Aw Heck (Live)

[Intro]

This is a song I wrote when I was in the army in Germany. I was sitting on my bunk making up the words to this one night. This buddy of mine from Louisiana walked in and sat on the bunk across from me and started listening to the words I was writing. I guess he felt they struck him kinda funny. So he slapped his leg and said, "Aw heck." So I put that in the song and made him a songwriter too.

[Verse 1]

Well, I could be as happy as a sardine in a can

Just as long as I got my woman

Yeah, I could run stark naked and live in an old oak tree

Just as long as she's with me

My woman

[Verse 2]

Well, the cannibals can catch me and fry me in a pan

Just as long as I got my woman

Yeah, I could get the electric chair for a phony rap

Just as long as she's a-sittin' in my lap

My woman

[Bridge]

I'd run a milе just to see her smile

And put her lovin' arms around my nеck, aw heck!

Well, my spine starts a-tingling and them bells start a-ringing

When she's with me, can't you see?

[Verse 3]

They could torture me and stretch me like a rubber band

Just as long as I got my woman

Yeah, I could jump off a cliff and never have no fear

Just as long as she is near

My woman
