Once, I was the running kind, I would run these interstates, now I'm running home if you're waiting there

Once, I was the loving kind, I thought your heart would be all mine, I learned in good time that it could never be

Like damson trees and honeybees

We are a dying breed

I'm gonna live way up in the holler, I can't stand the city no more

Working all my life trying to make a dollar, wish things were how they were before

I'm gonna sweep you off your feet, I'm gonna take you to higher ground

We can dance the night away, we ain't gotta fool around

These lowdown days, these long highways keep me feeling alone

Wish I was high and somewhat dry in my underground home

These Nashville cats in Ariat hats leave a sour taste in my mouth

Like daddy said you better keep your head and know when to shut that mouth

Like damson trees, lost Southern melodies

We are a dying breed

I'm gonna live way up in the holler, I can't stand the city no more

Working all my life trying to make a dollar, wish things were how they were before

I'm gonna sweep you off your feet, I'm gonna take you to higher ground

We can dance the night away, we ain't gotta fool around

Like damson trees and honeybees

We are a dying breed

I'm gonna live way up in the holler, I can't stand the city no more

Working all my life trying to make a dollar, wish things were how they were before

I'm gonna sweep you off your feet, I'm gonna take you to higher ground

We can dance the night away, we ain't gotta fool around
