Mudslide

It's been sixteen weeks, fourteen hours
Twenty-five dates, a truckload of flowers or two
Man, what a man won't do
But just one touch was all it took
A slow two-step and a come-on look
And I knew that was my cue

It's gonna take a mudslide to slow down
This runaway heart tonight
A high tide to try and drown
This yearning that's burning inside
Like an avalanche on a field of flames
A brick wall dropped on a fast freight train
It's gonna take a mudslide to slow down
This runaway heart tonight

You've never known me to be so patient
One woman's love to keep me waiting this long
But I kept hanging on
I was gonna give up until tonight
Her blue eyes flashed me the green light
And I know that means go

It's gonna take a mudslide to slow down
This runaway heart tonight
A high tide to try and drown
This yearning that's burning inside
Like an avalanche on a field of flames
A brick wall dropped on a fast freight train
It's gonna take a mudslide to slow down
This runaway heart tonight

Like an avalanche on a field of flames
A brick wall dropped on a fast freight train
It's gonna take a mudslide to slow down
This runaway heart tonight

It's gonna take a mudslide
It's gonna take a mudslide
