Summer In Savannah |
Summer in Savannah slowed the jackrabbit down |
But I’m in your car and driving to town |
Mama’s missing finger had a mind of its own |
And the dog that we lost keeps coming home |
And now my ham fists hanging 'round the soda machine |
And the birds don’t move in the live oak trees |
Running on a table, papa said I would learn |
You take what you get and you get what you earn |
Then he said, «you reap just what you sow» |
Well I’m gonna take my white house, paint it gold |
Summer in Savannah where the breeze never blows |
With you laid on my lap and wearing my clothes |
Mama told me lately she was praying for you |
So don’t hear me just 'cause you’re the best I can do |
And now my no-neck cursing at a color TV |
And the gaslight whirls with junebug wings |
Staring at the ceiling, papa struggled to say, |
«You'll find a soul’s such a drag but don’t get carried away» |
Someone said, «you reap just what you sow» |
So I’m gonna take my white house, paint it gold |
Summer in Savannah takes a measure of faith |
From under the bed, you kissing my face |
When mama told the doctor that I was born in the cold |
She (?) and freed from the lord |
And now my slack-jaw leaning on a newspaper stand |
Papa bought a bullet 'bout as big as my hand |
We trapped a little hornet in a teacup for fun |
We cut off his head, but we still got stung |
I think that Jesus said, «you reap just what you sow» |
So I’m gonna take my white house, paint it gold |
