Lyrics:
Do squirrels have houses in the trees?
Why'd God put stingers on honeybees?"
It's crazy all the things she sees on the side of the road
Out of that window beside her
I wish I could be more like her
My little dangling feet, pretty in pink, backseat driver
One day, I'll look back and I'll miss when
My whole world wasn't over that dash
It was back there buckled in
Saying, "Daddy, look, there's a plane in the sky
Are we there yet?
The story of a broken heart
Well the springtime is coming
And the honeybees are humming
And I just saw a robin flying by
While your wedding bells are ringing
My poor heart is singing
The story of a broken heart
The story of a broken heart
When the trees start to budding
And the memories start to flooding
And my heart takes a trip to yesterday
When we walked neath the moon
And our love was in bloom
Now we're two lovers drifted apart
The story of a broken heart
Now the wedding invitations
Were sent out to your relations
But you ask me to give the bride away
Although I can't show it
I think that you'll know it
A story that's told from my heart
The story of a broken heart
The story of a broken heart
Well the springtime is coming
And the honeybees are humming
And I just saw a robin flying by
While your wedding bells are ringing
My poor heart is singing
The story of a broken heart
The story of a broken heart
When the trees start to budding
And the memories start to flooding
And my heart takes a trip to yesterday
When we walked neath the moon
And our love was in bloom
Now we're two lovers drifted apart
The story of a broken heart
Now the wedding invitations
Were sent out to your relations
But you ask me to give the bride away
Although I can't show it
I think that you'll know it
A story that's told from my heart
The story of a broken heart
The story of a broken heart
Well the springtime is coming
And the honeybees are humming
And I just saw a robin flying by
While your wedding bells are ringing
My poor heart is singing
The story of a broken heart
The story of a broken heart
When the trees start to budding
And the memories start to flooding
And my heart takes a trip to yesterday
When we walked neath the moon
And our love was in bloom
Now we're two lovers drifted apart
The story of a broken heart
Now the wedding invitations
Were sent out to your relations
But you ask me to give the bride away
Although I can't show it
I think that you'll know it
A story that's told from my heart
The story of a broken heart
I can hear the rippling water falling gently
From the waterfall that I have found
From the meadow I hear meadowlarks a singing
Seems there's sounds of nature all around
I can hear the wind go whistling through the treetops
I hear raindrops falling softly to the ground
In the distance I can hear the roar of thunder
Seems there's sounds of nature all around
Sounds of nature fill the air with music
How I love and cherish every sound
I often kneel in prayer to thank the Master
For the sounds of nature all around
In a barren tree a lonesome dove is calling
For its mate that's nowhere to be found
In the garden I hear honeybees a humming
Sounds of nature fill the air with music...
Seems there's sounds of nature all around
Blow into this paperbag,
Go home, stop grinning at everyone.
And they were honeybees
On a blade of grass.
Take your armor off,
You're not under attack.
Blow into this paperbag.
Blow into this paperbag,
Go home, stop grinning at everyone.
And they were honeybees
On a blade of grass.
Take your armor off,
You're not under attack.
Blow into this paperbag.
In a shingle-covered cottage at the
Foothills of the Smokeys
Near a mountain stream that's
Flowing crystal clear
Where hummingbirds and honeybees feed
On Mama's roses
My memories just grow sweeter with the years
Memories of my childhood are as
Sweet as mountain honey
And as fresh as dew on morning glory vines
I grew up surrounded by the
Sights and sounds of nature
And they're forever present in my mind
But I'm headed in the wrong direction home
Headed in the wrong direction home
There's no place like home
But I'm headed in the wrong direction home
Teardrops mingled with the summer
Rain that was a-falling
The day I left my mountain home behind
With a suitcase in my hand and
A hope in my heart
I was following a dream I had to find
In that shingled-covered cottage at the
Foothills of the Smokeys
Wait's a family that I'm longing so to see
And mountain streams and fields of green
And rolling hills stay in my dreams
But I'm many, many miles from Tennessee
And still headed in the wrong direction home
Headed in the wrong direction home
But maybe I'll get back before too long
But I'm headed in the wrong direction home
Where honeybees hum melodies
And orange trees scent the breeze.
Beneath the palms
In someone's arms
In Pasadena town.
