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