Honey Jar

[Verse 1] My boss was meaner than a rattlesnake in June Didn't matter what I did, he'd always change the tune So my auntie down in Georgia said, son, here's what you do Get a jar of golden honey and I'll tell you how it's through [Verse 2] Write his name on paper, fold it gentle, fold it slow Put it in the honey, let it sink down low Say, as this honey's sweet to me, so you'll be sweet to me Light a candle on the lid and then just let it be [Chorus] Honey jar, honey jar, sweeten up the day Turn the bitter into kindness in a gentle way Paul Hesch says the sweetness always wins Honey jar, let the sweetness in [Verse 3] Now it ain't about controllin', ain't about a spell to bind It's about a little sweetness and a softer state of mind It's about the peace between you, it's about the healin' way It's about a bitter bridge that's mended by the day [Chorus] Honey jar, honey jar, sweeten up the day Turn the bitter into kindness in a gentle way Paul Hesch says the sweetness always wins Honey jar, let the sweetness in [Verse 4] Well a week went by, he smiled at me, I nearly hit the floor Two weeks went by, he thanked me as I walked out the door A month went by, he gave me a raise and a little bit of praise And I kept that honey jar a-burnin' all them days [Verse 5] So if you got a sister and you two don't speak no more If you got a neighbor that's been slammin' every door Get a jar of golden honey and a candle and a prayer And let the sweetness work its way through everything that's there [Chorus] Honey jar, honey jar, sweeten up the day Turn the bitter into kindness in a gentle way Paul Hesch says the sweetness always wins Honey jar, let the sweetness in
