Before the Dogwood Blooms - American Aquarium

Kiss me quick honey, I 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 got to get the 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 days until 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, get 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 gotta 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 days until 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
