Journey to the Center of Your Heart

Well, you walked that valley's grassy floor
And climbed that hilly ridge

You stood there naked stung with fear
And tippy-toed on the edge

Well, you swung on a vine
You crawled in the dirt and made
The river your best friend

You ate ev'rything from a skunk to perch
And filled me up with Zen

Well, you went to acapella
And you sang Acapulco, danced on a coin
You tied six Mexicans up in chains
Then hitch-hiked to Des Moines

You put the tube in the tub
When you joined a club
And took the soles off your shoes

But, baby, there's one thing you forgot to do

You got to love me

More than the trees and stars high above me

You got to love me

Love me

Love me all the time

If you wanna be mine

(whh heeewww)

Well, you turned my pockets inside out
And my inside upside down

Took fourteen reds and shaved your head and
Let a semi run you down

You filed your teeth and chromed your feet
Shot a fifteen under par

Prayed thirteen days in eighteen ways
Then gurued in a bar

Well you slipped me a Mickey
And you read James Dickey
Drank up all my wine

You did all that then drowned a bat
And bought a Wurlitzer on time

You ate barbecued stork with a spoon and a
Fork in a second hand fun'ral plot

But baby, there's one thing that you forgot

You got to love me

More than the trees and stars high above me

You got to love me

Love me

Love me all the time

If you want to be mine

(MANDOLIN SOLO)

I've been alone a long time now
And it seems like forever
It's not that I wanna be
It's just that all them things in there
Together - bother me guess it's culture
Ahhhhhh if you'd only come back
Figure this thing out
I guess it keeps going on here
I'm runnin' outta breath, death

You got to love me

More than the trees and stars high above me

You got to love me

Love me

Love me all the time
