Lyrical Analysis of...

The Night the Lights Went Out In Georgia Feat. Reba McEntire

  1. (Verse1 SimpleSly)
  2. There was a man came home from Candletop
  3. He was gone for two weeks and he just makes a stop
  4. At a downtown bar to drink some whiskey and rum
  5. To go home to his chick because was on the run
  6. Meanwhile, a guy named Andy came to him
  7. As he said what's up as his face was grim
  8. Because he had some bad news and it's about this girl
  9. And what he didn't know that was gonna hurt
  10. He's like you're my homie and that's the truth
  11. I'm not a snitch and I wouldn't make you choose
  12. But I heard that your girl went with a man named Seth
  13. And that's when his face just turned beet red
  14. He said calm down man don't lose your head
  15. Acting like big and bad and end up dead
  16. It's like playing a deadly game of chess
  17. And to tell you the truth I've been with her myself
  18.  
  19. (Reba McEntire Chorus)
  20. That's the night when the lights went out in Georgia
  21. That's the night they hung an innocent man
  22. Don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
  23. Cause the judge in this town has bloodstains on his hand
  24.  
  25. (Verse2 lil_cruz)
  26. You see Andy was scared cause he pissed him off
  27. As he ran back to his house like little Rudolph
  28. He doesn't have any friends and he just lost one
  29. Hell, he was just only twenty one
  30. My Brother, on the other hand, he has other plans
  31. He wanna end this shit just like a man
  32. So he went into his drawer and got daddy's gun
  33. And slip into the night for 3 hours and gone
  34. Quit being a little bitch
  35. I promise you I won't snitch
  36. make sure you don't say anything they'll use anything against you
  37. Then they will not know you be lying and you're there looking like a fool
  38. Just do what I say
  39. And act like everything is ok
  40. don't do things your way
  41.  
  42. (Reba McEntire bridge)
  43. Well, the Georgia Patrol was a'makin' their rounds
  44. So he fired a shot just to flag 'em down
  45. And a big bellied sheriff got his gun and said "why'dya do it?
  46.  
  47. (lil_cruz bridge)
  48. Then the judge said hes guilty in a bullshit trial
  49. Slapped the sheriff in the back with a crooked smile
  50. And said suppers is ready as an excuse
  51. With no leads, no witness, and no clues
  52.  
  53. (Reba McEntire Chorus)
  54. That's the night when the lights went out in Georgia
  55. That's the night they hung an innocent man
  56. Don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
  57. Cause the judge in this town has bloodstains on his hand
  58.  
  59. (Verse3 SimpleSly)
  60. So they hung your Brother before you can say
  61. The tracks he found when he's on his way
  62. To Andy's house and back, that night was not his
  63. (lil_cruz)
  64. That cheating bitch never did leave town
  65. And that's one body that will never be found
  66. Cause you see, little sister never misses when she aims her gun(So you did this?????? Shhhhhhh!)
