David Houston - Wild Honey For Sale Lyrics

I was just a lonely boy stickin' close to home

Content to be there with my folks without a thought to roam

But late one night a change of my mind turned to left down low

This was the time I had to find where that gravel road did go

I got into a city about the break of day

All worn out from a long long walk I stopped at a small cafe

They served me coffee black and strong they were servin' liquor too

And I saw this girl with honey hair and eyes of visual blue

My heart jumped right into my throat I thought that it would fail

Too green to see the invisible sign wild honey keep for sale

I walked right in sat right down and soon my plans were made

A lonely boy too starved for love too dumb to be afraid

Her every wish was my command it only took a smile

And I spent my hard earned money like it was goin' out of style

Now there's no money in my jeans and you find to to be her man

I have to the things she ask with the pocketful in my hand

I'll take my heart back to the farm with mem'ries quite a few

Where the angry buzz and the sting of the bee is only harm wild honey can do

Where the angry buzz and the sting of the bee is only harm wild honey can do
