[Blake]

Well, the moon just came over the tree tops
And the whip-poor-will started to sing
So I slid down the hill
Got into the still
And drank til my ears started to ring

I followed a trail through the hollow
To a shack back in the woods
It’s my eighteenth birthday
Honey, come out and play
It’s time we got up to no good

[Duet]

Now I ain’t afraid to be lonely
But I still want to learn about love
I’m a hillbilly child raised in the wild
Come lay down on my bare skin rug

[Miranda]

My dress is torn up and tattered
My daddy left a long time ago
And my hair just hangs down
I never made it to town
Momma said that’s where bad people go

But me and my sister been talkin’
She’s eighteen, one year older than me
She laid down with a man
I want to understand, what she says
I'll never believe

[Duet]

‘Cause I ain’t afraid to be lonely
But I still want to learn about love
I’m a hillbilly child, been raised in the wild
Lay me down on your bare skin rug

[Blake]

Now I need a woman

[Miranda]

And I need a man

[Duet]

We ain’t got nobody
And we ain’t even kin

So I ain’t afraid to be lonely
But I still want to learn about love
I’m a hillbilly child, been raised in the wild
Lay me down on your bare skin rug
Come lay down on my bare skin
