I COULD WALK ACROSS KANSAS IN A NEW YORK MINUTE
|
CLIMB THE COLORADO MOUNTAINS IN THE FALL
|
CRAWL THROUGH ARIZONA LIKE A FLAT LAND LIZARD
|
IF I THOUGHT IT'D DO ME ANY GOOD AT ALL
|
I COULD SWIM LAKE ERIE WITH MY HANDS TIED BEHIND ME
|
EAT A WEST VIRGINIA COAL MINER'S SHOES
|
DRINK THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER IF IT TOOK A MONTH OF SUNDAYS
|
JUST TO PROVE MY LOVE TO YOU
|
|
CHORUS:
|
I REMEMBER WELL THE FIRST TIME I KISSED YOU
|
CUSS THINGS AIN'T BEEN THE SAME EVER SINCE
|
YOU GOT ME THINKIN' I COULD EAT A TEN-PENNY NAIL
|
AND SPIT OUT A BARBED WIRE FENCE
|
WELL THERE AIN'T A LIVING CREATURE GONNA EVER COME BETWEEN US
|
I FIGHT LIONS SNAKES AND GORILLAS TOO
|
IF THAT AIN'T ENOUGH I'D START IT ALL OVER
|
JUST TO PROVE MY LOVE TO YOU
|
|
I COULD RIDE MY PONY THROUGH THE EYE OF A HURRICANE
|
CLIMB MOUNT EVEREST ON A STRING
|
JUMP NIAGARA FALLS IN A BURNIN' BARREL
|
AND BRING YA BACK A HOOP SMOKE RING
|
WRESTLE ALLIGATORS IN THE OKEFENOKEE
|
THERE'S NOTHIN' THAT I WOULDN'T DO
|
IF YOU JUST SAY THE WORD
|
I'D CATCH THAT GREAT SPECKLED BIRD
|
AND BRING IT BACK TO YOU
|
|
CHORUS:
|
I REMEMBER WELL THE FIRST TIME I KISSED YOU
|
CUZ THINGS AIN'T BEEN THE SAME EVER SINCE
|
YOU GOT ME THINKING I COULD EAT A TEN-PENNY NAIL
|
AND SPIT OUT A BARBED WIRE FENCE
|
WELL THERE AIN'T A LIVING CREATURE GONNA EVER COME BETWEEN US
|
I FIGHT LIONS SNAKES AND GORILLAS TOO
|
IF THAT AIN'T ENOUGH I'D START IT ALL OVER
|
JUST TO PROVE MY LOVE TO YOU
|
|
I COULD WALK ACROSS KANSAS IN A NEW YORK MINUTE
|
CLIMB THE COLORADO MOUNTAINS IN THE FALL
|
CRAWL THROUGH ARIZONA LIKE A FLAT LAND LIZARD
|
IF I THOUGHT IT'D DO ME ANY GOOD AT ALL
|
I COULD SWIM LAKE ERIE WITH MY HANDS TIED BEHIND ME
|
EAT A WEST VIRGINIA COAL MINER'S SHOES
|
|
