Just To Prove My Love For You
By David Allan Coe
G
I could walk across Kansas in a New York minute
C G
Climb the Colorado mountains in the fall
Crawl through Arizona like a flatland lizard
A7 D
If I thought it’s do many any good at all
G
I could swim Lake Erie with my hands tied behind me
C G
Eat a West Virginia coal miner’s shoe
C G
Drink the Mississippi River if it took a month of Sundays
D G
Just to prove my love for you
Chorus:
C G
I remember well the first time that I kissed you
D G
Cause things ain’t been the same ever since
C G
Got me thinking’ I could eat a ten-penny nail
A7 D
And spit out a barbwire fence
G
Well there ain’t a livin’ creature gonna ever come between us
C G
I’d fight lions, snakes and go-rillas, too
C G
If that ain’t enough I’d start all over
D G
Just to prove my love for you
G
I would ride my pony through the eye of a hurricane
C G
Climb Mt. Everest on a string
Jump Niagra Falls in a burnin’ barrel
A7 D
And bring you back a hoops full of rings
G
Wrassle alligators in the Okeefenokee
C G
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
C
If you’d just say the word, I’ll catch that great speckled bird
D G
And bring it back to you
