A E
She comes down to Georgia to dance across my kitchen floor,
D Bm
Leavin' black marks on linoleum, a country song on the radio.
A E
I am just a rodeo calf with tender feet and sewn on horns
D Bm
And love is a kindness that I've never known before,
D
I've never known before.
A E
She say's "I'm bound to Carolina to join the kids in 'Truth or Dare'."
D Bm
And she laughs and says its just a game when I tell her that I'm scared.
A E
I am just a dog waitin' at the kitchen door,
D Bm
Love is a kindness that I've never known before,
D
I've never known before.
There is a little bridge here that I just kind if
improvise with the notes from the song
A E
Make it last, make it stay
D Bm
Can you hold on long enough to make this pay.
A E
She said," My daddy was a grifter and I was in my momma's way,
D Bm
So I drifted for a while, because I could not stand to stay."
A E
And she said, "Love is a kindness that I've never understood."
D Bm
I said, "I'll give it to you willingly, its something you deserve,
D
Its something you deserve."
A E
And I'll make it last, I'll make it stay.
D Bm
If you can hold on long enough I can make this pay.
A E
'Cause I am just a calf with tender feet and sewn on horns,
D Bm A
Love is a prize waitin' on her at the rodeo.
