Journey to the Center of Your Heart
Well, you walked that valley's grassy floor
And climbed that hilly ridge
You stood there naked stung with fear
And tippy-toed on the edge
Well, you swung on a vine
You crawled in the dirt and made
The river your best friend
You ate ev'rything from a skunk to perch
And filled me up with Zen
Well, you went to acapella
And you sang Acapulco, danced on a coin
You tied six Mexicans up in chains
Then hitch-hiked to Des Moines
You put the tube in the tub
When you joined a club
And took the soles off your shoes
But, baby, there's one thing you forgot to do
You got to love me
More than the trees and stars high above me
You got to love me
Love me
Love me all the time
If you wanna be mine
(whh heeewww)
Well, you turned my pockets inside out
And my inside upside down
Took fourteen reds and shaved your head and
Let a semi run you down
You filed your teeth and chromed your feet
Shot a fifteen under par
Prayed thirteen days in eighteen ways
Then gurued in a bar
Well you slipped me a Mickey
And you read James Dickey
Drank up all my wine
You did all that then drowned a bat
And bought a Wurlitzer on time
You ate barbecued stork with a spoon and a
Fork in a second hand fun'ral plot
But baby, there's one thing that you forgot
You got to love me
More than 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)
I've been alone a long time now
And it seems like forever
It's not that I wanna be
It's just that all them things in there
Together - bother me guess it's culture
Ahhhhhh if you'd only come back
Figure this thing out
I guess it keeps going on here
I'm runnin' outta breath, death
You got to love me
More than the trees and stars high above me
You got to love me
Love me
Love me all the time
