Hair like the Sun And eyes just as green as the ridge line we'd walk Scannin' the trees for the wave of a tail A shake of the leaves Lord I'd give the world for a sight of those things Hands just as soft As skin on the fruit That breaks down the branch 'Neath the bluest of moons Lord we'd eat till we's sick And grab all we could hold Then we'd run through the yard With the fruit that we'd stole And her love makes me feel like I'm home Keeps me good company wherever I go When I'm smilin' it's her and the banks The big sandy river that colors my face Love just as strong As Lawrence County shine It'll mow ya right down It'll make ya go blind I would ruin my life And 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 company wherever I go When I'm smilin' it's her and the banks The big sandy river that colors my face
