David Allan Coe Just To Prove My Love For You lyrics

I can walk across Kansas in a New York minute
Climb the Colorado mountains in the fall
Crawl through Arizona like a flatland lizard
If I thought it'd do me any good at all

I could swim Lake Erie with my hands tied behind me
Eat a West Virginia coal miner's shoes
Drink the Mississippi River if it took a month of Sundays
Just to prove my love for you

I remember well the first time that I kissed you
'Cause things ain't been the same ever since
You got me thinkin' I could eat a ten penny nail
And spit out a barbed wire fence

Well there ain't a livin' creature gonna ever come between us
I'd fight lions, snakes and gorillas too
And if that ain't enough
I'll start it all over just to prove my love for you

I could ride my pony through the eye of a hurricane
Climb Mount Everest on a string
Jump Niagara Falls in a burnin' barrel
And bring you back a hoop smoke ring


Wrestle alligators in the Okefenokee
There's nothin' that I wouldn't do
If you just say the word I'll catch that Great Speckled Bird
And bring it back to you

I remember well the first time that I kissed you
'Cause things ain't been the same ever since
You got me thinkin' I could eat a ten penny nail
And spit out a barbed wire fence

Well there ain't a livin' creature gonna ever come between us
I'd fight lions, snakes and gorillas too
If that ain't enough
I'll start all over just to prove my love for you

I could walk across Kansas in a New York minute
Climb the Colorado mountains in the fall
Crawl through Arizona like a flatland lizard
If I thought it'd do me any good at all

I could swim Lake Erie with my hands tied behind me
Eat a West Virginia coal miner's shoes
