Song DescriptionThis is a sweet melody, simple and
soft. It's the story of a woman writing from the road to tell her man she is coming home to him.
This song is anchored by a simple guitar rhythm and the hand drums come in later towards the end of the song. Lots of la la las at the end and some more fun harmonies.
Story Behind the SongI wrote this song for a fella I was seeing. I almost broke up with him on the previous tour I was on and I was glad to be coming home to him. The irony is that I did break up with him on the tour after that. Oh well.
I tried to make the lyrics more for a masculine subject, I usually write about women.
Lyrics
The way I love you baby it weren't no joke
I was silly to try to leave you on the road.
I'd have nothing now.
I'd have nothing now.
My daddy say I write much like a bloke
You leave me writing like a lady now I'm told,
He's got nothing now.
He's got nothing now.
I smell you on the lapels of my coat
I taste you on the tip of my dear throat
That's something now.
That's something now.
They've got me on this long road once again
This time it'll see me straight back to your bed
We've got something now.
We've got something now.
Believe me, it's the one you least suspect who will have you down on your knees.
Down on your knees.
Believe me, it's the one you least suspect who will have you down on
your knees.
Down on your knees.
Oh, lalalalalalalala
