Verse 1:
G D
Hair like the sun and eyes just as green
Am C
As the ridge line we'd walk, scannin' the trees
G D
For the wave of a tail, a shake of the leaves
Am C
Lord, I'd give the whole world for a sight of those things
Verse 2:
G D
Hands just as soft as skin on the fruit
Am C
That breaks down the branch 'neath the bluest of moons
G D
Lord, we'd eat 'til we's sick and grab all we could hold
Am C
Then we'd run through the yard with the fruit that we'd stole
Chorus:
D Am
And her love makes me feel like I'm home
D C
Keeps me good comp'ny wherever I go
D Am
When I'm smilin', it's her and the banks
D C
The Big Sandy River that colors my face
Verse 3:
G D
Love just as strong as Lawrence County shine
Am C
It'll mow you right down, it'll make you go blind
G D
I would ruin my life and use up all my pay
Am C
Just to have her tonight, just her and the banks
Chorus:
D Am
Her love makes me feel like I'm home
D C
Keeps me good comp'ny wherever I go
D Am
When I'm smilin', it's her and the banks
D C
The Big Sandy River that colors my face
Outro:
G D Am C......
