<\/p>\nAuthor’s Note: An update for your eyes.<\/p>\n
-Marlow<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Been livin under the soft glow of Savannah lights and its boutique hotels
\nAnd, away from old streetlamps dwells a southern mademoiselle
\nWell, it takes victims to the river where it casts its spell
\nAnd, under the empire moonlight it sings a song so well
\nIf you’ll be its lovin kitten, it’ll be your lovin lamb
\nAnd you can walk together down in this marshland
\nDown in empire land<\/p>\n
Well, you\u2019ll make all the hot spots — your money\u2019ll flow like wine
\nAnd then that up town bourbon whiskey will fog your mind
\nAnd you won\u2019t remember church bells or the money you put down
\nOn the cast iron fence and house on the good side of downtown
\nOh, but boy do you remember the strain of its refrain
\nAnd the nights you spent together, and the way it whispered your name
\nIf you’ll be its lovin kitten, it’ll be your lovin lamb
\nAnd you can walk together down in this marshland
\nDown in empire land<\/p>\n
Well, it’s been year or so since your money and health went away
\n— guess them blues players sure could play
\nIt always liked to sing along — it was always handy with a song
\nThen one night in the lobby of some small boutique hotel
\nChanced to meet a bartender who said he knew it well
\nAnd as he handed me a drink he began to hum a song
\nAnd me and the boys there at the bar began to sing along
\nIf you’ll be its lovin kitten, it’ll be your lovin lamb
\nAnd you can walk together down in this marshland
\nDown in empire land<\/p>\n

There was a time in Georgia I didn’t feel just right
\nI had coughs, huffn and puffn at night
\nNow things got worse, I was in a serious bind
\nAt times like this it takes docs with such style one cannot often find
\nDoctors of the heart, lungs and mind
\nIf I wanna live in this country with its boogie beat, need some docs to meet
\nNot liken the sounds of my shufflin feet nor my heartbeat
\nI wanna feel real nice, so I asked the lung and heart doctors\u2019 advice
\nEmpire\u2019s just a small county place but patients come
\nFrom St Mary\u2019s to Hilton Head from many miles around
\nBrunswick to Darien
\nIn beat-up old cars n’ screamin machines
\nTo meet these docs of heart n lungs, each got his very own thing
\nTwo degrees in heart be-bops, a PHD in breathin swings
\nOne\u2019s the master of heart rhythms other is a breathin king
\nIf I wanna live in this country these docs are the ones to meet
\nSince I like this place country and its boogie beat they\u2019re the ones to meet (they\u2019re the docs to meet)
\nIf I . . . if I wanna
\nIf I wanna feel real nice, gotta ask the lung and heart docs\u2019 advice<\/p>\n
————————————–<\/p>\n
Well I’m waitin for something to take place
\nSomething to take away my bad heart n lung race
\nGet me back bar to bar, place to place
\nNo more runnin around in the mud in the shoes of a clown
\nAnd that desperate, no count, desperado
\nA thief of my night life love, my business\u2019s the street
\nNot liken this shakin me down
\nThis damn old deperado
\nFlorida’s nice, but Georgia’s oh so sweet
\nStole me away with my darlin W, whose lovin just can’t be beat
\nSo it seems that my world keeps on turnin but so what
\nI don’t doubt it, it just keeps me n her on the move
\nShe\u2019s a dream, and that’s all that I asked for
\nSo well now, I’m wonderin just how I’m gonna tell it to you
\nNot gonna skin it back (not skin it back)<\/p>\n
Somethin real, need somethin to feel
\nMaybe these docs can find me a drug that’ll take on this mess
\nIt’s my rock and roll hours, early graves without flowers
\nPlease, please, docs, put my mind at rest
\nI’m beggin, please, docs, put my body back at its best
\nSo, I\u2019m back with that the world that keeps on turnin
\nDon’t doubt it, it just keeps on the move
\nIt\u2019s been a dream, and that’s all that I askin’ you for
\nSo I’m gonna tell it to you
\nNot gonna skin it back (not skin it back)
\nNot gonna skin it back (not skin it back)
\nNot gonna skin it back (not skin it back)
\nNot gonna skin it back (not skin it back)<\/p>\n
