[Verse 1]
Hair like the sun and eyes just as green
As the ridge line we'd walk, scannin' the trees
For the wave of a tail, a shake of the leaves
Lord, I'd give the whole world for a sight of those things

[Verse 2]
Hands just as soft as skin on the fruit
That breaks down the branch 'neath the bluest of moons
Lord, we'd eat 'til we's sick and grab all we could hold
Then we'd run through the yard with the fruit that we'd stole

[Chorus]
And her love makes me feel like I'm home
Keeps me good comp'ny wherever I go
When I'm smilin', it's her and the banks
The Big Sandy River that colors my face

[Verse 3]
Love just as strong as Lawrence County shine
It'll mow you right down, it'll make you go blind
I would ruin my life and use up all my pay
Just to have her tonight, just her and the banks

[Chorus]
Her love makes me feel like I'm home
Keeps me good comp'ny wherever I go
When I'm smilin', it's her and the banks
The Big Sandy River that colors my face
