american honey

discovered this song via the wide world of facebook creeping - obviously. and im obsessed. lord knows im a sucker for a sappy country song. maybe its the fact that when im home, turning left right up or down, this is what surrounds me. i couldnt see a skyscraper if i stood on the roof of the borough hall. i can barely see a paved parking lot. unless youve grown up in a small town, you may not understand the sheer power of it. but i do. i dont always take the time to really let it sink in. and while ive complained (and still do) of what its lacking, words like these remind me that the natural luck ive been given cant be built or made. it just is.

she grew up on a side of the road

where the church bells ring and strong love grows

she grew up good, she grew up slow

like american honey.

steady as a preacher, free as a weed

couldnt wait to get going

but wasnt quite ready to leave

so innocent, pure and sweet

like american honey.

theres a wild wild whisper blowing in the wind

calling out my name like a long lost friend

oh i miss those days as the years go by

oh nothings sweeter than summertime

and american honey.

get caught in the race of this crazy life

trying to be everything

can make you lose your mind

i just wana go back in time

to american honey.

theres a wild wild whisper blowing in the wind

calling out my name like a long lost friend

oh i miss those days as the years go by

oh nothings sweeter than summertime

and american honey.

gone for so long now

gotta get back to her somehow

to american honey.

theres a wild wild whisper blowing in the wind

calling out my name like a long lost friend

oh i miss those days as the years go by

oh nothings sweeter than summertime

and american honey.
