She was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol, And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal. Well, she pressed her chest against me about the time the jukebox broke. Yeah, she give me a peck on the back of the neck and these are the words she spoke: CHORUS: Blow up your TV. Throw away your paper. Go to the country. Build you a home. Plant a little garden. Eat a lot o' peaches. Try and find Jesus on your own. 2. Well, I sat there at the table, and I acted real naive, For I knew that topless lady, had somethin' up her sleeve. Well, she danced around the barroom, and she did the hoochie-koo. Yeah, she sang her song all night long, tellin' me what to do. (CHORUS) 3. Well, I was young and hungry, and about to leave that place, When just as I was leavin', well, she looked me in the face. I said, "You must know the answer." She said, "No, but I'll give it a try," And to this very day we been a-livin' our way, and here is the reason why: LAST CHORUS: We blew up our TV, threw away our paper, Went to the country, built us a home, Had a lot o' children, fed 'em on peaches. They all found Jesus on their own. |
