Red Georgia Clay

He lives in a house on the edge of town
A beautiful wife and a storybook life
But still he ran around
The Georgia sunset leads the way
To his jaded prize bought with alibis
Under angry skies of gray
Red Georgia clay
Sticks to your boots in a curious way
When it's time for the night to confess to the day
Don't let it give you away
Don't let it give you away
She lives in a world of refracted light
Her hours pass through a cocktail glass
As her day turns into night
Scattered memories come and go
Like butterflies in forgotten skies
They flutter to and fro
Red Georgia clay
Sticks to your boots in a curious way
When it's time for the night to confess to the day
Don't let it give you away
Don't let it give you away

The summer rain comes down at last
Impassioned lovers drown their pain
In rivers deep and vast
Tomorrow fate reveals her hand
The deed's been done and the rising sun
Reveals the ravaged land
Red Georgia clay
Sticks to your boots in a curious way
When it's time for the night to confess to the day
Don't let it give you away
Don't let it give you away
I can't believe I'm standing here
With nothing to show but this empty glass
I lied to myself each passing year
How did the time go by so fast
Red Georgia clay
Sticks to your boots in a curious way
When it's time for the night to confess to the day
Don't let it give you away
Don't let it give you away
