I find “Honey” to be an excessively dark and violent tale of drug abuse and crime. The tree in question is probably marijuana or coca. The laughter, the crying and the auto accident were probably the result of the psychotropic effects of the narcotics. Eventually, Honey was killed in a fight with a motorcycle gang.

Just wow. I've no idea how you get that out of that song.

Honey was depressed; the song describes classic signs of depression and suicidal thought that we're taught in suicide prevention classes.

I take it simply to be a sudden unexpected death. It can happen in youth as well as middle or old age. Had not my dad been with my first wife as he was walking to his vehicle for a ride I would have came home to such a scene. A massive heart attack at 23. Bobby Russell {The night that the lights went out in Georgia} & {Little Green Apples} actually wrote the song. It just seems to be a man recollecting his memories over death of his wife. Been there X2 so the song makes sense to me in that respect.
