Lady Antebellum American Honey Music Video
The song was written by Cary Barlowe, Hillary Lindsey and Shane Stevens. “This is actually the first song we weren’t a part of,” Haywood told The Boot. “We knew we had to have it when we heard it. We had to record it. It’s one that features Hillary on lead. It’s a message that we want to have out there. As crazy as the times get for our job and anybody’s job, you have to remember when life was a little simpler and a little sweeter.”
Lady Antebellum American Honey Lyrics
She grew up on a side of the road
Where the church bells ring and strong love grows
She grew up good
She grew up slow
Like American honey
Steady as a preacher
Free as a weed
Couldn’t wait to get goin’
But wasn’t quite ready to leave
So innocent, pure and sweet
American honey
There’s a wild, wild whisper
Blowin’ in the wind
Callin’ out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing’s sweeter than summertime
And American honey
Get caught in the race
Of this crazy life
Tryin’ to be everything can make you lose your mind
I just wanna go back in time
To American honey, yea
There’s a wild, wild whisper
Blowin’ in the wind
Callin’ out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing’s sweeter than summertime
And American honey
Gone for so long now
I gotta get back to her somehow
To American honey
Ooo there’s a wild, wild whisper
Blowin’ in the wind
Callin’ out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothin’s sweeter than summertime
And American honey
And American honey
