Chorus
Pour me a drink Savannah
Augusta's dancing slow
Lips to my ear runs her hand through my hair
The sun set along time ago, the sun set along time ago

Verse
Railroad tracks and old silo
My farm is broken down
Tractor in the back all covered in rust
Because my crops won't grow

Verse
They said my ground is barren
From chemical seed and spray
With three hungry mouths pining for food
I'll toil the soil anyway

Chorus
Pour me a drink Savannah
Augusta's dancing slow
Lips to my ear runs her hand through my hair
The sun set along time ago, the sun set along time ago

Verse
Spring turned to summer
Still my crops won't grow
I borrowed all the money that I could
But the bank won't lend anymore

Verse
So I lost my deed to the farm
They drove me from my land
We're living down at the shelter
Unemployment line is where I stand

Chorus
Pour me a drink Savannah
Augusta's dancing slow
Lips to my ear runs her hand through my hair
The sun set along time ago, the sun set along time ago

Verse
I gave my wife some money
So she could get away
I loaded my kids up on to the train
And I said I'll see you all someday

Verse
But winter came a rollin'
By my shelter door
And I got so drunk that I lost my way home
And froze out in the cold

Chorus
Pour me a drink Savannah
Augusta's dancing slow
Lips to my ear runs her hand through my hair
The sun set along time ago, the sun set along time ago

Pour me a drink Savannah
Pour me a drink Savannah
Pour me a drink Savannah
