Sweet Southern Moon
Benjy Davis Project

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 grass 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 upright

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
