Shivers Down Spines lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was smiling like a boy that just stole sh*t 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 sh*t 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
