Transcript
00:00With a twang of a banjo and a fiddle so sweet
00:24Let's roll on down the road, feel that southern beat
00:30The sun's setting low, it's a southern night
00:35Let me tell you about a game called Tit for Tat, alright
00:40Down in the hollow where the magnolias grow
00:44Lived a girl named Mary with a heart full of soul
00:49She loved a boy named Joe who was good with a guitar
00:54But that rascal, he had a wandering star
00:59They danced through the seasons, sung in sweet tunes
01:06But when he strayed away, she was left with the blues
01:11It's a tit for tat, baby that's the game we play
01:17You love me today, but then you stray away
01:22One step forward, two steps back
01:27In this southern life, it's always tit for tat
01:32Mary took to heart the wisdom of the wise
01:40She sharpened her spirit, took off her disguise
01:44She picked up her banjo, strumming through the pain
01:50Vowed she'd give him a taste of his own reign
01:55Late nights in the tavern, singing those songs
02:02While Joe stayed wondering where he went wrong
02:06It's a tit for tat, baby that's the game we play
02:10You love me today, but then you stray away
02:15One step forward, two steps back
02:20In this southern life, it's always tit for tat
02:26But in this life, a back and forth as it often goes
02:32Sometimes you find a heart that truly knows
02:36Stitches come in and fire can ignite
02:40When you find your way back in the moonlight
02:46Now Joe, he's realized what's been on the line
03:00He found a little old tune that he'd never define
03:06He brought back a rose and spoke soft and clear
03:12Mary, I'm sorry, let's leave behind the fear
03:16They danced on the porch under stars shining bright
03:22Fiddle and banjo playing into the night
03:28It's a tit for tat, baby that's the game we play
03:34But love can rise up and chase the dark away
03:38One step forward, one step back
03:43In this southern life, let's turn it to love, not lack
03:50So next time you paddle down the creek of fate
03:54Remember love's a dance, don't you hesitate
03:58If a cat isn't just burning bridges, I fear
04:04It's reaching for love when the end's drawn near
04:09With bells and banjos and the moon shining bright
04:15Let's take on the world
04:18In this southern night
04:22We'll be right back
04:52To be continued...
