Pearls and Swine
Where the sweet Magnolia grows
There’s a river-bend I know
Where time ain’t nothin’ to kill
It’s a crazy river
It shakes and shivers
It’s a want that never will
Mona took a bus
To Las Vegas in a rush
‘Cause she could not stand the rain
In a fit of passion
Culture clashin’
The sunshine turned to rain
She sits and she wonders
How’d she get so far under
The spell of a wasted youth
Wasted time and that’s the truth
Oh Lord I’ve cast my pearls before the swine
You can ramble, you can roam
Disassemble and disown
You can take back everything you’ve had to say
But who can run
From number one
To live is to obey
I sit and I wonder
How’d I get so far under
The spell of a wasted youth
Wasted time and that’s the truth
Oh Lord I’ve cast my pearls before the swine
Oh Lord I’ve cast my pearls before the swine
