lyrics

She’s no longer the girl
that I knew back then.
She’d ditch her idiot friends
and we’d dance in the bed
Of the truck her Father bought her
When she turned 16.
Never heard ‘no’ it seemed.
She was so different than me.

That curfew her Mother gave
To try and keep her safe
From the Boys up the road
And the darkness they know.
Talking about honor
While she’s on her way gone.
Mixing Old Testament Father
With the Blood of the Son.

Honeysuckle Summer
That Arizona Moon.
She was riding shotgun
When her courage found the truth.
“Get Jesus off the wheel,
And I’ll lead us out of town.
Cross that county line,
I think we’ll be just fine.”

Truth or Consequences of
The choices we made,
When we lived by the sword
And felt the cool of the blade.
In the back of the romance
That we’d been counting on.
Two kids playing at love,
But so afraid to grow up.

Yeah, we were California dreamin’
In a small mining town.
Where a mountain once stood,
Now just a hole in the ground.
Throw the Bible at the children
And then they release the wolves.
Blaming all the women
For the sins of the world.

Honeysuckle Summer
That Arizona Moon.
She was riding shotgun
When her courage found the truth.
“Get Jesus off the wheel,
And I’ll lead us out of town.
We cross that county line…”

I don’t want to sit around
And watch this Copper Mine dry.
While they suck away my life
one paycheck at a time.
She lit a cigarette and said,
“They’ll never catch us alive,
Let’s put Miami in the mirror
And go find that Horizon line.”

That Horizon line…

Honeysuckle Summer
That Arizona Moon.
She was riding shotgun
When her courage found the truth.
“Get Jesus off the wheel,
And I’ll lead us out of town.
We cross that county line.”

Yeah, it was Honeysuckle Summer
That Arizona Moon.
She was riding shotgun
When her courage found the truth.
“Get Jesus off the wheel,
And I’ll lead us out of town.
Cross that county line,
I think we’ll be just fine.”
