"Girl, For You" lyrics - JOHN ANDERSON

When the midnight special is long over due
I'll be waiting at the station, little girl for you
And when my hammer is just a little too heavy
I still keep working, girl, for you

You make a dictionary seem ordinary
'Cause words won't tell us how I feel about you
And when my shovel starts to giving me trouble
I'll still be diggin', little girl, for you

And when I'm down that creek and without my paddle
I swim the river, girl, for you
And when the midnight special is long overdue
I'll be waiting at the station, little girl

You make a dictionary seem plain ordinary
'Cause words won't tell us how I feel about you
And when my shovel starts to giving me trouble
I'll still be diggin', yes I would for you
