Savannah's Song

With eyes that could pierce the darkness
a heart as good as gold
I can’t really say that i know you
But bigger lies have told

You got a taste for beer and silence
Though some have called you loud
But the moment you took my arm
Don’t think I’d ever felt more proud

Proud to be a man
Worth protecting one like you
and i know you don’t need protecting
But hell it made me feel brand new

well whiskeys’ made for thinkin’
wine is ripe for song
And beer is made for making friends
And rightin’ any wrongs

well Savannah you’re the finest woman
I have ever known
I wish that I’d have noticed
Whenever you came back home

I had a dream just last evening
about a talk we had so close
that I could taste the wine on your breath
And the thoughts you keep so closed

But I knew that I was dreaming
Cause wine is sure to make you choke
And i was just alone as when i went to bed
When i awoke

Savannah you’re the finest woman
I have ever met
Any chance i get to see you
Is a damn sure well placed bet

So I’ll head out to Colorado or to Utah
or to the bottom of a bottle
on a boat in Biloxi Bay

To manifest the dream
I have of being ten feet tall
Like some kind of superman
With his back against the wall

Well Savannah you’re the finest woman
I have ever known
And I wish that I’d have noticed
whenever you came back home

So here’s to hoping I’ll find you in this darkness
here’s to knowing you might hear this song
heaven only knows the biggest lies I have sold
Well Savannah you’d be one that I’d have told
