Day 2: Meaning Behind my Blog Name

I just recently changed my blog name to "American Honey."
It's one of my very favorite songs by Lady Antebellum. The first time I heard it, I just felt like it described me and the strong connection I will always have to the country. I grew up 14 miles from the city... and a small city at that, in Mississippi. As much as I've always thought I wanted to get away from the country, I never feel more at home than I do around the woods! It's comfort. I added the lyrics below for your enjoyment :)

"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 to leave
So innocent, 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's sweeter than 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 in time
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's sweeter than summertime
And American honey

Gone for so long now
I gotta get back to her somehow
To American honey

Ooh 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's sweeter than summertime
And American honey
And American honey"
