I Got You
(Meaux)
This Dylanesque talking blues explores marriage, renewal and first encounters with future Fathers-in-law. This one has a second line drum break-down as a honky tonk lap steel trades licks with a Nashville chicken-pickin guitar, all supported by a chromatic zydeco accordian - typical Bluerunners....
I'm sweating through another sultry
Summer Day
There's times down here
I think the summer won't ever go away
The nights are hot
And the days are long
I'm having fever dreams
With my air condition on
But I ain't talking 'bout
Nothing new
It's the same thing everybody here
Goes through
Only difference now is
I got you
Don't know what to do with myself
A lot of the time
Most of my day's spent
Trying to make things rhyme
Can't hardly make sense of
Half the shit I say
But I married my baby
Last Valentine's Day
I can't believe the things
A good love can do
The sky's the only thing
Around me now that's blue
The only difference now it
I got you
The water in the river is muddy
But it's true
Some folks you can count on
Some you can see right throug
When her daddy saw me
He probably wished he'd had a son
But I'm doing better now
Then I've ever done
Yeah I think I've got the strength now
To make it through
If I ever get stuck
I just ask myself
What would Sonny do?
Only difference now is
I got you
You know I prayed for you baby
In the middle of the night
I might have messed up in the past
But now I'm gonna make it right
Scars and memories don't go away
But they're fading in the sun
A little more everyday
I thank the Lord for everything I've been through
Ain't nothing I regret
Ain't nothing I wouldn't do
Only difference now is
I got you
