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 month 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 ever 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 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 ever 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'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 --- Just To Prove My Love For You - David Allan Coe
