’s not

Cut me down
And stack me good
Cause the winter is long and I might just need
A hell of a lot of that wood

I’m a hopeless romantic
I love the smell of gasoline
But there’s nothing like the smell of 2-cycle oil
To make it the mix of my dreams
To make you the man of my dreams
