Honeysuckle Sweet

Bare feet on southern soil
 Burning up in the August heat
 Tall grass and butterflies
 We're all praying for breeze
 I'm going down to the river
 Gonna wade into my knees
 Rest a while there on herd bank
 Under the cypress trees
 There's a back rout in my mind
 Taking me back here every time
 And it's all mine it waits for me
 If only in a daydream
 'Cause it's long gone and it's in my past
 I can close my eyes when I want to go back
 To the days when life could be
 Honeysuckle sweet, honeysuckle sweet
 In the evening on the back porch
 You can see the stars like you've never seen
 Patsy singing that sweet old song
 I'm dancing on my daddy's feet
 Oh, I was growing fast
 I was restless as the wind
 Too young to know that once you leave
 You'll never be the same again
 But there's a back rout in my mind
 Taking me back here every time
 And it's all mine it waits for me
 If only in a daydream
 'Cause it's long gone and it's in my past
 I can close my eyes when I want to go back
 To the days when life could be
 Honeysuckle sweet, honeysuckle sweet
 I try to reach back in time
 And touch those summer days
 But as each year passes by
 I feel them starting to fade
 Oh they're fading away, yeah, yeah
 But there's a back rout in my mind
 Taking me back there every time
 And it's all mine it waits for me
 If only in a daydream
 'Cause it's long gone and it's in my past
 I can close my eyes when I want to go back
 To the days when life could be
 Honeysuckle sweet
 Come on wind won't you take me home
 I want to see how that grass has grown
 Dirty water won't you wash me clean
 Honeysuckle sweet
 Ooh, I smell it on the vine
 I got to taste it one more time
 It's all coming back to me and it's
 Sweet, it's honeysuckle sweet
 So sweet, so sweet
 So sweet, so sweet
 Honeysuckle sweet
