her and the banks

hair like the sun

and eyes just as green as the ridge line we'd walk

scannin' the trees for the wave of a tail

a shake of the leaves

lord i'd give the world for a sight of those things

hands just as soft

as skin on the fruit

that breaks down the branch

'neath the bluest of moons

lord we'd eat til we's sick

and grab all we could hold

then we'd run through the yard

with the fruit that we'd stole

and her love makes me feel like i'm home

keeps me good company wherever i go

when i'm smilin' it's her and the banks

the big sandy river that colors my face

love just as strong

as lawrence county shine

it'll mow ya right down

it'll make ya go blind

i would ruin my life

and use up all my pay

just to have her tonight

just her and the banks

her love makes me feel like i'm home

keeps me good company wherever i go

when i'm smilin' it's her and the banks

the big sandy river that colors my face
