Before the Dogwood Blooms

Kiss me quick honey, can't stay long

By this time tomorrow, I'll be good as gone

You know I'd stay longer, baby if I could

But I got to get to getting while the getting's good



[Chorus]

So I'll see you around this town in a week or two

Running low on money, honey and the bill's are coming due

Just need a couple days until I find a way like I always do

But this I swear I'll be back here

Before the dogwood blooms



See I'm a long haul daddy gotta rig for hire

I get that diesel singing like a gospel choir

Yeah I get it there safe boy I get it there fast

Cash up-front no questions asked



I gotta buddy's gotta friend said he needs some help

And we both know the rent don't pay itself

Deep down I know that I'm above this

Old enough to know better, too young to quit



[Chorus]



[Hook]

Twenty-eight miles from the state line

Blue lights coming in hot behind

They got me once, babe and I ain't going back

So when that siren sounds

Throw that Hamon down

And watch it all fade to black



Kiss me quick honey, can't stay long

By this time tomorrow, I'll be good as gone
