Lyrics
Verse 1
Left Waiʻanae before the morning light,
Coffee in my cup, trying to beat the drive.
Brake lights glowing far as I could see,
Another H-1 morning waiting on me.
Windows down, radio playing low,
Everybody creeping, nowhere else to go.
Then I looked over and couldn't believe...
The prettiest wahine ever smiled at me.
Pre-Chorus
Talking story...
Just with our eyes...
Every little smile...
Made the miles fly by.
Chorus
My H-1 Honey...
Five miles an hour...
Bumper to bumper...
Best part of my day.
She smiled at me...
I smiled back...
She blew me one kiss...
As traffic came alive.
Verse 2
She was riding in the back,
Hair blowing in the breeze.
Laughing with her friends,
Looking back at me.
I held up my coffee,
She held up hers too.
Everybody else looked mad...
We were loving the view.
Tried to roll my window down
To ask her for her name...
Just then one zipper merge...
Changed everything.
Bridge
Her lane pulled ahead...
Mine stayed behind...
She wrote something on the back glass...
But the sun was way too bright.
Maybe it was her number...
Maybe "Aloha" too...
All I caught was one last smile...
Before she disappeared from view.
Final Chorus
My H-1 Honey...
Five miles an hour...
Bumper to bumper...
Best part of my day.
She smiled at me...
I smiled back...
She blew me one kiss...
Then traffic finally cleared...
Every morning since...
I've hoped she'd reappear.
Outro
Alarm's set...
Ten minutes early.
Maybe tomorrow...
I'll catch
My H-1 Honey
Again.
