Savannah Road Written by Brigitte DeMeyer and Will Kimbrough ©2013 Brigitte DeMeyer Music Rows and rows of peaches grow Weeds of purple Line the road Yonder field in lazy June Push that plow ‘Til you see the moon See the moon Oh Savannah, Oh Savannah Road Take me with you, take me where you go Fill the barrels Pick the fruit Shake the trees Clear to the roots Nightfall meadow Raise the fire It’s coming down So cool tonight, cool tonight Oh Savannah, Oh Savannah road Take me with you Take me where you go Back where I belong Can you hear me calling To my childhood home OOHHHHH OH Savannah, Oh Savannah Road Take me with you Take me where you go OH Savannah, Oh Savannah Road 2. Say You Will Be Mine Written by Brigitte DeMeyer and Will Kimbrough ©2013 Brigitte DeMeyer Music Say you will be mine tonight Say you will be mine Words unspoken in the air have Got me on the line Ride against a shooting star To the field below Meet me there at half past dark and Time will let us know You can sing it out loud You can whisper down low Tell it to me pretty baby Tell it to me slow Put this heart in your hand so fine No matter what the consequences say that you’ll be mine oh Say that you’ll be mine Are you thinking what I’m thinking Do we both agree Like the moon above so bright could you Take a shine to me You can sing it out loud You can whisper down low Tell it to me pretty baby Tell it to me slow Put this heart in your hand so fine No matter what the consequences say that you’ll be mine oh Say that you’ll be mine You can take your own sweet time But say that you’ll be mine You can sing it out loud You can whisper down low Tell it to me pretty baby Tell it to me slow Put this heart in your hand so fine No matter what the consequences say that you’ll be mine oh Say that you’ll be mine 3. Boy’s Got Soul Written by Brigitte DeMeyer and Will Kimbrough ©2013 Brigitte DeMeyer Music Run like a waterfall No shoes on your feet Lo, underneath it all Rolling in the deep Though you’re not a lonely one And everybody’s kind Sing now the day is done Your scrapyard lullaby Just one look I can see Boy’s got soul Boy’s got me Dirt on the mission floor Down upon your knees Warm from the night before Sunday never leaves Though you may forget yourself Your heart’s on your sleeve Just one look I can see Boy’s got soul Boy’s got me 4.

Big Man’s Shoes Lyrics by Brigitte DeMeyer Music by Brigitte DeMeyer and Chris Donohue ©2013 Brigitte DeMeyer Music Seven o’clock, ol’ gypsy dog sits barking at the sun Drop of a nail, chasing his tail just like it was his master calling Dinner is frying, he’s muddy lying, on the pavement floor Scratching at an itching that’ll linger ever more Nothing ordinarily blue about what he seeks Sitting there waiting, waiting for you, faithfully If only to be If only to be sitting, right there next to you If only to be walking Walking in the big man’s shoes Fetching and running, hound river country Oh it never grows old If only to reach you, swinging gate greet you Oh his world would be gold Hour is nearing, heart’s growing weary, oh but never for long The sound of your footsteps is his favorite song Lays his finest down there at your feet Sitting there waiting, waiting for you faithfully If only to be If only to be sitting, right there next to you If only to be walking Walking in the big man’s shoes 6.

Home Ground Written by Brigitte DeMeyer and Will Kimbrough ©2013 Brigitte DeMeyer Music Distant and bittersweet Arms of the home I seek Dust underneath my long running heels Carry me o’er the sea Home ground That’s where I wanna be Back to the place Where I hear my father Speak to me I found, there’s nothing out of reach Long as I know I can back down to Home ground Wayward and weary boy Restless upon the shore Wing and a prayer gonna carry him free There ‘neath the willow tree Home ground That’s where I want to be Back to the place Where I hear my father Speak to me I found, there’s nothing out of reach Long as I know I can back down to Home ground 10.
