Alabama Nova 

Your house is depressing Your house is dirty Why don't you come outside a little while Why don't you step out into the sun Let me take you down Let me ease you around Montgomery

And out there on the front porch Your hair shines in the sun And I can see the sun gathering on your eyes What the hell are you looking at Let me take you down Let me ease you around Montgomery

from Nothing for Juice (1996)
