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 got to get to gettin' while the gettin's good So I'll see you around this town in a week or two Running low on money, honey and the bill's are coming due Just need a couple 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, gotta 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 gotta 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 bill's are coming due Just need a couple 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
