She's young and soft and kind And she deserves a whole lot better Than a guitar pickin' drifter Who never gave a tinkers damn But if lovin' me is what she really wants I'm gonna let her and I'll do my best To try and be the man she thinks I am She makes these little kitten sounds And trembles when I love her Makes me feel so big and strong and mean Whispers that she cannot wait To be my baby's mother She's the only glimpse of God I've ever seen Her momma should have warned her Never take up with a poet 'Cause a poet travels rocky roads In search of truth and light I'm the only blemish on her virgin soul She don't even know it and I Thank the Lord she's lyin' gentle By my side tonight
