Lyrics

Oh Savannah

Well, your father lends us a car
If we just won't go too far
And we always seem to come home late
Isn't that funny?

Well, your family is so afraid
'Cause our love keeps growing stronger
And they really don't want us
To carry on any longer

Oh Savannah, Savannah, Savannah
Oh, you've taken my heart
Oh Savannah, Savannah
We can make a new start now
This situation is tearing us apart

Oh Savannah, Savannah, Savannah
Oh, you know we can't wait
Oh Savannah, Savannah
'Cause it might be too late if we wait any longer

Oh Savannah
Oh Savannah

You call me on the phone
And you tell me how you're so lonely
But my Daddy won't let me leave home
On account of you, on account of you

Well, you know, well, you know
You know that we've talked this thing over before
Where can we go? Where can we go?
We can run away, we can run away, we can run

Savannah, Savannah, Savannah
Oh, you've taken my heart
Oh Savannah, Savannah
We can make a new start now
This situation is tearing us apart

Oh Savannah, Savannah, Savannah
Oh, you know we can't wait
Oh Savannah, Savannah
'Cause it might be too late, oh Savannah, yeah

Savannah, Savannah
We can run away
Oh Savannah, Savannah
We can run away

Savannah, Savannah
We can run away
Oh Savannah, Savannah
We can run away

We can run away
We can run away
We can run away
We can run away
