[Verse 1]
She was a levelheaded dancer on the road to alcohol
And I was just a soldier on the way to Montréal
Well, she pressed her chest against me
'Bout the time the jukebox broke
She gave me a peck on the back of the neck
And these are the words she spoke
[Verse 2]
Blow up your TV, throw away your papers
Move to the country, build you a home
Plan a little garden, eat a lot o' peaches
Try to find Jesus on your own
[Verse 3]
So I sat there at the table, acted real naïve
'Cause I knew that topless lady had somethin' up her sleeve
Well, she danced around the barroom, and she did the hoochy-coo
She sang a song, all night long, telling me what to do
[Verse 4]
Blow up your TV, throw away your papers
Move to the country, build you a home
Plan a little garden, eat a lot o' peaches
Try to find Jesus on your own
[Verse 5]
Well, I was young and hungry, and about to leave that place
When just as I was leavin', well, she looked me in my face
I said, "You must have the answer", she said,
"No, but I'll give it a try", and to this very day, we've been livin' away
And here is the reason why:
[Verse 6]
We blew up our TV, threw away our papers
Moved to the country, built us a home
Had a lot o' children, fed 'em on peaches
They all found Jesus on their own
[Verse 7]
Blow up your TV, throw away your papers
Move to the country, build you a home
Plan a little garden, eat a lot o' peaches
Try to find Jesus on your own
