Lari White - Eden Before the Fall lyrics

Spanish moss drippin' from a live oak tree Mockin bird sittin' on a cypress knee Sweet 'ole sycamore blowin' in the breeze The slammin' of the screen door Ice cold creek and sugar white sand Pink azalea bloomin' like to beat the band Grandaddy reachin' down to take my hand Gonna go to the candy store Me and Jesus we was as thick as thieves He washed me in the blood and lordy I believed And I gave him my heart At the altar call Back in Eden before the fall Eden before the fall Coal black curls and a dimple in his chin A swagger in his walk and a sideways grin Even Elvis himself had nothin' on him The boy couldn't be denied His daddy's in the pulpit shoutin' fury and fire We're sneakin' out the back door behind the choir And it couldn't be wrong 'cause it was pure desire We were saved and sanctified Lyin' on a bed of magnolia leaves He said I was an angel lord and I believed And I gave him my heart Lord I gave it all Back in Eden before the fall Eden before the fall The apple tasted sweeter and the world was clean I could make sense out of everything Now it's just a beautiful dream I can't quite recall Just like Eden before the fall Eden before the fall
