[Verse 1]
             
Hair like the 

        
sun and eyes j

ust as green
            
As the ridge l

              
ine we'd walk,

 
 scannin' the 

trees
             
For the wave o

            
f a tail, a sh

ake of the lea

ves
            
Lord, I'd give

           
 the whole wor

ld for a sight

 of those thin

gs


[Verse 2]
             
Hands just as 

        
soft as skin o

n the fruit
            
That breaks do

              
wn the branch 

           
'neath the blu

est of moons
             
Lord, we'd eat

              
 'til we's sic

      
k and grab all

 we could hold
            
Then we'd run 

              
through the ya

            
rd with the fr

uit that we'd 

stole


[Chorus]
             
And her love m

              
akes me feel l

        
ike I'm home
             
Keeps me good 

            
comp'ny wherev

er I go
             
When I'm smili

              
n', it's her a

       
nd the banks
             
The Big Sandy 

           
River that col

ors my face


[Verse 3]
             
Love just as s

         
trong as Lawre

nce County shi

ne
            
It'll mow you 

            
right down, it

'll make you g

o blind
             
I would ruin m

           
y life and use

 up all my pay
            
Just to have h

              
er tonight, ju

   
st her and the

 banks


[Chorus]
             
Her love makes

              
 me feel like 

    
I'm home
             
Keeps me good 

        
comp'ny wherev

er I go
             
When I'm smili

         
n', it's her a

nd the banks
             
The Big Sandy 

           
River that col

ors my face
