Journey To The Center Of Your Heart Lyrics

(GUITARS INTRO)well, you walked that valley's grassy floor and climbed that hilly ridgeyou stood there naked stung with fear and tippy-toed on the edgewell, you swung on a vine, you crawled in the dirt and made the river your best friendyou ate ev'rything from a skunk to perch and filled me up with Zenwell, you went to acapella and you sang Acapulco, danced on a coinyou tied six Mexicans up in chains, then hitch-hiked to Des Moinesyou put the tube in the tub when you joined a club, and took the soles off your shoesbut, baby, there's one thing you forgot to doyou got to love memore than the trees and stars high above meyou got to love me,love me,love me all the time,if you wanna be mine(whhheeeewww....)well, you turned my pockets inside out and my inside upside downtook fourteen reds and shaved your head and let a semi run you downyou filed your teeth and chromed your feet, shot a fifteen under parprayed thirteen days in eighteen ways then gurued in a barwell you slipped me a Mickey and you read James Dickey, drank up all my wineyou did all that then drowned a bat and bought a Wurlitzer on timeyou ate barbecued stork with a spoon and a fork in a second-hand fun'ral plot,but baby, there's one thing that you forgotyou got to love memore than the trees and stars high above meyou got to love me,love me,love me all the time,if you want to be mine(MANDOLIN SOLO)[spoken during the mandolin solo and the last chorus:]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
ahhhhhhhh
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 memore than the trees and stars high above meyou got to love me,love me,love me all the time...
