I was smiling like a boy that just stole shit

When you told me you'd hold it

My late mama's ring

And I'd sneak away at the end of each day

To write sonnets for you I could sing

It was cold in october

When you rolled yourself over

To pull on my shoulder to say

It took a mighty long time and too much wasted wine

To find a man who looks at me this way.

But I'd fight any roughneck I'd stop any river

If it meant that I could just lie here forever

In the grips of a woman

Sends shivers down spines

Makes you recall your forgotten good times.

When you wake in the morning

To the sound of me snoring

My ragged face by your side

Pray that you know

All my dreams and my hopes

Have you holding me the day that I die

And I know I'm nothing but I am not bluffing

When I say you're meant for the sky

Cause beauty that holy and a heart so kind

Deserves a place it can fly.

But I'd fight any roughneck I'd stop any river

If it meant that I could just lie here forever

In the grips of a woman

Sends shivers down spines

It makes you recall your forgotten good times.

Yeah, I'd fight any roughneck I'd stop any river

If it meant that I could just lie here forever

In the grips of a woman

Sends shivers down spines

It makes you recall your forgotten good times.

I was smiling like a boy that just stole shit

When you told me you'd hold it

My late mama's ring

And I'd sneak away at the end of each day

To write sonnets for you I could sing.
