Just To Prove My Love For You
By David Allan Coe

        G
I could walk across Kansas in a New York minute
          C                         G
Climb the Colorado mountains in the fall

Crawl through Arizona like a flatland lizard
     A7                               D
If I thought it’s do many any good at all
        G 
I could swim Lake Erie with my hands tied behind me
      C                          G
Eat a West Virginia coal miner’s shoe
          C
Drink the Mississippi River if it took a month of Sundays
        D                 G 
Just to prove my love for you

Chorus:
C                         G
I remember well the first time that I kissed you
      D                               G  
Cause things ain’t been the same ever since
C                              G
Got me thinking’ I could eat a ten-penny nail
    A7                   D
And spit out a barbwire fence
           G
Well there ain’t a livin’ creature gonna ever come between us
    C                                  G
I’d fight lions, snakes and go-rillas, too
   C                     G
If that ain’t enough I’d start all over
        D                 G
Just to prove my love for you

I would ride my pony through the eye of a hurricane
Climb Mt. Everest on a string
Jump Niagra Falls in a burnin’ barrel
And bring you back a hoops full of rings
Wrassle alligators in the Okeefenokee
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
If you’d just say the word, I’ll catch that great speckled bird
And bring it back to you

Chorus
