Bare feet on southern soil Burning up in the August heat Tall grass and butterflies Were all praying for breeze I'm going down to the river Gunna wade into my knees Rest a while there on Herd Bank Under cypress trees
(Chorus:) There's a back road in my mind Taking me back here every time And it's all mine it waits for me If only in a daydream Cause it's long gone and it's in my past I can close my eyes when I want to go back To the days when life could be Honeysuckle sweet Honeysuckle sweet
In the evening on the back porch You can see the stars like you've never seen Patsy singing that sweet old song I'm dancing on my daddy's feet Oh I was growing fast I was restless as the wind To young to know that once you leave You'll never be the same again
(Chorus:) But there's a back road in my mind Taking me back here every time And it's all mine it waits for me If only in a daydream Cause it's long gone and it's in my past I can close my eyes when I want to go back To the days when life could be Honeysuckle sweet Honeysuckle sweet
I try to reach back in time And touch those summer days But as each year passes by I feel them starting to fade Oh there fading away yeah
(Chorus:) But there's a back road in my mind Taking me back there every time And it's all mine it waits for me If only in a daydream Cause it's long gone and it's in my past I can close my eyes when I want to go back To the days when life could be (Honeysuckle sweet) Come on wind won't you take me home I want to see how that grass has grown Dirty water won't you wash me clean (Honeysuckle sweet) Ooo I smell it on the vine I got to taste it one more time (Honeysuckle Sweet)
Time after time, I've turned away from you, When all I had to do was surrender to your love. You've seen me stumble, you've watched me fall, And though I heard you call, I just wasn't strong enough. But there's an emptiness inside without you in my life: Lord, I hope you hear my prayer tonight.
Won't you blind my eyes when all I see is temptation. Break my stride when I'm runnin' from the truth. An' tie my hands when I reach out with desire. Go on an' do what you must do, Whatever you must take me through till I turn to you. Yeah.
I know that others fall down on their knees for mercy, But you may have to hurt me before I see the light. 'Cause I've grown as far as I can go by myself: I need your help if I'm gonna get it right. Tired of strugglin' every day, I wanna know the way, So now the only prayer I wanna pray:
Is just blind my eyes when all I see is temptation. Break my stride when I'm runnin' from the truth. An' tie my hands when I reach out with desire. Go on an' do what you must do, Whatever you must put me through till I turn to you. Yeah.
Blind my eyes; Break my stride; Whatever you want to be denied; Whatever you must do. An' tie my hands; Ignore my demands; Build a wall that stands so high, I can't get through, Till I turn to you, yeah. Until I turn to you. 'Cause I wanna turn to you, Oh, yeah. Oooh. Oooh.

Last night I put the top down And drove to the edge of town A part of me just kept on goin' when I turned around Why did I turn around?
Every day it's more confusing wonderin' where I stand The things you say and the things you're doing Never go hand in hand I don't understand
I don't know why you wanna keep me guessin' I try to keep holding on Just tell me what I want to hear or please just tell me no Baby, make me stay or make me go
It's gonna take more than a cold shoulder To make me walk away Let's get it on or get it over, what have you got to say? What have you got to say?
I don't know why you wanna keep me guessin' I try to keep holding on Just tell me what I want to hear or please just tell me no Baby, make me stay or make me go
I don't know why you wanna keep me guessin' I try to keep holding on Just tell me what I want to hear or please just tell me no Baby, make me stay or make me go Yeah, baby, make me stay or make me go
I've tried everything I know But I still see you everywhere I go On the sidewalk by the park where we first kissed I can still feel every touch and tenderness
Everywhere I go, everything I see Everything I do, you are here with me
Everything I touch, every sound I hear Everywhere I turn, you are there You are there everywhere I go
Don't say that time won't right all wrongs, no Cause I don't have the strength to last that long In the shadows where the broken heart, it cries You will find me lost in memories I can't hide from
Everywhere I go, everything I see Everything I do, you are here with me
Everything I touch, every sound I hear Everywhere I turn, you are there You are there everywhere I go
Everywhere I go, everything I see Everything I do, you are here with me
Everything I touch, every sound I hear Everything I feel, you are there now
Everywhere I go Everywhere, baby God, You're everywhere I go
Time after time, I've turned away from you, When all I had to do was surrender to your love. You've seen me stumble, you've watched me fall, And though I heard you call, I just wasn't strong enough. But there's an emptiness inside without you in my life: Lord, I hope you hear my prayer tonight.
