Tom Petty - Ankle Deep lyrics

rate me

Well, they raised that horse to be a jumper He was owned by a mid-west bible thumper His preacher was a Louisiana drummer Took all winter to get through the summer The fieldhand hit the switch and stumbled Outside the big engine roared and rumbled The stolen horse spooked and tumbled She didn't speak for a week Just kinda mumbled ankle deep in love (x4) He was caught up in a lie he half believed Found her hiding high in the family tree Washed his hands and put her cross his knee She said daddy "you been a mother to me" ankle deep in love (x4)
