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