[00:17.08] Summer in Savannah slowed the jackrabbit down
[00:20.61] But I'm in your car driving to town
[00:24.60] Mama's missing finger had a mind of its own
[00:27.83] And the dog that we lost keeps coming home
[00:38.41] And now my health is hanging round a soda machine
[00:42.56] And the birds don't move in the live oak trees
[00:46.40] Pounding on the table Papa said I would learn
[00:49.82] You take what you get and you get what you earn
[00:53.87] Then he said you reap just what you sow
[01:00.97] So I'm gonna take my white house, paint it gold
[01:11.87] Summer in Savannah where the breeze never blows
[01:15.30] But you laid on my lap wearing my clothes
[01:19.18] Mama told me lately she was praying for you
[01:22.60] So don't hate me just cause you're the best I can do
[01:33.59] And I'm a no-neck cursing at a color TV
[01:37.38] And the gas light swirls with junebug wings
[01:41.10] Staring at the ceiling Papa struggled to say
[01:44.17] You'll find it's all such a drag but don't get carried away
[01:48.21] Someone said you reap just what you sow
[01:55.77] So I'm gonna take my white house, paint it gold
[02:10.02]
[02:28.56] Summer in Savannah takes a measure of faith
[02:31.99] From under the bed you're kissing my face
[02:35.77] When Mama told the cop that I was born in the cold
[02:39.25] She meant in the shade free from the law
[02:52.37] Now I'm a slack-jaw leaning on a newspaper stand
[02:56.46] Papa bought a bullet 'bout as big as my hand
[03:00.09] We trapped a little hornet in a teacup for fun
[03:03.62] We cut off his head, we still got stung
[03:07.32] I think that Jesus said you reap just what you sow
[03:14.75] So I'm gonna take my white house, paint it gold
[03:23.47]
