The Lyrics
This is about the Hallmark series "When Calls the Heart" which is a romance between RCMP Constable Jack Thornton and teacher Elizabeth Thatcher in 1890s western Canada in Coal Valley- a miner's town.
I’m a Constable and Mountie and I ride the caked roads
Searchin' this frontier for bandits to expose
See her teaching in the saloon, I talk to her about most crimes
But the man Jack Thornton loves more than her mind
We both love our vocations, but she still thinks I’m a pain
And when I get jealous, our relationship is sometimes strained
And I need her more than want her and I want her to be mine
‘Cause the man Jack Thornton loves more than her mind
--- Instrumental ---
And I need her more than want her and I think we’ll do just fine
‘Cause the man Jack Thornton loves more than her mind...
[Maybe one day she'll agree to be my bride]
Searchin' this frontier for bandits to expose
See her teaching in the saloon, I talk to her about most crimes
But the man Jack Thornton loves more than her mind
We both love our vocations, but she still thinks I’m a pain
And when I get jealous, our relationship is sometimes strained
And I need her more than want her and I want her to be mine
‘Cause the man Jack Thornton loves more than her mind
--- Instrumental ---
And I need her more than want her and I think we’ll do just fine
‘Cause the man Jack Thornton loves more than her mind...
[Maybe one day she'll agree to be my bride]
Note: I do not usually do love songs!!!

I haven't seen "when calls the heart" yet but nice parody good work for someone who doesn't do loves songs 5's
Thanks, Jon. The "Anne of Green Gables" series is better known as far as Canada goes, but I also like this new series from the author of "Love Comes Softly." Worth a look :)
Love songs are underrated, this one ain't
I meant to say - This one Arndt :)
