[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]
