just to prove my love for you

i'd walk across kansas in a new york minute climb the colorado mountains in the fall

crawl through arizona like a flatland 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 mouth of sundays just to prove my love for you

i remember well the first time that i kissed you

cause the 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

now there ain't a livin' creature gonna evert come between us

i'd fight lions snakes and gorillas too

and if that ain't enough we'll start all over just to prove my love for 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 you back a hoop smoke ring

wrestle alligators in the okefenokee there's nothin' i wouldn't do

if you just say the word i'll catch that great speckled bird and bring it back to you

i remember well the first time. i'd walk across kansas in a new york minute.
