Lee Ann Womack - The Bees lyrics

I've been looking for a sweeter side Looking for a big bloom on a short vine Looking for a better way of life Somewhere that I can call home Spent my time at a peach stand Sun beatin' like a stinging red tan Like the back of my daddy's hand The only thing I've ever known Chorus: I can hear the bees buzzin' through the walls Making their honey and singing their song They say I work for the queen all day Yeah, I work for the queen all day Ohhhh... Ohhhh... Sometimes it's a bitter taste For a motherless child so out of place I never understood why she ran away Maybe I'll never know But there's a light shinin' through the trees And a restless hum that's calling me I could almost be carried by the breeze And let it take me where it goes Repeat Chorus Now I'm standing on the front porch Kettle whistling through the screen door Little footsteps on the kitchen floor Pretty soon we're gonna eat Some things come right away Some seem to take forever and a day All I know is that it worked out either way I think I found a family Repeat Chorus (2x)
