Before The Dogwood Blooms Songtext

See I'm a long haul daddy gotta rig for hire
I get that diesel singing like a gospel choir
Yeah I get it there safe boy I get it there fast
Cash up-front no questions asked

I gotta buddy's gotta friend said he needs some help
And we both know the rent don't pay itself
Deep down I know that I'm above this
Old enough to know better, too young to quit

So I'll see you around this town in a week or two
Running low on money, honey and the bill's are coming due
Just need a couple days until I find a way like I always do
But this I swear I'll be back here
Before the dogwood blooms

Twenty-eight miles from the state line
Blue lights coming in hot behind
They got me once, babe and I ain't going back So when that siren sounds
Throw that Hamon down
And watch it all fade to black

Kiss me quick honey, can't stay long
By this time tomorrow, I'll be good as gone
