Just To Prove My Love For You Lyrics - The Illustrated David Allan Coe: 4 Classic Albums 1977-1979 - David Allan Coe

I'd walk across Kansas in a New York minute 

Climb the Colorado mountains in the fall 

Crawl through Arizona like a flatland lizard 

If I thought it'd do me any good at all 

I could swim Lake Erie with my hands tied behind me 

Eat a West Virginia coal miner's shoes 

Drink the Mississippi River if it took a month of Sundays 

Just to prove my love for you 

I remember well the first time that I kissed you 

'Cause the things ain't been the same ever since 

You got me thinkin' I could eat a ten penny nail 

And spit out a barbed wire fence 

Now there ain't a livin' creature gonna ever come between us 

I'd fight lions snakes and gorillas too 

And if that ain't enough 

We'll start all over just to prove my love for you 

I could ride my pony through the eye of a hurricane 

Climb Mount Everest on a string 

Jump Niagara Falls in a burnin' barrel 

And bring you back a hoop smoke ring 

Wrestle alligators in the Okefenokee 

There's nothin' I wouldn't do 

If you just say the word I'll catch that Great Speckled Bird 

And bring it back to you 

I remember well the first time that I kissed you 

'Cause the things ain't been the same ever since 

You got me thinkin' I could eat a ten penny nail 

And spit out a barbed wire fence 

Now there ain't a livin' creature gonna ever come between us 

I'd fight lions snakes and gorillas too 

And if that ain't enough 

We'll start all over just to prove my love for you 

I'd walk across Kansas in a New York minute 

Climb the Colorado mountains in the fall 

Crawl through Arizona like a flatland lizard 

If I thought it'd do me any good at all 

I could swim Lake Erie with my hands tied behind me 

Eat a West Virginia coal miner's shoes
