"Robbin' My Honeycomb" lyrics

"Robbin' My Honeycomb"

One more Greyhound running tonight
Biloxi, Mississippi bound
But I ain't ridin', let it go on by
I think I'll just hang around downtown

Went to my baby's house, didn't telephone
Strange car in the driveway, she was not alone
Now I'm out on the street, hurting down in my bones
Somebody's been robbin' my honeycomb

I can't look back, no memories
If that's the way she wants it, that's how it's gonna be
I never was one to keep hanging on
If the woman don't want you just leave her alone

But I think about it, and it tears me down
I find a little bar with a 7 and Crown
I'm a dangerous man, drinkin' alone
And I feel like robbin' somebody's honeycomb

Daylight finds me out on the road
Hard rain falling but I don't feel the cold
I got a fire inside and it's burnin' deep
I got to let that woman and her new lover be

But he better not play you for a fool
I'd hurt somebody that would do that to you
I still got my feelings, they're burnin' strong
Somebody's been robbin my honeycomb
And I feel like robbin' somebody's honeycomb
