Waltzing down the dirt road that broke our younger hearts
Sun is shining bright today, it’s a brand new deck of cards
I wanna be with you, way before the gravestone
Dance with me from time to time and I’ll sink into your bones

You got asphalt power I’m just trying to get through
I wanna be a flower and give myself to you
You got asphalt power when you’re feeling blue
I wanna be a flower and give myself to you

When love is a rock in a hard place, I’m gonna whistle a tune
Send it skipping across the pond just to be with you
We been thru the wringer, squeezing out the aching
Wake up in the morning darling, cook me eggs and bacon

You got asphalt power I’m just trying to get through
I wanna be a flower and give myself to you
You got asphalt power when you’re feeling blue
I wanna be a flower and give myself to you

Your life has been brutal, but you get me when I’m stuck
Man you can be so funny, cracking my heart up
Busting through the blacktop, a tiny little blossom
Yearning for the sunshine, bursting through to got some

You got asphalt power I’m just trying to get through
I wanna be a flower and give myself to you
You got asphalt power when you’re feeling blue
I wanna be a flower and give myself to you
I wanna be a flower and give myself to you (4 1 5 5 1 1)
