Lee Ann Womack - The Bees lyrics

rate me

<BR>

I've been looking for a sweeter side <br>

Looking for a big bloom on a short vine <br>

Looking for a better way of life <br>

Somewhere that I can call home <br>

<br>

Spent my time at a peach stand <br>

Sun beatin' like a stinging red tan <br>

Like the back of my daddy's hand <br>

The only thing I've ever known <br>

<br>

<i>[Chorus:]</i><br>

I can hear the bees buzzin' through the walls <br>

Making their honey and singing their song <br>

They say I work for the queen all day <br>

Yeah, I work for the queen all day <br>

Ohhhh... <br>

Ohhhh... <br>

<br>

Sometimes it's a bitter taste <br>

For a motherless child so out of place <br>

I never understood why she ran away <br>

Maybe I'll never know <br>

<br>

But there's a light shinin' through the trees <br>

And a restless hum that's calling me <br>

I could almost be carried by the breeze <br>

And let it take me where it goes <br>

<br>

<i>[Repeat Chorus]</i><br>

<br>

Now I'm standing on the front porch <br>

Kettle whistling through the screen door <br>

Little footsteps on the kitchen floor <br>

Pretty soon we're gonna eat <br>

<br>

Some things come right away <br>

Some seem to take forever and a day <br>

All I know is that it worked out either way <br>

I think I found a family <br>

<br>

<i>[Repeat Chorus x2]</i><br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
