[Verse 1]

Well, my buckle makes impressions

On the inside of her thigh

There are little feathered Indians

Where we tussled through the night

If I'd known she was religious

Then I wouldn't have came stoned

To the house of such an angel

Too messed up to get back home

(Ooh)

[Verse 2]

Lookin' over West Virginia

Smokin' Spirits on the roof

She asked, "Ain't anybody told ya

That them things are bad for you?"

Well, I said, "Many folks have warned mе

I've had several pеople try

But up 'til now, there ain't been nothin'

That I couldn't leave behind"

[Chorus]

Hold me close, my dear

Sing your whisperin' song

Softly in my ear

And I will sing along

Honey, tell me how your love runs true

And how I can always count on you

To be there when the bullets fly

I'd run across the river just to hold you tonight

[Verse 3]

Well, my heart is sweatin' bullets

From the circles it has raced

Like little feathered Indians

Callin' out the clouds for rain

And I'd go runnin' through the thicket

I'd go careless through the thorns

Just to hold her for a minute

Though it'd leave me wantin' more

[Chorus]

Hold me close, my dear

Sing your whisperin' song

Softly in my ear

And I will sing along

Honey, tell me how your love runs true

And how I can always count on you

To be there when the bullets fly

I'd run across the river just to hold you tonight

[Outro]

Yeah, I'd run across the river (I'd run)
