Story Behind The Song
Once heard s drinking buddy describing a girl say, "she was the honey & the sting". Then he chuckled, "that would be a good title for a song". He was correct so I wrote this one.

Lyrics
The Honey & the Sting
She got Lynyrd Skynyrd roots she wears jeans & cowboy boots
& looks as good in full length gown & heels
A soft spoken 'Bama twang from this little country thang
Who's dresses up exactly how she feels
CHORUS
Her kisses can be light but at times she likes to bite
She wears devil horns or angel wings
Caressing fingertips or bitter nectar from her lips
She gives me the honey & the sting - She gives me the honey & the sting
She likes beer without a glass or can sip champagne with class
She will draw attention either way
she got the softest heart but her tongue is razor sharp
& what she thinks is what she's gonna say
CHORUS INSTR
BRIDGE I treat her good like I should cause everybody knows
A cozy hive comes alive when warm sweet honey flows
½ CHORUS
