Southern Greek Tragedy Lyrics

They had their children in the early eighties
First one was a girl they named Katie
With the cutest smile and the bluest eyes even known to man
Two years passed before she got her brother Sam
Sweet Savannah was number three
She was later named Emily
By a couple who saved her from the storm
Though she wasn't planned at least they let her be born

[Chorus:]
Call it a great travesty
Or a Southern Greek tragedy
It's alright
How could they know better?
To them it was a normal life

Well Katie when away when she was nine
Left her brother and mother and her daddy behind
She had to decide whether her or Sam would go
To live with their real dad; he wanted to watch one grow
So year after year, home after home
Sam was growing fast and growing alone
He was the friend everyone had that moved away
Well it gets so hard to try to fit in every day

[Chorus]

So from both the Carolinas down to southern Georgia
Sam's family nearly touched the coast of Florida
They traded the sea for Virginia's hillside
But your problems always find you no matter where you hide
Now late in the evening, round sundown
I remember those children riding around
On that Radio Flyer they never did wear out
Just waiting for them there back at a big yellow house

[Chorus x2]
