Southwood Plantation Road

[Verse 1]
I've got you
You've got whatever's left of me to get
Our conversations are like minefields
No one's found a safe way through one yet
I spend a lot of money
I buy you white gold
We raise up a little roof
Against the cold

[Chorus 1]
On Southwood Plantation Road
Where at night the stars blow like milk across the sky
Where the high wires drop
Where the fat crows fly

[Verse 2]
All night long you giggle and scream
Your brown eyes deeper than a dream
I am not gonna lose you
We are going to stay married
In this house like a Louisiana graveyard
Where nothing stays buried

[Chorus 2]
On Southwood Plantation Road
Where the dead will walk again
Put on your Sunday best
And mingle with unsuspecting Christian men
La la la la la
