I was smiling like a boy that just stole shit
When you told me you'd hold it
My late mama's ring
And I'd sneak away at the end of each day
To write sonnets for you I could sing
It was cold in October
When you rolled yourself over
To pull on my shoulder to say
It took a mighty long time and too much wasted wine
To find a man who looks at me this way
But I'd fight any roughneck, I'd stop any river
If it meant that I could just lie here forever
In the grips of a woman
Sends shivers down spines
Makes you recall your forgotten good times
When you wake in the morning
To the sound of me snoring
My ragged face by your side
I pray that you know
All my dreams and my hopes
Have you holding me the day that I die
And I know I'm nothing but I am not bluffing
When I say you're meant for the sky
'Cause beauty that holy and a heart so kind
Deserves a place it can fly
But I'd fight any roughneck I'd stop any river
If it meant that I could just lie here forever
In the grips of a woman
Sends shivers down spines
It makes you recall your forgotten good times
Yeah, I'd fight any roughneck I'd stop any river
If it meant that I could just lie here forever
In the grips of a woman
Sends shivers down spines
It makes you recall your forgotten good times
I was smiling like a boy that just stole shit
When you told me you'd hold it
My late mama's ring
And I'd sneak away at the end of each day
To write sonnets for you I could sing