Oh, remember
The mocking bird, my baby bought
He used to sing for his supper, baby
Yes, he used to sing for his dinner, baby
He used to sing so sweet
But, uh, since my baby left me
He ain't sang a tune all day
Oh, remember
The bluebirds and the honey-bees
They used to sing for the sunshine
Yes, they used to sing for the honey, baby
They used to sing so sweet
But, uh, since my baby left me
Ain't sang a tune all day
Ah, baby
Hey, pretty baby
Come on back to me
Make everybody
Happy as can be, yeah!
Oh, remember
The mocking bird, my baby bought
He used to sing for his supper, baby
Yes, he used to sing for his dinner, baby
He used to sing so sweet
But, uh, since my baby left me
He ain't sang a tune all day
Oh, remember
The bluebirds and the honey-bees
They used to sing for the sunshine
Yes, they used to sing for the honey, baby
They used to sing so sweet
But, uh, since my baby left me
Ain't sang a tune all day
Ah, baby
Hey, pretty baby
Come on back to me
Make everybody
Happy as can be, yeah!
You were loved before you had arrived
And every day that love just multiplies
Daddy made your bed and your lullaby
And mama made the mobile in the sky
And loving you is easy
But life will not always be
Fall into the world of your song
Whatever you feel can never be wrong
Come along for the ride
And in a shake of a lamb's tail, we'll go
Be still now and close your eyes
And dream
Hanging out with the Sandman
You look so sweet, my child
Hanging out with the Sandman
But though there's rain outside, you'll be warm and dry
The thunder and the lightning won't hurt you now
So go to sleep, my love
Hanging out with the Sandman
Chocolate covered roof and candy cars
Rainbow sugar river we can sail upon
Marshmallow books and strawberries
Snowmen made of ice cream
Over the flower fields, we'll fly
We'll count the fish in the sky
Honeybees and birds sing your song
Whatever you feel can never be wrong
But come along for the ride
And in a shake of a lamb's tail, we'll go
Be still now and close your eyes
And dream
Hanging out with the Sandman
You look so sweet, my child
Hanging out with the Sandman
But though there's rain outside, you'll be warm and dry
The thunder and the lightning won't hurt you now
So go to sleep, my love
Hanging out with the Sandman
Come along for the ride
And in a shake of a lamb's tail, we'll go
Be still now and close your eyes
And dream
Hanging out with the Sandman
You look so sweet, my child
Hanging out with the Sandman
But though there's rain outside, you'll be warm and dry
The thunder and the lightning won't hurt you now
So go to sleep, my love
Hanging out with the Sandman
We're hanging out with the Sandman
We're hanging out with the Sandman
We're hanging out with the Sandman
You ought to see my Cindy, she lives way down South*
She's so sweet the honeybees swarm around her mouth
Get along home Cindy, Cindy get along home
Get along home Cindy, Cindy I'll marry you someday
First I seen Cindy, she was standin' in the door
Her shoes and stockings in her hand and her feet all over the floor
She kissed me and she hugged me, she called me a sugarplum
She thrown her arms around me and called me a sugarplum
I wished I had a nickel, wished I had a dime
I give it to my Cindy to love me all the time
She took me to her parlor, she called me with her fan
She said I was the prettiest thing to dream a mortal man
I wished I was an apple, a-hangin' on a tree
Ev'rytime that Cindy would pass me by, she take a bite of me
Oh, Cindy is a pretty girl, Cindy is a peach
She threw her arms around my neck and hung on like a leach
I can hear the rippling water falling gently
From the waterfall that I have found
From the meadow I hear meadowlarks a singing
Seems there's sounds of nature all around
I can hear the wind go whistling through the treetops
I hear raindrops falling softly to the ground
In the distance I can hear the roar of thunder
Seems there's sounds of nature all around
Sounds of nature fill the air with music
How I love and cherish every sound
I often kneel in prayer to thank the Master
For the sounds of nature all around
In a barren tree a lonesome dove is calling
For its mate that's nowhere to be found
In the garden I hear honeybees a humming
Sounds of nature fill the air with music...
