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