She grew up on the 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 going, but wasn't quite ready
So
So when I sing, pure and sweet
American honey
There's a wild, wild whisper blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long-lost friend
Oh, I miss those days as the years go by
Oh, nothing sweet
Oh, nothing sweet
Oh, nothing sweet
Summertime
Summertime
And American honey
Get caught in the race of this crazy life
Trying to be everything can make you lose your mind
I just wanna go back inside
To American honey
To American honey
Yeah
To American honey

There's a wild, wild whisper blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long-lost friend
Oh, I miss those days as the years go by
Oh, nothing sweet
Oh, nothing sweet
Summertime
And American honey
And American honey
Oh, nothing sweet
Up the Reid


Gone for so long a-way
I gotta get back to her somehow
To American honey
Oooh, yeah, yeah
Ooooh
There's a wild, wild whisper blowing in the wind
A 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' sweeter, summertime
And American honey
And American honey
And American honey
And American honey
