Huckleberry Lyrics
Just off of the two-lane where the school bus used to stop
Was a little wooden A-frame with a yellow tin roof top
One day it was raining on this world
She said ‘have you ever really, really ever kissed a girl?’
Baby I’ll be your Huckleberry, you don’t have to double dare me
If the storm gets wild and scary count on me to be right there
You’re so extra ordinary sweet like maraschino cherries
We’ll grow up and we’ll get married
I’m gonna be your Huckleberry
Later on that summer we went to the county fair
They had a brand new roller coaster and everyone was scared
It was two bucks to experience the thrill
She said ‘come on boy let’s get in line I’ll ride it if you will’
Baby I’ll be your Huckleberry, you don’t have to double dare me
If the ride gets wild and scary count on me to be right there
You’re so extra ordinary sweet like maraschino cherries
We’ll grow up and we’ll get married
I’m gonna be your Huckleberry
Snuck off on a slow dance at the junior/senior prom
Went lookin’ for some romance before I had to get her home
Steamin’ up the windows of my car
She said ‘until I get my wedding ring boy we can’t go that far’
Baby I’ll be your Huckleberry, you don’t have to double dare me
If the world gets wild and scary count on me to be right there
You’re so extra ordinary sweet like maraschino cherries
We grew up and we got married
Now look at those three little Huckleberries
Was a little wooden A-frame with a yellow tin roof top
One day it was raining on this world
She said ‘have you ever really, really ever kissed a girl?’
If the storm gets wild and scary count on me to be right there
You’re so extra ordinary sweet like maraschino cherries
We’ll grow up and we’ll get married
I’m gonna be your Huckleberry
They had a brand new roller coaster and everyone was scared
It was two bucks to experience the thrill
She said ‘come on boy let’s get in line I’ll ride it if you will’
If the ride gets wild and scary count on me to be right there
You’re so extra ordinary sweet like maraschino cherries
We’ll grow up and we’ll get married
I’m gonna be your Huckleberry
Went lookin’ for some romance before I had to get her home
Steamin’ up the windows of my car
She said ‘until I get my wedding ring boy we can’t go that far’
If the world gets wild and scary count on me to be right there
You’re so extra ordinary sweet like maraschino cherries
We grew up and we got married
Now look at those three little Huckleberries

well "huckleberry" is a champion or hero. its obviously about someone saying they'll do anything for another person and will be there for them always. i love this song!

This song is about Toby and Trish(his wife) and that he will love her forever and will never cheat on her...and he hasn't and he hasn't stopd loving her.
SHE IS SO LUCKY!!!!
I think the title actually comes from the Western movie Tombstone where Doc Holliday tells another gunslinger "I'm your huckleberry".
"Huckleberry" was commonly used in the 1800's in conjunction with "persimmon" as a small unit of measure. "I'm a huckleberry over your persimmon" meant "I'm just a bit better than you." As a result, "huckleberry" came to denote idiomatically two things. First, it denoted a small unit of measure, a "tad," as it were, and a person who was a huckleberry could be a small, unimportant person--usually expressed ironically in mock self-depreciation.
The second and more common usage came to mean, in the words of the "Dictionary of American Slang: Second Supplemented Edition" (Crowell, 1975): "A man; specif., the exact kind of man needed for a particular purpose. 1936: "Well, I'm your huckleberry, Mr. Haney." Tully, "Bruiser," 37. Since 1880, archaic.
What Toby's saying to his love is "I'm the exact man you need"!
