1200 Miles
Shovels & Rope

One-two, one-two-three-four

Hey pretty baby, I been waiting on you

To dance in the kitchen like we used to do

Since you've been gone it’s been hard to find

Another gal as sweet and kind

Well this 1200-mile space between

New York City and New Orleans

Just like the in-between you and me

Shivers and shakes as I live and breathe

As I live and breathe


Well if you wanna love me baby,

Then I wish you would

Cause I woke up feeling like damaged goods

And I learned to live with the consequence

Of hanging my heart on your barbed-wire fence


Why don’t you take out your fiddle?

Rosin up your bow

Play that little love song we used to know?

I’ll sing the high,

Sugar, you sing the low

Take me in your arms and rock me slow


Well if you wanna take me baby

Come and go with me

The world is out there for us to see

But if you look inside

And I think you’ll find,


My heart was in your pocket, honey all the time

Honey, all the time


Well, if you wanna love me baby,

Then I wish you would

Because I woke up feeling like damaged goods

And I learned to live with the consequence

Of hanging my heart on your barbed-wire fence


Well come on honey

Let’s stitch it up tight

Be my husband, let me be your wife

We’ll be together every day and night

We’ll have our miserable life


If you wanna love me baby

Then I wish you would

Because I woke up feeling like damaged goods

And I learned to live with the consequence

Of hanging my heart on your barbed-wire fence


If you wanna love me baby

Then I wish you would

Because I woke up feeling like damaged goods

And I learned to live with the consequence

Of hanging my heart on your barbed-wire fence
