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

(GUITARS INTRO) Well, you walked that valley's gra**y 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 (whhheeeewww....) 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) [spoken during the mandolin solo and the last Chorus:] 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 Ahhhhhhhh If you'd only come back Figure this thing out I guess it keeps going on here I'm runnin' outta breath, d**h... 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...
