Across the river you can dance all night

A pretty little girl that I left behind

I know you're not waiting on me 

Look at you girl you're just skin and bones

You're breaking all the hearts of the boys back home

And I know you're not waiting on me

Well alright

Drove across the river 

Made me sleep in the van

You were making time with the boys in the band

And you know I'll say its alright

Look at you little girl you're all grown up

You say it don't matter and you sound so tough 

You know I'll say it's alright

Well alright

A girl built for trouble from Arkansas

And a boy with the most metal heart of all

You said we're gonna work on that when I get back

When i get back you're gonna break this heart

Well alright
