David Munyon: Savannah Purple
This Song is about a guy named Nick Perish,
In love with the woman of the evening, named Magnolia,
Also known in certain circles as Savannah Purple.
A most beautiful woman,
Who falls in love with Nick and they have to get away from her Pimp.
It takes place in 1929, in the town of Hopeless, Missisippi.
Your skin is like a rainbow, your green eyes are silent mistery
Why ain't life as simple, as his sharkskin suit?
You can hear the pavement ripple, from his snakeskin boots
Take me off this rollercoaster (!) Please, Savannah Purple
They say your daddy was a banker, spanish horse and fancy sattle
Gave your momma lots of money, then he skidaddled
Your touch is so electric, your lovely legs, should be illegal
Why ain't life as simple, as his sharkskin suit?
You can hear the pavement ripple, from his snakeskin boots
Take me off this rollercoaster (!) Please, Savannah Purple
Ohhhhhhh 2x
Is that rain, Magnolia honey? Do you hear the thunder rumble?
Is that rain, Magnolia honey? Can you hear the thunder rumble?
It is Philly's knife and shotgun, it might just be worth the gamble
Why ain't life as simple, as his sharkskin suit?
You can hear the pavement ripple, from his snakeskin boots
Take me off this rollercoaster (!) Please, Savannah Purple
Ohhhhhhh
Grays can give you sanctuary, we can hide beside the highway
If we move among the twilight, Angels will keep us in their mercy
Leave the shiny town behind us, you know love is always risky
Why ain't life as simple, as his sharkskin suit?
You can hear the pavement ripple, from his snakeskin boots
Take me off this rollercoaster (!) Please, Savannah Purple
