| Lyrics: | GUITARS INTRO)
well, you walked that valley's grassy floor and climbed that hillyridge
you
stood there naked stung with fear and tippy-toed on theedge
well, you swung on a vine, but
crawled in the dirt and made theriver your best friend
you ate ev'rything from a skunk to a
perch and filled me up withZen
well, you went to a capella and you sang Acapulco,
danced on acoin
you tied six Mexicans up in chains, then hitch-hiked to DesMoines
you put
the tube in the tub when you joined a club, and took thesoles off your shoes
but, baby, there's
one thing you forgot to do
you got to love me
more then the trees and stars
high above me
you got to love me,
love me,
love me all the time,
if you wanna be
mine
(whhheeeewww....)
well, you turned my pockets inside out and my inside
upsidedown
took fourteen reds and shaved your head and let a semi run youdown
you filed
your teeth and chromed your feet, shot a fifteen underpar
prayed thirteen days in eighteen ways
then gurued in a bar
well you slipped me a Mickey and you read James Dickey, drank
upall my wine
you did all that then drowned a bat and bought a Wurlitzer ontime
you ate
barbecued stork with a spoon and a fork in a second-handfun'ral plot,
but baby, there's one
thing that you forgot
you got to love me
more then the trees and stars high
above me
you got to love me,
love me,
love me all the time,
if you want to be
mine
(MANDOLIN SOLO)spoken during the mandolin solo
and the last chorus: I've been alone a long time now, and it seems like
foreverIt's not that I wanna beit's just that all them things in there, together - bother meguess
it's kosherahhhhhhhhif you'd only come backfigure this thing outI guess it keeps going on hereI'm
out of breath, yep... you got to love me
more then the
trees and stars high above me
you got to love me,
love me,
love me all the time. |
