Ankle Deep

Well, they raised that horse to be a jumperHe was owned by a mid-west bible thumperHis preacher was a Louisiana drummerTook all winter to get through the summerThe fieldhand hit the switch and stumbledOutside the big engine roared and rumbledThe stolen horse spooked and tumbledShe didn't speak for a weekJust kinda mumbledankle deep in love (x4)He was caught up in a lie he half believedFound her hiding high in the family treeWashed his hands and put her cross his kneeShe said daddy "you been a mother to me"Ankle deep in love (x4)
