Well, she come around here
In her sixty-five dress
With her eyes stuck open
And her hair in a mess
With her head screamin', "No"
And her heart sayin', “Yes”
And I love that girl

It was back in that house
Full of drunkards and thieves
When you first saw me risin'
Up off of my knees
And she said, "Do you think
You could show me that please?"
And I love that girl

[Chorus]
Well, I love that girl
And I love that girl
Well, I love that girl
Well, I love that girl

We'd been left by the road
In the back of the night
We'd been stranded by dreams
And then shot full of moonlight
They took us downtown
And they read us our rights
And I love that girl

So we married and said
That we never would part
And there hasn't been
Even one small change of heart
If it ended up now
I wouldn't know where to start
And I love that girl

[Chorus]

You lose it all
Then you're ascending
Into a love
That's never ending

Now they're boilin' the oil
On the bridge at the gates
The King's men in the castle
They're lying in wait
She says, “Now is the time
We must not hesitate”
And I love that girl

Then she wakes me with coffee
And kisses my head
And she starts to explain
About something she's read

I say, “darlin you haven't heard
A word that I've said”
And I love that girl

[Chorus]
