Tuning: Standard
GShe comes down to Georgia to dance B7across my kitchen floor,
Leavin' Emblack marks on linoleum, a country Asong on the radio.
  GI am just a rodeo calf with tender Dfeet and sewn on horns
And Emlove is a kindness that I've nAever known before,
I've never known befCore.D  C  
She say's "I'm Gbound to Carolina to join the B7kids in 'Truth or Dare'."
And she Emlaughs and says its just a game when I Atell her that I'm scared.
I Gam just a dog waitin' aDt the kitchen door,
 EmLove is a kindness that I've nAever known before,
I've never known Cbefore.D  C  
GMake it last, Dmake it stay
Can you Chold on long enough to Ammake this pay.
Just to make it paCy. D  C  
She said," My Gdaddy was a grifter and I was B7in my momma's way,
So I Emdrifted for a while, because I Acould not stand to stay."
And she said, G"Love is a kindness that I've Dnever understood."
I said, "I'll Emgive it to you willingly, its Asomething you deserve,
Its something you Cdeserve."D  C  
And I'll Gmake it last, I'll makDe it stay.
If you can Emhold on long enough I caAn make this pay.
'Cause GI am just a calf with tender feet Dand sewn on horns,     
EmLove is a prize waitin' oAn her at the rodeo.C  G
