"Eden Before The Fall" by Lari White

Spanish moss drippin' from a live oak tree 
Mockin bird sittin' on a cypress knee 
Sweet 'ole 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 
Grandaddy reachin' down to take my hand 
Gonna go to the candy store 

Me & Jesus we was as 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
