honeysuckle sweet
Bare feet on southern soil Burning up in the August heat  Tall grass and butterflies  Were all praying for breeze I'm going down to the river Gunna wade into my knees  Rest a while there on Herd Bank  Under cypress trees  (Chorus:) There's a back road 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 To young to know that once you leave  You'll never be the same again  (Chorus:) But there's a back road 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 there fading away yeah  (Chorus:) But there's a back road 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) Ooo I smell it on the vine I got to taste it one more time (Honeysuckle Sweet)
