Well, they raised that horse to be a jumper
He was owned by a mid-west bible thumper
His preacher was a Louisiana [bad word] 
Took all winter to get through the summer

The fieldhand hit the switch and stumbled
Outside the big engine roared [bad word] 
The stolen horse spooked and tumbled
She didn't speak for a week
Just kinda mumbled

Ankle deep in love [4x]

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 [4x]
