Verse 1:
You say you love her- is it so,
And you may call her your forever home,
And you will have kids,
Who have kids,
Who grow old,
But I knew her first-
Before you, so you know-
I know a few things-
She’s somebodies daughter-
So treat her so-
Chorus:
She’s sweet,
Like American Honey,
All bitter and funny,
But best served cold,
Tell her she can always- find me,
In the place where it’s sunny,
And the winters are runny,
Mixed with American coal,
The trees all go barren,
The rivers are wearin’,
Down the mountains I know,
She’s got a touch of the hillside,
You can move her to street lights,
But she’ll call this her home,
Verse 2:
She’ll tell you things that I’ll never know,
And that’s just how life’s supposed to go,
You’ll be her partner,
The partner,
She grows,
Older and wiser,
Without me she’ll go,
Chorus:
She’s sweet,
Like American Honey,
All bitter and funny,
But best served cold,
Tell her she can always- find me,
In the place where it’s sunny,
And the winters are runny,
Mixed with American coal,
The trees all go barren,
The rivers are wearin’,
Down the mountains I know,
She’s got a touch of the hillside,
You can move her to street lights,
But she’ll call this her home,
Alternate Chorus:
And I can tell you know that-
She’s sweet,
like American honey,
But isn’t it lovely,
All the flavors she holds,
Tell her she can always- find me,
Anytime she needs company,
It don’t matter the money,
The distance I’ll go,
You met her down in the hillside,
You can move her to street lights,
But she’ll call this her home,
And trust me now if you break her,
I’ll be coming up quicker,
Then American Honey,
When it’s not served cold.
