dance across those ancient hardwood floors.

oh, Lord, she took my breath away.

And when she gets me all alone she strikes the fear of Jesus,
    G               Em                  D     D
she sends that fear coursin' through my blood.
    G               Em            C               G
And when we hit the bedroom, it's always fire and brimstone,
