Letra de Summer in Savannah (Live KCRW Radio Session)
Summer in Savannah slows the jackrabbit down But I'm in your car and driving through town Mama's missing finger had a mind of its own And the dog that we lost keeps coming homeAnd now my hemp is hangin' 'round the soda machine And the birds don't move in the live oak trees Pounding on the table, Papa said I would learn That you take what you get, and you get what you earnAnd then he said you reap just what you sow So I'm gonna take my white house, paint it goldSummer in Savannah, where the breeze never blows But you laid on my lap and you wearing my clothes Mama told me lately she was praying for you So don't hit me just 'cause you're the best I can doAnd I'm a no-neck cursing at a color TV And the gaslight swirls with June bug wings Poundin' on the table, Papa said I would learn That you take what you get, and you get what you earnAnd then he said you reap just what you sow So I'm gonna take my white house, paint it goldSummer in Savannah takes a measure of faith So I'm under the bed and you're kissing my face When Mama told the cop that I was born in the cold She meant in the shade and free from the load (hey)And now I'm a 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 And we cut off its head, and we still got stungI think that Jesus said you reap just what you sow So I'm gonna take my white house, paint it goldThis next song is called "Half Moon" It's a little bit of a change of pace Especially because I haven't plugged the guitar in
