Sweet Southern Moon
Written by Benjy Davis
Recorded by The Benjy Davis Project
There's a (C)break in the fence between the (G)sixth and seventh tree
Just (C)wide enough to fit an SU-(G)V
You can't (C)see it from the river road, it's (G)hidden by the leaves
But I'll (Am)show you if you promise that you (D)won't say anything
Take it (C)easy goin' up, spinnin' (G)tires will get you stuck
We'll be (C)right back down at the bottom of the (G)levee
Take it even (C)easier goin' down that grass stays (G)muddy all year round
But get goin' (C)fast at the path and keep it (G)steady
(Bridge)
(Am) I tell my parents we were (D)goin' to the movies, yeah
The (Am)movie in the middle of the (D)woods
(Chorus)
And we were (G)screamin' down the river road
(Em)Smilin' at the fadin' city (Am)lights in my rear (D)view
Lookin' for the (G)break in the (F#m)fence
That a (Em)few of my (D)friends and (C)I took a handsaw (D)to
We had (G)all the right in-(B)gredients for (Em)doin' (D)something (Am)new
Drank some (G)brews had a (Am)great time
Marinatin' in that (D)sweet, sweet southern (G)moon
Inst.: --- | (Em) | (Am) | (D) | (G) (F#m) | (Em) (D) | (C) | (C)
She was (G)pristine, I was (Em)fifteen, (Am) nothing to (D)lose
But my vir-(G)ginity and I (Em)did right there (Am) under that mag-(D)nolia tree
And I (G) don't re-(Em)member any-(Am)thing, I re-(D)member how she (G)felt
Lord, I re-(Em)member every-(Am)thing, I remember it (D)oh so well
(Bridge)
And I (Am) see her now runnin' barefoot down the (D)driveway
(Am)Jumpin' in my front seat in those (D)faded old PJ's
(Chorus)
We were (G)screamin' down the river road
(Em)Smilin' at the fadin' city (Am)lights in my rear (D)view
Lookin' for the (G)place she feels (F#m)safe, not a (Em)soul around
(D)lay a little (C)blanket down... woo woo (D)woo
We had (G)all the right in-(B)gredients for (Em)doin' (D)something (Am)new
Made my (G)move revved her (Am)upright
Marinatin' in that (D)sweet, sweet southern (G)moon
Inst.: --- | (Em) | (Am) | (D) | (G) (F#m) | (Em) (D) | (C) | (C)
Haven't been (G)here in a (Em)few years
(Am) So, I brought a-(D)long this old gui-(G)tar and a (Em)few beers
(Am) Guess I had a (D)feelin'
I'd write a (Am)song, sittin' here I can (D)hear that river echo
With the (Am)memories I'm glad I have, (D)I will never let go of
(Chorus)
(G)Screamin' down the river road
(Em)Smilin' at the fadin' city (Am)lights in my rear (D)view
Looking for the (G)break in the (F#m)fence
That a (Em)few of my (D)friends and (C)I took a handsaw (D)to
We had (G)all the right in-(B)gradients for (Em)doin' (D)something (Am)new
Drank some (G)brews, had a (Am)great time
Marinatin' in that (D)sweet, sweet summer
(G) Smokin' (Am)joints down by the river, stoned and (D)laughin' under
(G) You're in my (Am)heart; you are a part of me
You (D)sweet, sweet southern (G)moon
Inst.: --- | (Em) | (Am)Yeah, yeah yea yeah | (D)Yea, yeah yea yeah |
| (G) (F#m) | (Em) (D) | (C) | (C)
There's a (C)break in the fence between the (G)sixth and seventh tree
Just (C)wide enough to fit an SU-(G)V
