[Verse 1]
Down by the river junior year
Walking with my girl
And we came upon a place
There in the tall grass where a couple
Had been making love
And left the mark of their embrace
I said to her, "Looks like they had some fun"
She said to me, "Let's do the same"
And still, I taste her kisses
And her freckles in the sun
When I play the poet game
[Verse 2]
A young man down in the hill country
In the year of '22
He went to meet his future bride
She lived in a rough old shack
That poverty blew through
And she invited him inside
She'd been cooking, ashamed and feeling sad
She could only offer him bread and her name
Grandpa said that was the best gift
A fella ever had
And he taught me the poet game
