Billy Walker Lyrics
"One Inch Off the Ground"

(Kay Arnold)

Just one inch off the ground.

In my heart there's no desire to go home living
I've lost the only treasure that I ever found
She laughed at me and made fun of my emotions
And always made me feel like one inch off the ground.

So tonight I walked her by a lonesome river
Stopped her laughing with some rope that I had found
I walked away and just left my world a hanging
Her dancing feet barely one inch off the ground.

I look down and see a world of little people
And the lights that lazy cross this lonesome town
It seems that way for thirteen storys is a long way up
Oh, but on second thought it's a long long way down.

For a moment I relive the clinging mem'ries
Of how I loved her how she kicked my heart around
I'm still a fool for my last thoughts will be of her
When I leave this ledge and I'm just one inch off the ground...
