Bare feet on southern soil
Burning up in the August heat
Tall gra** and bu*terflies
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
Honeys**le sweet, honeys**le 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
Honeys**le sweet, honeys**le sweet
I try to reach back in time
And touch those summer days
But as each year pa**es 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
Honeys**le sweet
Come on wind won't you take me home
I want to see how that gra** has grown
Dirty water won't you wash me clean
Honeys**le 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 honeys**le sweet
So sweet, so sweet
So sweet, so sweet
Honeys**le sweet
