Lyrics
Jesse traveled a hundred miles one July afternoon from Savannah, Georgia, to South Carolina, just to see her for afar
Jesse, he traveled a hundred miles that July from Savannah across that state line into South Carolina. Her name was Anna, Anna Liz. She was once his little girl
When she grew up, she moved out. She left him so far behind
What are you doing here? I heard that you were dead. Can't you see? I'm finely dressed for vows and friends
Jesse, he awakes now from this terrible, terrible dream. Anna, by his side, he reaches for her. She pulls away
Jesse, he's been told the seed of betrayal will one day grow. By the harvest, harvest moon, restless hearts run away, so far away
What are you doing here? I heard that you were dead. Can't you see? I'm finally dressed for vows and friends
Jesse, he traveled a hundred miles that summer day from Savannah across that state line into South Carolina
Can you feel it? Will you hear it? Can you see it? It's in your heart. Will you know it? Always own it. Never lose it. It's in your soul. Will you give it one more try? Will you love me with all your might
Jesse traveled a hundred miles one July afternoon from Savannah, Georgia to South Carolina just to see her for afar
