Jason Isbell
Honeysuckle Blue
[Verse 1]
Feel the southern breezes and the southern wind
Blowin' down around the corner bend
D'Agostino's late last night
I saw a boy, fifteen, the road
With nothing in his pockets, his hands to the sky
And nowhere else to go
[Chorus 1]
Can you see it or believe it?
To send the corner man 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
[Verse 2]
Runnin' through these caverns of gold
Runs a river of death indeed
An old hotel servеs as a shelter
For children of thе street
Abandoned by the promised land
Set sail on their own
How much longer will the well
Be dry for those who roam?
[Chorus 2]
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?
[Verse 3]
Come here to the promised land
Running down the world
Run down and leave me lying on the road alone
But if you've got time I'll take you through the [?] of love and more
Stand by my side and leave it all, run out the door
[Verse 4]
Well I've got my dream and I've got some love
And it's standing [?]
When I start something, go ahead
It's all bound with love
[Outro]
Well I'm bound by law and I'm running for you
Holding me alone
Lost and found and lost again
To the Honeysuckle Blue
