Ron Hawkins - Prairie Girl Lyrics

I've been around, had my ups and my downs
Took my share and paid my dues
Went to bed with a dream in my head
And woke up with the bad boy blues
But when you're gamblin' all of the time
Don't matter if you win or lose
And I ain't never been shy so I don't know why
I'm standing talking to your shoes
I guess it's 'cause oh, I love you so
You thrill me like a Tilt-o-Whirl
With your heart-stoppin', jaw-droppin' big sky love
My pretty little prairie girl

Rogue males and old lone wolves
Ain't much for self control
They sleep with one foot in your bed
The other headin' for the door
Feet get cold and hearts they can freeze
In the dark nights of your soul
But I don't care who disagrees
Falling in love is totally rock 'n' roll
And I say oh, I love you so
And when my flag unfurls
There'll be a heart tattoo with a picture of you
My pretty little prairie girl

In the rain those trains and planes
They took me all around this world
But all that steel and chrome made me think about home
My fingers running through your curls
I say oh, I love you so
And there's one thing I'm sure
I'd crawl a thousand miles just to see that smile
My pretty little prairie girl
And I say oh, I love you so
And it ain't such a dark old world
I see the future rise in the light of your eyes
My pretty little prairie girl
