written and performed by Of Gentlemen & Cowards

lyrics

In a humid little southern town
Beside the creek where the children play
With the dark about to settle down
The young 'Sippi seemed to lose her way
Run home Georgia, Papa's waiting for you

Nobody stopped to help the girl who cried
They heard the laughing and walked away
It would pass right across their eyes
Blindfolded by their southern ways
Run home Georgia

Pour me a glass from your finest tiers
Tonight, tonight we'll skip the meals
­My hunger lies elsewhere
Tonight, tonight I have no fear

Well the father took upon himself
To show them boys how debt'd be paid
Grabbed the whisky and the gun on the shelf
Taught the boys the American way
Run home Georgia

Pour me a glass from your finest tiers
Tonight, tonight we'll skip the meals
­My hunger lies elsewhere
Tonight, tonight I have no fear

In a world coloured black and white
The father knew what the judge would say
Two boys born of rich and right
Against a poor a Mississippi slave
Who says when the system's tight
You won't live to see another day
Two boys born of rich and right
Against a poor a Mississippi

Pour me a glass from your finest tiers
Tonight, tonight we'll skip the meals
­My hunger lies elsewhere
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight I have no fear

Through it all, Of Gentlemen & Cowards persevered, and this young band’s brand of optimistic, well-crafted soulful rock is borne from its experiences, both good and bad. ... more
