Journey to the Center of Your Heart
guitar chords lyrics
(GUITARS INTRO)
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,
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
(whhheeeewww...)
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)
[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 me
More than the trees and stars high above me
You got to love me,
Love me,
Love me all the time...
