Drivin' N' Cryin' Honeysuckle Blue

Feel the southern breezes
and the southern wind
blowin' down around this
dying land [broken land]

D'Agostino's late last night
I saw a boy fifteen on the road
He had nothing in the pocket his hand to the sky
nowhere else to go

Can you see it
or believe it
What's beyond east orange [to send the corner man]
and farther yet [he's never been]

So come with me I'll show you where
the dogwood's bloom it's true
Lost n' found n' 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 chatahoochee
or the Honeysuckle Blue


Glory to the promised land
Stand outside to understand
Far too close to see things through
What's our nature once removed

Call me to promised land and
run me down the walk
Run down and leave me lyin' on the road alone

But if you got time I'll take you through
the fountain of love and more
Stand by my side and leave it
all run out the door

Well I got a dream and I got love
but it's standin' far too long
And I start somethin' and go ahead
and it's all found in love

Well I'm bound by law and I'm runnin' for you
holding me alone
Lost and found and lost again
to the Huneysuckle Blue
