  • Hey girl, I'm just a small town run around
    I get my kicks out on the outskirts of town
    I could never do it like a pretty city boy
    I'm more a fishin' in the dark nitty gritty boy
    So lay back and let me paint you a picture
    The way I wanna kiss you is

    Slow as the Mississippi
    Strong as a fifth of whiskey
    Steady as a Tom Petty track
    I wanna love, wanna love you like that
    Deeper than a sunset sky
    Sweeter than muscadine wine
    All night 'til the sun comes back
    I wanna love, wanna love, wanna love you like that

    When I'm with you I can see down the road girl
    Not just the gravel one we're travelin' on girl
    And I'm bettin' that it's gonna be a wild ride
    But I promise that I'm gonna be there by your side
    I think we got another memory in the makin'
    So baby let's take it, take it
    Slow as the Mississippi
    Strong as a fifth of whiskey
    Steady as a Tom Petty track
    I wanna love, wanna love you like that
    Deeper than a sunset sky
    Sweeter than muscadine wine
    All night 'til the sun comes back
    I wanna love, wanna love, wanna love you like that

    And I ain't gonna do it like a pretty city boy
    I'm a fishin' in the dark nitty gritty boy, yeah
    So let me love you

    Slow as the Mississippi
    Strong as a fifth of whiskey
    Steady as a Tom Petty track, girl
    I wanna love, wanna love you like that
    Deeper than a sunset sky
    Sweeter than muscadine wine
    All night 'til the sun comes back
    I wanna love, wanna love, wanna love you like that

    Baby
    I wanna love, wanna love, wanna love you like that

    Yeah!
    I could never do it like a pretty city boy
    I'm more a fishin' in the dark nitty gritty boy Writer/s: BRETT BEAVERS, CANAAN LEE SMITH, JIM BEAVERS
