From the recording The Plaid Dog Sessions
This is a love song about my wife and I. We bought a home overlooking a ravine in Illinois, and got married on Christmas Eve in our living room as a surprise to our whole family while we hosted our family Christmas.
Lyrics
Remember when we were laughing down on Wedgewood, way down in Nashville Tennessee?
Remember when we were laughing down on Wedgewood, way down in Nashville Tennessee?
When our love was just an infant,
we were still finding out what it means
to be you and me!
I’m gonna pack my apartment
I’m gonna move to Illinois!
I’m gonna pack my apartment
I’m gonna move to Illinois!
I might come from Colorado,
but I’m really nothing but an Iowa boy!
I can be your husband, you can be my wife.
I’ll sing for you in the morning, and cook for you at night.
I’ll tend to all your aches and pains,
watch the seasons change out our window.
Ooh ooh ooh, Lordy Lordy A.K. I love you so!
If you want me you can find me,
hanging out down in the ravine!
If you want me you can find me,
hanging out down in the ravine!
With all the woodland creatures swapping stories with me there beneath the trees.
I’ll be your big lumberjack little momma,
you can bake me rhubarb pie
I’ll be your big lumberjack little momma,
you can bake me rhubarb pie!
All the way from Wedgewood up to Glenwood,
we’re gonna make a true love story by and by!