Seems there's sounds of nature all around
In every job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap
The job's a game
In every task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark, a spree
It's very clear to see
That a spoonful of sugar
Helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down
Medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar
Helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
A robin feathering his nest
Has very little time to rest
While gathering his
Bits of twine and twig
Though quite intent in his pursuit
He has a merry tune to toot
He knows a song
Will move the job along
For a spoonful of sugar
Helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down
Medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar
Helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
The honeybees that brings the nectar
From the flowers to the comb
Never tire ever buzzing to and fro, no
Because they take a little nip
From every flower that they sip
And hence they find
Their task is not a grind
For a spoonful of sugar
Helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down
Medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar
Helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
In a most delightful way
I'm a cheater, I lie and I'm shy
But you like to say hello to total strangers
Shivering pines and walls of color
I can't believe I used to stay inside
But every perfect summer's got to say goodnight
Now I watch you run through the amber light
I used to love the party, now I'm not alright
Drinking in the dark, take me home tonight
Baby, you're a big star
You're a big star
Want to take your picture
I toss up if it's worth it now, every time I get on a plane
I've got so much to tell you and not enough time to do it in
But every perfect summer's gotta take its flight
I'll still watch you run through the winter light
I used to love the party now I'm not alright
Hope the honeybees make it home tonight
Baby, you're a big star
You're a big star
Want to take your picture
'Til I die
'Til I die
'Til I die
Peep what I say
Everyday the sun sets just like clockwork
To put the Glock to work
And putting the body to standstills
Man, it kills me
Taking that life is like taking a shit
Hit or miss, niggas are playing God
Trying to rob and steal
That's why ya gotta guard your grill
Like a barbecue 'cause them harming you
Are just like honeybees swarming you
Vocally arming you was my responsibility
It's killing me thinking that all these niggas see they flauging
Thinking they Steven Seagal and balling
Falling to the wayside when ya try to call, I've fallen
When we was little nappy headed niggas in the projects
But now they carjacks, wait on income tax and unsafe sex
Still yet they tend to flex like solo for tha lo-lo
Smoke same thing no-no, not this time
Niggas around my way can rhyme
So fuck that country shit we done a bunch of shit
And yes ya heard of this out of this world like E.T
Coming across your T.V
Extraterrestrial straight from ATL (know what I'm sayin'?)
Down over the window
Comes the dazzling sunlit rays
Through the back alleys, through the blinds
Another one of them endless days
Honeybees are buzzin'
Leaves begin to stir
I'm in love with my second cousin
I tell myself I could be happy forever with her
I keep listenin' for footsteps
But I ain't ever hearing any
From the boat I fish for bullheads
I catch a lot, sometimes too many
A summer breeze is blowing
A squall is settin' in
Sometimes it's just plain stupid
To get into any kind of wind
Well, the old men 'round here, sometimes they get on
Bad terms with the younger men
Old, young, age don't carry weight
It doesn't matter in the end
One of the boss' hangers-on
Sometimes omes to call at times you least expect
Try to bully ya, strong arm ya, inspire you with fear
It has the opposite effect
There's a new grove of trees on the outskirts of town
The old one is long gone
Timber two-foot six across
Burns with the bark still on
They say times are hard, if you don't believe it
You can just follow your nose
It don't bother me, times are hard everywhere
Well, we'll just have to see how it goes
My old man, he's like some feudal lord
Got more lives than a cat
I never seen him quarrel with my mother even once
Things come alive or they fall flat
You can smell the pine wood burnin'
You can hear the school bell ring
Gotta get up near the teacher if you can
If you want to learn anything
Romeo, he said to Juliet, "You got a poor complexion
It doesn't give your appearance a very youthful touch"
Juliet said back to Romeo, "Why don't you just shove off
If it bothers you so much"
They all got out of here any way they could
The cold rain can give you the shivers
They went down the Ohio, the Cumberland, the Tennessee
All the rest of them rebel rivers
If you ever try to interfere with me or cross my path again
You do so at the peril of your own life
I'm not quite as cool or forgiving as I sound
I've seen enough heartaches and strife
My grandfather was a duck trapper
He could do it with just dragnets and ropes
My grandmother could sew new dresses out of old cloth
I don't know if they had any dreams or hopes
I had 'em once though, I suppose
