She Can’t Give It Away Lyrics by Barbara Fairchild

Free & Easy

1977

She stands there in the doorway of a cheap hotel
And both have seen their days
At one time Southern beauty fill her eyes
But now there's just a trace
Sometimes, for almost nothing, she offers her love to passers-by
She's an old and fading sunset that once lit up the whole Savannah sky
It's still there upon her lips
In the movement of her hips
And though she's twenty years past a lady
Her love once was in demand
It bought diamonds for her hands
But now she can't give it away
In a big Chicago mansion lies a man with a woman he don't love
But his thoughts go back to a pretty Georgia girl
When all he had was not enough
He remembers all the good times and the pleasures she gave him in the night
God, he loved that woman that once lit up the whole Savannah sky
It's still there upon her lips
In the movement of her hips
And though she's twenty years past a lady
Her love once was in demand
It bought diamonds for her hands
But now she can't give it away
Now she can't give it away
