[00:16.36]Summer in Savannah slowed the jackrabbit down
[00:19.91]But I'm in your car driving to town
[00:23.61]Mama's missing finger had a mind of its own
[00:26.91]And the dog that we lost keeps coming home
[00:37.39]And now my health is hanging round a soda machine
[00:41.13]And the birds don't move in the live oak trees
[00:44.89]Pounding on the table Papa said I would learn
[00:48.19]You take what you get and you get what you earn
[00:52.08]Then he said you reap just what you sow
[00:59.18]So I'm gonna take my white house, paint it gold
[01:09.92]Summer in Savannah where the breeze never blows
[01:13.32]But you laid on my lap wearing my clothes
[01:17.12]Mama told me lately she was praying for you
[01:20.37]So don't hate me just cause you're the best I can do
[01:30.66]And I'm a no-neck cursing at a color TV
[01:34.30]And the gas light swirls with junebug wings
[01:38.43]Pounding on the table Papa said I would learn
[01:41.94]You take what you get and you get what you earn
[01:45.69]Then he said you reap just what you sow
[01:52.76]So I'm gonna take my white house, paint it gold
[02:10.37]
[02:24.74]Summer in Savannah takes a measure of faith
[02:28.12]From under the bed you're kissing my face
[02:32.02]When Mama told the cop that I was born in the cold
[02:35.36]She meant in the shade free from the law
[02:47.37]Now I'm a slack-jaw leaning on a newspaper stand
[02:51.69]Papa bought a bullet 'bout as big as my hand
[02:54.93]We trapped a little hornet in a teacup for fun
[02:58.45]We cut off his head, we still got stung
[03:01.85]I think that Jesus said you reap just what you sow
[03:09.35]So I'm gonna take my white house, paint it gold
[03:30.40]
