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
