American Aquarium - 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've got to get to getting while the getting's good

So I'll see you around this town in a week or two
Running low on money, honey, and the bills are coming due
Just need a couple of days 'til 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, got a 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 got a buddy's got a 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

So I'll see you around this town in a week or two
Running low on money, honey, and the bills are coming due
Just need a couple of days 'til I find a way, like I always do
But this I swear, I'll be back here
Before the dogwood blooms

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 hammer 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
