 I'm always happy when I come across a forgotten demo for a song that Maia Sharp and I wrote together. I talk about her all the time, but it's because she's a badass. Our time writing together is so precious to me, and hearing this one today gave me a smile when I needed it. This one was written a few years back. It's more on the "country" end of the spectrum of my songwriting and has a little Southern charm to it. Hope y'all enjoy!

"Warm Light Honey" was written by Noah Guthrie & Maia Sharp

Chorus

When in times of trouble

In this god-forsaken town

When your deals gone rotten

And it's all for nothing now

There is warm light honey

A southern rhythm, sweet and slow

There is smooth white lighting

And cornbread on the stove

Verse

These hard days I've had

Would be a crash course for anyone

I've outlasted another one

But I'm sure tired of losing 

She said son be mindful 

of the stars your wishing on

What you long for when its gone

Is yours for the choosing

Chorus

When in times of trouble

In this god-forsaken town

When your deals gone rotten

And it's all for nothing now

There is warm light honey

A southern rhythm, sweet and slow

There is smooth white lighting

And cornbread on the stove

Verse

30 years gone by and wasn’t I 

A man for the company

Never saw all I could be

Just there for the taking

This house of cards

Begins and ends and depends on me

For the good of the family

Some dreams ain't worth waking

Chorus

When in times of trouble

In this god-forsaken town

When your deals gone rotten

You think it's all for nothing now

There is warm light honey

A southern rhythm, sweet and slow

There is smooth white lighting

And cornbread on the stove

Bridge

Warm light honey

Southern rhythm, sweet and slow

Smooth white lighting

Cornbread on the stove

Chorus

When in times of trouble

In this god-forsaken town

When your deals gone rotten

And it's all for nothing now

There is warm light honey

A southern rhythm, sweet and slow

There is smooth white lighting

And cornbread on the stove