To go along with all the ring dancin' Christmas carols on all the Christmas Eves
I left all my dreams and hopes
Buried under tobacco leaves
Not always easy kicking someone out
Gotta wait a while, it can be an unpleasant task
Sometimes somebody wants you to give something up
And tears or not, it's too much to ask
Peep what I say
Everyday the sun sets just like clockwork
To put the Glock to work
And putting the body to standstills
Man, it kills me
Taking that life is like taking a shit
Hit or miss, niggas are playing God
Trying to rob and steal
That's why ya gotta guard your grill
Like a barbecue 'cause them harming you
Are just like honeybees swarming you
Vocally arming you was my responsibility
It's killing me thinking that all these niggas see they flauging
Thinking they Steven Seagal and balling
Falling to the wayside when ya try to call, I've fallen
When we was little nappy headed niggas in the projects
But now they carjacks, wait on income tax and unsafe sex
Still yet they tend to flex like solo for tha lo-lo
Smoke same thing no-no, not this time

You ought to see my Cindy, she lives way down South*
She's so sweet the honeybees swarm around her mouth
Get along home Cindy, Cindy get along home
Get along home Cindy, Cindy I'll marry you someday
First I seen Cindy, she was standin' in the door

She kissed me and she hugged me, she called me a sugarplum

Ev'rytime that Cindy would pass me by, she take a bite of me
Oh, Cindy is a pretty girl, Cindy is a peach
She threw her arms around my neck and hung on like a leach
I am just a weary singer
Moving through this world of ills
Hark the choir of predecessors
When the paint grows darker still
Once I found a golden trumpet
In the mash of an old landfill
Now I play for the spirits
When the paint grows darker still
Winter waited in my garden
When the sun did refuse to shine
Honeybees all in a slumber
Skies filled up the sea
Falling down on me
Winter waited in my garden
When the sun did refuse to shine
Honeybees are in a slumber
Skies filled up the sea
Falling down on me
See his eyes turn to stained glass
Head to toe in a black roadkill
Here I am for your judgment
When the paint grows darker still
When the paint grows darker still
When the paint grows darker still
When she touches me it's like a rodent sifting through garbage but it's better than just rotting away when she kisses me her lips are like chalk beneath empty socket eyes compassion takes too much effort I suppose the dead honeybees suckle withered flowers 'cause they don't know what else to do
I was born a country girl I will die a country girl
My world is made of blue skies and sunshine green fields and butterflies
I'm so glad I'm a country girl
Birds sing good morning country girl I sleep to the sounds of a whippoorwill
My day is made with puppies and kittens meadows and daisies
I'm so glad I'm a country girl
Running over hills playing in the woods free breezes blowing
Honeybees warming blackbirds a flying wonder where they're going
Picking stick-me-tights off my gain and dress darkness is falling
Fire wood to carry eggs to gathering supper's ready mother's calling
I was born a country girl I will die a country girl
My world is made of blue skies and sunshine green fields and butterflies
I'm so glad I'm a country girl I'm so happy I'm a country girl
I just bought myself a 9 and my brother a TEC
Got too much on my mind hit the blunt and reflect
When I was under arrest my bitch was under duress
I bet she fucked while I was gone, then I double the bet
I smoke weed in Amsterdam, then I smuggle the rest
I act like I'm shaking your hand and you get punched with the left
And you can get killed for shit you said under your breath
And if you do choose to bark, it ain't nothin' to a vet
Man, fuck these niggas, I ain't stuntin' these niggas
Yo' bitch about to swallow a bunch of me's, nigga
I got a white girl fucking, sucking me, nigga
While I'm thinkin' 'bout the days that it sucked to be niggas
Bought myself a 9 and my brother a TEC
Nigga, keep your head up like that gun to ya neck
And my bitch was scared to fly 'til we fucked on a jet
Fucked her in the cockpit, all these buttons to press
I just got myself a blonde with the puffiest chest
I just bought myself some time, rolled my Rollie a check
Ridin' in a double R, just regrettin' regret
Getting loaded more than once, no Russian Roulette
I just left King of Diamonds, I just fucked a baguette
I ain't called her since that day, I just wasn't impressed
Bull with a nose ring, startin' a bunch of BS
Hide the gun, knock on yo' door, dressed like UPS
Man, fuck these niggas, I ain't stuntin' these niggas
I'm a bear coughing up a bunch of honeybees, nigga
Got hoes under me, like a submarine, nigga
Got a bitch with a clit like a butter bean, nigga (uh)
Bought myself a 9 and my brother a TEC (yeah)
Bought my sons toys and my daughter a pet
Bought my homeboys choppers and my woman a dress
And to catch me if I fall, I bought my mother a net, let's go
Anyone could get knocked off
Any bitch could get knocked up
Baby daddy get locked up
Sell everything, put the house up
Don't say anything, keep your mouth shut
Except two words and that's "How much?"
