Verse I
Saw you standing under a Street Light like you were casting spells
Saw you walking in a circle, and you were all alone
It was a Street Party, on a Savannah summer night
You really caught my eye I couldn?t shake you from my mind
You drew me from the Party, to be by your side
Curiosity killed the cat, honey catches flies and I was hypnotized

Verse II
I walked down to see you, as you circled round
Started asking questions, what was getting you down
The Party was breaking up so we took it on the road
You said you?d come along so I wouldn?t have to be alone.
Seven people in a Mustang you were sitting behind me
Talking in my ear, giving comfort to me

Chorus
I looked into your eyes and you reached my heart
Somehow we made connections, as we cruised on through that night
A boy from California, you were a sweet Southern Jewel
If your Daddy would have seen us, it would have sent him from this world
I was just a boomer you were a princess in his eyes
I was rough around the edges; you were his Diamond shinning bright

Verse III
We got back to my place and we talked to dawn
Don?t think I even kissed you, till I took you home.
Dropped you around the corner, so your Daddy wouldn?t see
Cause it would have killed him, to see the likes of me
A guy from California, with his precious Southern Jewel
But what he would never knew, we?d already traveled, around the world.

Chorus II Outro
I looked into you eyes, to reach the center of your soul
We would talk of dreams and travel to places we would go
We took some great adventures, traveled to exotic lands
Though we never left from our Savannah Sands we were walking hand in hand.
