Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit and Sadler Vaden - Honeysuckle Blue

Feel the southern breezes
And the southern wind
Blowin' down around the corner bend

D'Agostino's late last night I saw
A boy fifteen on the road
With nothing in his pockets
His hands to the sky
And nowhere else to go

Can you see it?
Or believe it?
To send the corner man
He's never been

So come with me
I'll show you where the
Dogwood's bloom it's true
Lost and found and lost again
To the honeysuckle blue
Bl-bl-blue

Runnin' through these caverns of gold
Runs a river of death indeed
An old hotel serves as a
Shelter for the children
In the street

Abandoned by the promised land
Set sail on their own
How much longer
Will the well
Be dry for those
Who roam

I got a ticket
In my pocket
To send the corner man
He's never been

Have you ever seen the
Blue Ridge Mountains, boy
Or the Chattahoochee
Or the honeysuckle blue
Bl-bl-blue

Come here to the promised land
Running down the world
Run down and leave me lying on the road alone
But if you got time I'll take you through
The times of love and more
Stand by my side and leave it all
Run out the door

Well I got a dream, and I got some love
And it's standing far too long
When I start something, go ahead
And it's all bound in love

Well I'm bound by law, and I'm running for you
Holding me alone
I'm lost and found and lost again
To the honeysuckle blue
Bl-bl-blue
