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
