Shooter Jennings - Sweet Savannah Lyrics

SO, IT COMES TO THE END OF THE DAY~
AND I'M CHECKING OUT OF MY HOTEL ROOM TODAY~
IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE I'VE SEEN YOUR FACE~
THE GIRL BESIDE ME REMINDS ME HOW YOU TASTE~
SINCE I'VE SEEN YOU, I'VE BEEN BEATEN DOWN AND BRUISED~
AND EVERYDAY I'M FEELING MORE AND MORE MISUSED~
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD BE WITHOUT YOUR LOVE~
YEARS GONE BY YOU'RE STILL THE ONE I'M THINKING OF~

~CHORUS~
SWEET SAVANNAH, YOU SHINE SO BRIGHT~
MAY THE EVENING BRING YOUR FAVORITE NIGHT~
SWEET SAVANNAH, YOU BEEN GONE SO LONG~
BUT I'VE GOT TO MOVE ON~

IT'S GETTIN' COLD, I PUT MY JACKET ON YOUR BACK~
WE SMOKE A CIGARETTE, THE LAST ONE IN THE PACK~
I STILL REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID~
THAT YOU HAD DEMONS THAT YOU COULDN'T PUT TO BED~
NOW I'M LEAVING, YEAH, I'M MOVING OUT WEST~
AND IT'S TIME FOR US TO LAY OUR HISTORY TO REST~
I STILL REMEMBER A TEARDROP IN YOUR EYE~
BUT YOU KNOW I COULDN'T STAND TO SEE YOU CRY~

~REPEAT CHORUS~

SO I CLOSE ON THIS HOLLYWOOD NIGHT~
WHERE THIS COUNTERCULTURE CULTIVATES AN EMPTINESS INSIDE~
WOULD IT BE DIFFERENT IF YOU WERE STILL HERE IN MY LIFE~
WOULD I BE SOBER, AND WOULD YOU BE MY WIFE?~

~CHORUS~
SWEET SAVANNAH, YOU SHINE SO BRIGHT~
MAY THE EVENING BE YOUR FAVORITE NIGHT~
SWEET SAVANNAH, YOU BEEN GONE SO LONG~
BUT I'VE GOT TO BE MOVING ON~
