1200 Miles |
| One-two, one-two-three-four |
| Hey pretty baby, I been waiting on you |
| To dance in the kitchen like we used to do |
| Since you’ve been gone it’s been hard to find |
| Another gal as sweet and kind |
| Well this 1200-mile space between |
| New York City and New Orleans |
| Just like the in-between you and me |
| Shivers and shakes as I live and breathe |
| As I live and breathe |
| Well if you wanna love me baby |
| Then I wish you would |
| Cause I woke up feeling like damaged goods |
| And I learned to live with the consequence |
| Of hanging my heart on your barbed-wire fence |
| Why don’t you take out your fiddle? |
| Rosin up your bow |
| Play that little love song we used to know? |
| I’ll sing the high |
| Sugar, you sing the low |
| Take me in your arms and rock me slow |
| Well if you wanna take me baby |
| Come and go with me |
| The world is out there for us to see |
| But if you look inside |
| And I think you’ll find |
| My heart was in your pocket, honey all the time |
| Honey, all the time |
| Well, if you wanna love me baby |
| Then I wish you would |
| Because I woke up feeling like damaged goods |
| And I learned to live with the consequence |
| Of hanging my heart on your barbed-wire fence |
| Well come on honey |
| Let’s stitch it up tight |
| Be my husband, let me be your wife |
| We’ll be together every day and night |
| We’ll have our miserable life |
| If you wanna love me baby |
| Then I wish you would |
| Because I woke up feeling like damaged goods |
| And I learned to live with the consequence |
| Of hanging my heart on your barbed-wire fence |
| If you wanna love me baby |
| Then I wish you would |
| Because I woke up feeling like damaged goods |
| And I learned to live with the consequence |
| Of hanging my heart on your barbed-wire fence |
