The Chokin' Kind Lyrics

Vern Gosdin The Chokin' Kind

(Harlan Howard)

I only meant to love you don't you know it babe
Why couldn't you be contented with the love I gave
I've given you my heart, now you want my mind
Your love scares me to death girl, it's the chokin' kind.

You can kill a man with bullets, poison or a knife
But it hurts him more to take his pride and run his life
Whatever it is you want girl I hope you find
But that hat don't fit my head, it's the chokin' kind.

--- Instrumental ---

When you fall in love again girl, take a tip from me
If you don't like the peaches walk on by the tree
Find what you want and keep it, treat it sweet and kind
But let it breathe don't make your love the chokin' kind...
