The Ozark Mountain Daredevils

The Ozark Mountain Daredevils - Journey to the Center of Your Heart lyrics

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.
