Bare feet on southern soil Burning up in the august heat Tall gra** and bu*terflies 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 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 To young to know that once you leave You'll never be the same again (Chorus:) 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 there fading away yeah (Chorus:) 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) Ooo I smell it on the vine I got to taste it one more time (Honeys**le Sweet)
