Eden Before The Fall Lyrics - Lari White

Spanish moss drippin' from a live oak tree 

Mockin' bird sittin' on a cypress knee 

Sweet old sycamore blowin' in the breeze 

The slammin' of the screen door 

Ice cold creek and sugar white sand 

Pink azalea bloomin' like to beat the band 

Granddaddy reachin' down to take my hand 

Gonna go to the candy store 

Me and Jesus we was thick as thieves 

He washed me in the blood and lordy I believed 

And I gave him my heart at the altar call 

Back in Eden before the fall, Eden before the fall 

Coal black curls and a dimple in his chin 

A swagger in his walk and a sideways grin 

Even Elvis himself had nothin' on him 

The boy couldn't be denied 

His daddy's in the pulpit shoutin' fury and fire 

We're sneakin' out the back door behind the choir 

And it couldn't be wrong 'cause it was pure desire 

We were saved and sanctified 

Lyin' on a bed of magnolia leaves 

He said I was an angel Lord and I believed 

And I gave him my heart, Lord, I gave it all 

Back in Eden before the fall, Eden before the fall 

The apple tasted sweeter and the world was clean 

I could make sense out of everything 

Now it's just a beautiful dream I can't quite recall 

Just like Eden before the fall, Eden before the fall
