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
