She comes down to Georgia to dance across my kitchen floor,
E C#m
Leavin' black marks on linoleum, a country song on the radio.
B F#
I am just a rodeo calf with tender feet and sewn on horns
E C#m
And love is a kindness that I've never known before,
E
I've never known before.

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