You Made Tooth Picks of the Timber of My Heart
For a backwoods gal was she And for chopping down a tree I was handy with an ax and I was smart
But I should have passed you by When you waved and hollered (Chester: hi!) You made toothpicks of the timber of my heart
When you promised to be mine I cut 90 logs of pine For a cabin in our little world's apart
All my dreams were heaven bound 'Til you tore that cabin down You made toothpicks of the timber of my heart
He made toothpicks of the timber of her heart He made toothpicks of the timber of her heart
Like a buzz saw rips a pole He made sawdust of my soul He made toothpicks of the timber of my heart
He was tall and he was limber and for timber he was fine But his lips were poison oak and turpentine Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
He was seasoned, I was green Yes, my darling lumber king Twined me around his finger like a clinging vine
Now I hang around the shack Just a lonesome lumberjack I might have knowed your heart was wooden from the start
When you snatched away your charms There were splinters in my arms You made toothpicks of the timber of my heart
He made toothpicks of the timber of her heart He made toothpicks of the timber of her heart
When I rolled you down the hill
And I run you through the mill You made toothpicks of the timber of my heart
You made toothpicks of the timber of my heart
