Southwood Plantation Road Lyrics - Tallahassee - Mountain Goats

I got you 

You've got whatever's left in me to get 

Our conversations are like minefields 

No one's found a safe way through one yet 

I spent a lot of money 

I buy you white gold 

We raise up a little roof 

Against the cold 

On Southwood Plantation Road 

Where at night the stars blow like milk across the sky 

Where the high wires drop 

Where the fat crows fly 

All night long 

You giggle and scream 

Your brown eyes 

Deeper than a dream 

I am not gonna lose you 

We are gonna stay married 

In this house like a Louisiana graveyard 

Where nothing stays buried 

On Southwood Plantation Road 

Where the dead will walk again 

Put on their Sunday best 

And mingle with unsuspecting Christian men
