about

lyrics

Levon Jackson
Made a stand in the valley
Burned a bridge or two
Just to keep me from getting to you
And I'd burn a bridge too
Just to keep him from getting to you
You know my love's so grand
I'd let you be the singer in my jug band

Right where the river bends
On the mighty Shenandoah
Soldiers lost their lives
To wed the daughter of the stars
You'll find me in the trenches
Just surviving for your love
I'd wage a war against his nation
Just to spend a night with you

I'm my own worst enemy
Just a fool trying to play it cool
I'm Levon Jackson
Burning in a house that I made of wood
Heal me
Heal me with your love darling please
You be my lifeline
I'll love you for my lifetime
