Hair like the sun and eyes just as green As the ridge lines we'd walk, scannin' the trees For the wave of a tail, a shake of the leaves Lord, I'd give the whole world for a sight of those things
Hands just as soft as skin on the fruit That breaks down by the branch 'neath the bluest of moons Lord, we'd eat 'til we're sick and grab all we could hold Then we'd run to the yard with the fruit that we'd stole
Her love makes me feel like I'm home Keeps me good comp'ny wherever I go When I'm smilin' it's her and the banks The Big Sandy rivers that color my face
Love just as strong as Lawrence County shine It'll mow you on down, it'll make you go blind I would ruin my life, use up all my pay Just to have her tonight, just her and the banks
Her love makes me feel like I'm home Keeps me good comp'ny wherever I go When I'm smilin' it's her and the banks The Big Sandy rivers that color my face
