"Shepherd Boy" lyrics

A shepherd boy in a land you've never seen
Saw a girl busting out in bloom
He knew his sheep, but girls he'd never seen
Flipped his turban just smellin' her perfume

Slow down shepherd boy, woah down shepherd boy
She's a flame, but you're no match
Slow down shepherd boy, woah down shepherd boy
You'll do the chasing and she will make the catch

I love you, I love you
The shepherd sings his heart out
I love you, I love you
The shepherd sings his heart out

He followed her through a mile of desert sand
She walked like honey poured when it's warm
His heart kept time just like an army band
Wish for a payment to put down on a farm

Slow down shepherd boy, woah down shepherd boy
You've walked a mile for what you're gonna get
Slow down shepherd boy, woah down shepherd boy
Stop making plans, you haven't got her yet

I love you, I love you
The shepherd sings his heart out
I love you, I love you
The shepherd sings his heart out

She dropped her veil and he recovered it
He gazed upon her beauty rare
He thought he was the first one to discover it
Noticed four rings on her fingers there

Oh, Slow down shepherd boy, woah down shepherd boy
No need to run, your flock's asleep
Slow down shepherd boy, woah down shepherd boy
You're singin' now, but you're singin' to your sheep

I love you, I love you
The shepherd sings his heart out
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
The shepherd sings his heart out

Well, that's alright, I'm through with you chicks anyway
And I'm going back and watching my sheep
