Mountain Girl Blues

I was inching south, seeking work and raising hell
When I first met her mountain eyes
As a smile approached her mouth
In that moment i could tell
I wouldn't mind giving her a ride
So we splashed through the river
We blew like the breeze
Got burned
Playing in her fire
As she welcomed me inside, Lord I know I had arrived
Mountain girls love a little higher

So hey pretty baby shine your light on me
Then give me cover like the willow tree
You know I love the way you smile
As I twirl you around
Even though i gotta be leaving town
Hey witchy lady put me under your spell
The one that's not quite heaven, sure ain't hell
I've got steel toed lovin' nothing to lose
For i know you'll soon be leaving with the mountain girl blues

I was headed out of Texas back to Tennessee
I was feeling like a shell of yesterday
All i wanna be is the worlds best friend
The kind that gives and takes away
From the birds and the witches and the fishes in the trees
You know, everything's on fire
So darling kiss me when you can
For you know if understand
Mountain girls love a little higher, yes they do

So hey pretty baby shine your light on me
Then give me cover like the willow tree
You know I love the way you smile
As I twirl you around
Even though i gotta be leaving town
Hey witchy lady put me under your spell
The one that's not quite heaven, sure ain't hell
I've got steel toed lovin' nothing to lose
For I know you'll soon be leaving with the mountain girl blues
