[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 fucked up to get back home

[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?"

I said, "Many folks have warned me

There's been several people 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 a little feathered Indian

Callin' out the clouds for rain

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 whispering 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
