Journey To The Center Of Your Heart lyrics

(GUITARS INTRO)



well, you walked that valley`s grassy floor and climbed that hilly ridge



you stood there naked stung with fear and tippy-toed on the edge



well, you swung on a vine, you crawled in the dirt and made the river your best friend



you ate ev`rything from a skunk to perch and filled me up with Zen







well, you went to acapella and you sang Acapulco, danced on a coin



you tied six Mexicans up in chains, then hitch-hiked to Des Moines



you put the tube in the tub when you joined a club, and took the soles off your shoes



but, baby, there`s one thing you forgot to do







you got to love me



more than the trees and stars high above me



you got to love me,



love me,



love me all the time,



if you wanna be mine



(whhheeeewww....)







well, you turned my pockets inside out and my inside upside down



took fourteen reds and shaved your head and let a semi run you down



you filed your teeth and chromed your feet, shot a fifteen under par



prayed thirteen days in eighteen ways then gurued in a bar







well you slipped me a Mickey and you read James Dickey, drank up all my wine



you did all that then drowned a bat and bought a Wurlitzer on time



you ate barbecued stork with a spoon and a fork in a second-hand fun`ral plot,



but baby, there`s one thing that you forgot







you got to love me



more than the trees and stars high above me



you got to love me,



love me,



love me all the time,



if you want to be mine



(MANDOLIN SOLO)



[spoken during the mandolin solo and the last chorus:]



I`ve been alone a long time now, and it seems like forever

It`s not that I wanna be

it`s just that all them things in there, together - bother me

guess it`s culture

ahhhhhhhh

if you`d only come back

figure this thing out

I guess it keeps going on here

I`m runnin` outta breath, death...



you got to love me



more than the trees and stars high above me



you got to love me,



love me,



love me all the time...
