» Verse 1 «

Baby, every eye is on you as we walk into this room
And I kind of feel like Johnny Cash standin' next to June
'Cause before the night is over I know I'll get introduced
As that lucky guy that's known for lovin' you

» Chorus «

I could strike it big in Vegas, I could buy up half of Texas
Everybody'd know my name from here to Timbuktu
So go on put it on my stone
'Cause, girl, I know that when I'm gone
No matter what I did or didn't do
I'll be known for loving you

» Verse 2 «

I can read it on their faces like the front page New York Times
They can't believe that I'm the one that holds you close at night
Ah, but trust me, baby, that's ok with this old fool
If I ain't known for nothin' else but loving you

» Chorus «

Yeah, I can strike it big in Vegas, I could buy up half of Texas
Everybody'd know my name from here to Timbuktu
So go on put it on my stone
'Cause, girl, I know that when I'm gone
No matter what I did or didn't do
I'll be known for lovin' you
Yeah

» Bridge «

They could put me in the movies
They could put me on the cover off the Rollin Stone
But, girl, I know it's true

» Chorus «

Yeah, I could strike it big in Vegas, I could buy up half of Texas
Everybody'd know my name from here to Timbuktu
So go on put it on my stone
'Cause, girl, I know that when I'm gone
No matter what I did or didn't do
I'll be known for lovin' you
Yeah, and that's okay with me, baby
