  • She grew up on a side of the road
    Where the church bells ring and strong love grows
    She grew up good
    She grew up slow
    Like American honey

    Steady as a preacher
    Free as a weed
    Couldn't wait to get goin'
    But wasn't quite ready to leave
    So innocent, pure and sweet
    American honey

    There's a wild, wild whisper
    Blowin' in the wind
    Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
    Oh I miss those days as the years go by
    Oh nothing's sweeter than summertime
    And American honey

    Get caught in the race
    Of this crazy life
    Tryin' to be everything can make you lose your mind
    I just wanna go back in time
    To American honey, yea

    There's a wild, wild whisper
    Blowin' in the wind
    Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
    Oh I miss those days as the years go by
    Oh nothing's sweeter than summertime
    And American honey

    Gone for so long now
    I gotta get back to her somehow
    To American honey

    Ooo there's a wild, wild whisper
    Blowin' in the wind
    Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
    Oh I miss those days as the years go by
    Oh nothin's sweeter than summertime
    And American honey
