just to prove my love to you

i could walk across kansas in a new york minute

climb the colorado mountains in the fall

crawl through arizona like a flat land lizard

if i thought it'd do me any good at all

i could swim lake erie with my hands tied behind me

eat a west virginia coal miner's shoes

drink the mississippi river if it took a month of sundays

just to prove my love to you

i remember well the first time i kissed you

cuss things ain't been the same ever since

you got me thinkin' i could eat a ten-penny nail

and spit out a barbed wire fence

well there ain't a living creature gonna ever come between us

i fight lions snakes and gorillas too

if that ain't enough i'd start it all over

just to prove my love to you

i could ride my pony through the eye of a hurricane

climb mount everest on a string

jump niagara falls in a burnin' barrel

and bring ya back a hoop smoke ring

wrestle alligators in the okefenokee

there's nothin' that i wouldn't do

if you just say the word

i'd catch that great speckled bird

and bring it back to you

i remember well the first time i kissed you

'cause things ain't been the same ever since

you got me thinking i could eat a ten-penny nail

and spit out a barbed wire fence

well there ain't a living creature gonna ever come between us

i fight lions snakes and gorillas too

if that ain't enough i'd start it all over

just to prove my love to you

i could walk across kansas in a new york minute

climb the colorado mountains in the fall

crawl through arizona like a flat land lizard

if i thought it'd do me any good at all

i could swim lake erie with my hands tied behind me

eat a west virginia coal miner's shoes
