Savannah

On the banks of the delta

I looked to the water

And I tried to feel thankful

For the things that I oughta

Well I sat there for hours

And the tide came and went

And I found a conviction

For a purposeful death

I wanna die in Savannah

I wanna love a good woman

I wanna work with my hands some

Until I build me a fortune

And then when I'm good and ready

And not a moment too soon

Lay me down in the river

In the late afternoon

In the late afternoon

On the banks of the delta

I looked to the water

And I tried to feel thankful

For the things that I oughta

Well I sat there for hours

And the tide came and went

And I found a conviction

For a purposeful death

I wanna die in Savannah

I wanna love a good woman

I wanna work with my hands some

Until I build me a fortune

And when I'm good and ready

And not a moment too soon

Lay me down in the river

In the late afternoon

In the late afternoon
