Benjy Davis Project - Sweet Southern Moon lyrics

There's a break in the fence between the sixth and seventh tree Just wide enough to fit an SUV You can't see it from the river road; it's hidden by the leaves But I'll show you if you promise that you won't say anything Take it easy going up, spinning tires will get you stuck We'll be right back down at the bottom of the levee Take it even easier going down, that gra** stays muddy all year round But get going fast at the path and keep it steady I tell my parents we were going to the movies, yeah The movie in the middle of the woods And we were screaming down the river road Smiling at the fading city lights in my rear view Looking for the break in the fence That a few of my friends and I took a handsaw to We had all the right ingredients for doing something new Drank some brews, had a great time marinating In that sweet, sweet southern moon She was pristine, I was fifteen Nothing to lose but my virginity And I did right there under that magnolia tree And I don't remember anything, I remember how she felt Lord, I remember everything; I remember it oh so well And I see her now running barefoot down the driveway Jumping in my front seat in those faded old pj's We were screaming down the river road Smiling at the fading city lights in my rear view Looking for the place she feels safe, not a soul around Lay a little blanket down... woo woo woo We had all the right ingredients for doing something new Made my move, revved her up right Marinating in that sweet, sweet southern moon Haven't been here in a few years So I brought along this old guitar and a few beers Guess I had a feeling I'd write a song Sitting here I can hear that river echo With the memories I'm glad I have; I will never let go of Screaming down the river road Smiling at the fading city lights in my rear view Looking for the break in the fence That a few of my friends and I took a handsaw to We had all the right ingredients for doing something new Drank some brews, had a great time Marinating in that sweet, sweet summer Smoking joints down by the river, stoned and laughing under You're in my heart; you are a part of me You sweet, sweet southern moon There's a break in the fence between the sixth and seventh tree Just wide enough to fit an SUV
