Shivers Down Spines Lyrics
LyricsSuggest a correction ↗
[Verse 1]
I was smiling like a boy that just stole shit when you told me you'd hold it, my late mama's ring
And I'd sneak away at the end of each day to write sonnets for you I could sing
It was cold in October when you rolled yourself over to pull on my shoulder to say
"It took a mighty long time and too much wasted wine to find a man who looks at me this way"
[Chorus]
But I'd fight any roughneck, I'd stop any river
If it meant that I could just lie here forever
In the grips of a woman, sends shivers down spines
Makes you recall your forgotten good times
[Verse 2]
When you wake in the mornin' to the sound of me snorin', my ragged face by your side
I pray that you know all my dreams and my hopes have you holding me the day that I die
And I know I'm nothin', but I am not bluffin' when I say you're meant for the sky
'Cause beauty that holy and a heart so kind deserves a place it can fly
[Chorus]
But I'd fight any roughneck, I'd stop any river
If it meant that I could just lie here forever
In the grips of a woman, sends shivers down spines
It makes you recall your forgotten good times
Yeah, I'd fight any roughneck, I'd stop any river
If it meant that I could just lie here forever
In the grips of a woman, sends shivers down spines
Makes you recall your forgotten good times
[Outro]
I was smiling like a boy that just stole shit when you told me you'd hold it, my late mama's ring
And I'd sneak away at the end of each day to write sonnets for you I could sing
I was smiling like a boy that just stole shit when you told me you'd hold it, my late mama's ring
And I'd sneak away at the end of each day to write sonnets for you I could sing

[Chorus]
But I'd fight any roughneck, I'd stop any river
If it meant that I could just lie here forever
In the grips of a woman, sends shivers down spines
Makes you recall your forgotten good times

Yeah, I'd fight any roughneck, I'd stop any river
If it meant that I could just lie here forever
