This is a story about a Southern belle named Savannah
Mae Huxtable
Who lives on a ranch outside Fort Worth Texas
She wears designer clothes and drives a shiny
new Lexus
Savannah Mae and her husband Billy Bob live at
her Grandpappys old family mansion
With eight bathrooms five bathrooms and ten staff
at her beck and call
It is no wonder that Savannah Mae feels like theĀ best
belle at the ball
But Savannah Mae is feeling so Goddamn lonely
Billy Bob is always with his wheeling and dealing
He hasn’t got a clue how Savannah Mae is feeling
When Savannah Mae is feeling a little down
She goes to her favourite part of the house
The huge entrance foyer
The walls are full of priceless originals
The room is full of classic sculptors
But her favourite is the Italian chandelier that hangs
from the ceiling
It seems to know how she is feeling
Savannah Mae sits on the palatial stairs
And watches that chandelier gleam
She just sits there and dreams her dream
One lonely tear slides down her face
Her dream is to be in a happy place
The chandelier senses her mood
Savannah Mae looks at that chandelier like she
is hypnotised
And slowly that tear drop dries
Billy Bob arrives home around midnight
Savannah Mae pretends to be asleep
But she cant resist having a little peep
Billy Bob is hiding something in the dressing table
drawer
Savannah Mae closes her eyes and dreams her
dream once more
About an hour later Savannah Mae is awoken by
movement in the bed
Billy Bob is lying beside her she smells a strange scent
in the air
It is coming from Billy Bob it is all through his hair
So Billy Bob is having an affair
Savannah Mae has suspected for a while now
All of his strange moods
Staying at work till late at night
But Savannah Mae wont give up her marriage
without a fight
Savannah Mae is distraught it is just as she thought
Billy Bob has taken her for a fool
If Billy Bob can have some southern comfort
Then so can she
She will find herself some bad company
Her bad company comes in the shape of ranch manager
Randy Axelrod
No words are exchanged just a simple nod
Savannah Mae is taken bent over the kitchen table
With no foreplay or even a kiss she is not ready
So the sex is painful and completely degrading
To Randy she is just a piece of meat
She drives home dripping blood onto the drivers seat
Arriving home she has a shower to wash away the shame
She hangs her head in remorse
But you cant turn back time of course
She sits on the stairs weeping some lonely tears
Staring up at that chandelier thinking about what she
has done
Thinking about what she has become
She goes up to her bedroom and tries to open the dressing
table but it is locked
What has Billy Bob hidden in there/
A gun condoms her his piece on the side
Savannahs Mae mind is going around and around
She has tried her best to be a good loving wife
So why is Billy Bob fooling around?
Savannah Mae is in the need of some more southern
comfort
This time it comes in the shape of a bottle of Scotch
Sitting on the stairs the lonely tears are flowing
And the chandelier is glowing
After about six glasses of the single Malt
She comes to the conclusion that everything is her fault
The chandelier whispers in her ear
Savannah Mae your time is here
Savannah Mae goes to her bed with the Scotch and a
bottle of pills
And one by one she swallows the lot
She closes her eyes and just slips away
She will never again she a Sunrise
Unless Billy Bob can save the day?
Billy Bob arrives home to find his wife comatose on the bed
An empty bottle of Scotch and pills by her head
He calls 911 and the paramedics arrive just in time
It is touch and go but they think that Savannah Mae will
be just fine
A few days later she gets home from the hospital
Frail but glad to be home
But what is in the dresser drawer?
She confronts Billy Bob about his affair and the locked
drawer
Billy Bob goes to the dresser and unlocks the drawer
And pulls out two tickets to London
A surprise for their tenth wedding anniversary
Savannah Mae doesn’t know what to say
How could she be so dumb?
She has let her emotions take over and then some
Billy Bob gets down on one knee and tells Savannah Mae
that ‘You are the only one for me forever and ever our hearts are
entwined until the end of time’
Savannah Mae and Billy Bob are now in a London suite renewing
their vows
They barely leave the room
Who needs Big Ben Buckingham Palace the Eye and the London
Tower
Cause we all know that love has the power
Back at home the chandelier whispers to an empty room
‘What about the smell of perfume?”
But that is another story
