Before the Dogwood Blooms

[Verse 1]
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 getting while the getting's good

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
Kiss me quick honey, can't stay long
By this time tomorrow, I'll be good as gone
