Honeysuckle Sweet Lyrics - Singles - Jessi Alexander

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
