Hair like the sun and eyes just as green
As the ridge lines we'd walk, scannin' the trees
For the wave of a tail, a shake of the leaves
Lord, I'd give the whole world for a sight of those things
Hands just as soft as skin on the fruit
That breaks down by the branch 'neath the bluest of moons
Lord, we'd eat 'til we're sick and grab all we could hold
Then we'd run to the yard with the fruit that we'd stole
Her love makes me feel like I'm home
Keeps me good comp'ny wherever I go
When I'm smilin' it's her and the banks
The Big Sandy rivers that color my face
Love just as strong as Lawrence County shine
It'll mow you on down, it'll make you go blind
I would ruin my life, use up all my pay
Just to have her tonight, just her and the banks
Her love makes me feel like I'm home
Keeps me good comp'ny wherever I go
When I'm smilin' it's her and the banks
The Big Sandy rivers that color my face
