Originally written in 1991, Texas Honey was inspired by trips through East Texas via Highway 59, where roadside vendors set up shop in any available space along the highway. Homemade signs advertise everything from handmade quilts to baby rabbits, barbeque, mayhaw jelly, boiled peanuts, and Just Ahead - Texas Honey.
Rollin' down Highway 59 'Neath those tall east Texas pines A homemade sign got my heart a-jumpin' Said Just Ahead - Texas Honey
Deep desires began to rise Self control was compromised Countin' floorboard change just like some junkie Got a powerful cravin' for Texas Honey
CHORUS I would walk barefoot across a hundred miles of hot coals and broken glass Swim the sea, crawl on my hands and knees across the burning desert sands I would storm the gates of hell - cut heads with the devil himself For one sweet taste of heaven - Texas Honey
Recall my wild and wasted youth Sowed my seeds in search of truth Found the answer I was yearnin' What makes the world go round - Texas Honey
Memories of a preachers daughter Skinny dippin' at Hippie Hollow A case of Lone Star and a campfire burnin' She gave me my first taste - of Texas Honey REPEAT CHORUS
