I had myself a tall one

Waitin' at the bar

I wasn't gonna leave here

'Til I had her in the car

The moon was growin' bright

And the stars were standing still

I'm waiting for my baby

In the cold December chill

I've been achin' from desire

Her blood's runnin' like a ragin' river

But her heart's on fire

I couldn't write a letter

'Cause I don't know what to say

I couldn't write a song

'Cause I don't know what to play

Come a little closer

You better hold me tight

Gonna roll on down the highway

Rock on with my baby all night

I've been achin' from desire

Her blood's running like a ragin' river

And her heart's on fire

I've been achin' from desire

I've been achin' from desire

Her love's running like a ragin' river

Yes, it's runnin' like a ragin' river

Runnin' like a ragin' river

And her heart's on fire
