"Sweet As Sweet Comes" lyrics - ROBBIE FULKS

Baby I'm coming as fast as the law will let me
If it wasn't for the money I'd never leave you alone
Being close by you just lifts the whole world from me
Your arms are my home sweet home
I've been trying not to wonder where I'd be without you
I just glide along thanking each and every lucky star
Since you came to me I'm all done searching
'Cause I know nothing could be sweater than you are

[Chorus:]
Sweet as the laurels
Sweet as sugar cane and rum
Girl you're just as sweet as sweet comes
Sweeter than bluegrass
In the warm Kentucky sun
You are just as sweet as sweet comes

I couldn't find no love no how
That was then
Now my heart knows the music like a poet's son
The way you make me feel inside
Love don't have to strive
It's like a smile through my whole body
It's like honey on the tongue

[Chorus:]
Sweet as the laurels
Sweet as sugar cane and rum
Girl you're just as sweet as sweet comes
Sweeter than bluegrass
In the warm Kentucky sun
You are just as sweet as sweet comes
