I'm just a southern gar no spar left to be had
|
Drifting on a current in the rain in a river bed
|
I been so long in this world
|
What I got left is all I need now.
|
|
They feel you in the till until the till runs dry
|
There's a waterdance going on and I wanna be there tonight
|
I want to Skip to My Lou to the dub step sound
|
Country kids gather round.
|
|
Chorus:
|
You want me to be the oyster that has the pearl
|
Oyster and pearl, oyster and pearl
|
But there ain't nothing like that in this girl
|
Baby all I need is a creek at dusk and dawn
|
In them muddy waters is where I want to be
|
found
|
Oh won't you build a fire with the sappy pine
|
Burn this vessel, scatter me around.
|
|
I wanna feel the rushes in my hair
|
I wanna see the Blackberries in the sun
|
I wanna hear the owl singing at night
|
I wanna know my Sweet Lord by and by.
|
|
I'm just a southern gar no spar left to be had
|
Drifting on a current in the rain in a river bed
|
Yeah I been so long in this world
|
All I got left is all I need now.
|
|
Chorus:
|
You want me to be the oyster that has the pearl
|
Oyster and pearl, oyster and pearl
|
But there ain't nothing like that in this girl
|
Yeah there ain't nothing like that in this girl
|
