"American Honey" lyrics - LADY ANTEBELLUM

LADY ANTEBELLUM
"American Honey"
(Cary Barlowe / Hillary Lindsey / Shane Stevens / Kristin Wilkinson)

She grew up on the 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
Couldn't wait to get goin', but wasn't quite ready to leave
So innocent, pure and sweet
American honey

[Chorus:]
There's a wild, wild whisper blowin' in the wind
Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
Oh, I miss those days as the years go by
Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
And American honey

Get caught in the race of this crazy life
Tryin' to be everything can make you lose your mind
I just wanna go back in time
To American honey, yeah

[Chorus:]
There's a wild, wild whisper blowin' in the wind
Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
Oh, I miss those days as the years go by
Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
And American honey

[Bridge:]
Gone for so long now
I gotta get back to her somehow
To American honey
Yeah yeah

[Chorus:]
Ooh, here's a wild, wild whisper blowin' in the wind
Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
Oh, I miss those days as the years go by
Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
And American honey

[Outro:]
And American honey
Mmm, mmm
