[Intro] Em9 Em (4x) [Verse 1]
Em9 Em                       Em9   Em
Summer in Savannah slows the jackrabbit down

Em9 Em              Em9   Em
But I'm in your car driving to town

Em9 Em                      Em9  Em
Mama's missing finger had a mind of its own

    Em9 Em                 Em9  Em
The dog that we lost keeps coming home
[Bridge] Em9 Em (4x) [Verse 2]
    Em9 Em                              Em9  Em
And now my health is hanging 'round the soda machine

        Em9   Em                Em9  Em
And the birds don't move in the live oak trees

Em9 Em                      Em9    Em
Pounding on the table, Papa said I would learn

    Em9  Em                   Em9 Em
You take what you get and you get what you earn
[Chorus 1]
Em9  Em Em11 Em*  C6/E Em*  Em11 Em9 Em
Then he said "You reap just what you sow"

   Em9 Em    Em11 Em* C6/E  Em*    Em11  Em9 Em
So I'm gonna take my  white house, paint it  gold
[Bridge] Em9 Em (4x) [Verse 3]
Em9 Em                       Em9  Em
Summer in Savannah where the breeze never blows

        Em9  Em        Em9  Em
But you laid on my lap wearing my clothes

Em9  Em                     Em9  Em
Mama told me lately she was praying for you

   Em9   Em                            Em9  Em
So don't hate me just cause you're the best I can do
[Bridge] Em9 Em (4x) [Verse 4]
    Em9   Em                   Em9   Em
And I'm a no-neck cursing at a color TV

        Em9   Em              Em9  Em
And the gas light swirls with June bug wings

Em9  Em                     Em9  Em
Staring at the ceiling Papa struggled to say

                      Em9  Em                   Em9   Em
"You'll find it's all such a drag but don't get carried away"
[Chorus 2]
Em9  Em Em11 Em*  C6/E Em*  Em11 Em9 Em
Someone said "You reap just what you sow"

   Em9 Em    Em11 Em* C6/E  Em*    Em11  Em9 Em
So I'm gonna take my  white house, paint it  gold
[Bridge] Em9 Em (4x) [Verse 5]
Em9  Em                    Em9  Em
Summer in Savannah takes a measure of faith

     Em9  Em              Em9   Em
From under the bed you're kissing my face

     Em9  Em                      Em9  Em
When Mama told the cop that I was born in the cold

    Em9   Em            Em9  Em
She meant in the shade, free from the load
[Bridge] Em9 Em (4x) [Verse 6]
          Em9  Em                Em9  Em
Now I'm a slack-jaw leaning on a newspaper stand

Em9  Em                       Em9    Em
Papa bought a bullet 'bout as big as my hand

   Em9  Em                      Em9  Em
We trapped a little hornet in a teacup for fun

   Em9  Em              Em9   Em
We cut off his head, we still got stung
[Chorus 3]
        Em9  Em    Em11   Em* C6/E Em*  Em11 Em9 Em
I think that Jesus said, "You reap just what you sow"

   Em9 Em    Em11 Em* C6/E  Em*    Em11  Em9 Em
So I'm gonna take my  white house, paint it  gold
[Outro] Em9 Em (16x)
