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 I ain’t gonna do it like a pretty city boy I’m a fishin’ in the dark nitty gritty boy So let me love you 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 Baby, I wanna love, wanna love, wanna love you like that I could never do it like a pretty city boy I’m more a fishin’ in the dark nitty gritty boy
