The Hookhunters - Sweet Honey Lyrics

She took me in her loving arms I knew that she was mine
What I didn't know was I was running out of time
I'd known her just a little while she set my heart on fire
But now I'm burned because I learned she's moving to Greenbriar
She moved to Greenbriar county to work in a big hotel
But I'm back here in Morgantown and sure does feel like hell
I was making wedding plans but damn it hold the phone
She done flew the coup with little warning and left me all alone

I buzzed around her bonnet but then I got stung
I can still taste the sweetness on the tip of my tongue
Our love was on a deadline but now it's gone too far
I tasted sweet sweet honey from the bottom of a jar

Like a fool I counted chicks before they hatched
I was too unlucky to keep such a catch
I should have known that nothing so damn good could ever last
I got all the honey I could get but I lost it way too fast

I buzzed around her bonnet but then I got stung
I can still taste the sweetness on the tip of my tongue
Our love was on a deadline but now it's gone too far
I tasted sweet sweet honey from the bottom of a jar
