Honeysuckle Blue - Drivin N Cryin

Feel the southern breezes and the southern wind

Blowin' down around the corner bend

At D’Agostino’s late last night

I saw a boy, fifteen, on the road

With nothing in his pocket, his hand to the sky

Nowhere else to go

Can you see it or believe it

he’s never been

So come with me I’ll show you

Where the dogwoods bloom, it’s true

Lost and found and lost again

To the Honeysuckle Blue

Runnin' through these caverns of gold

Runs a river of death indeed

An old hotel serves as a shelter

For children of the street

Abandoned by the promised land

Set sail on your own

How much longer will the well

Be dry for those who roam?

I got a ticket in my pocket

To send the corner man he’s never been

Have you ever seen the Blue Ridge Mountains, boy?

Or the Chattahoochee or the Honeysuckle blue?

(Come here to the promised land)

(Stand aside to understand)

(Far too close to see things through)

(Once on edge and once removed)

(Come here to the promised land)

Come here to the promised land and

(Stand aside to understand)

Run down and leave me like

(Far too close to see things through)

But if you got time I’ll take you through the times of love and war

(Once on edge and once removed)

To stand silently

(Come here to the promised land)

Well I got a dream and I gotta know but it’s standing far too

(Stand aside to understand)

And I got some and

(Far too close to see things through)

Well I’m runnin' for

Lost and found and lost again

To the Honeysuckle blue
