Making blue memories

I’ll be right here for you, woman,

Standin’ tall, sayin’ what I mean.

Speak to your heart in a way

You ain’t never seen.

I wanna lay down beside you,

Hold you through the storms and the calm—

Yeah, in a cabin down a dirt road

Where the wild bees hum.

---

And I’m gonna love you,

Like no man’s ever tried.

Gonna build that trust,

One blues memory at a time.

---

Gonna give respect to your mama,

Shake your daddy’s hand real firm.

But I’ll still steal your glance

Like an outlaw never learns.

I wanna shine when I walk with you,

Be your shelter, be your man.

Gonna build you a life

Better than you ever planned.

---

Yeah, I’m gonna love you,

Like no man before.

And I’ll earn your trust,

Makin’ memories worth more.

---

We’ll chase down them rainbows,

Where the four winds roam.

Every road, every mile,

Gonna lead you home.

---

I’m stayin’ here, baby—

This time, I won’t run.

You’ve been pushed to the edge,

But them hard days are done.

And I swear on my soul,

If there’s life past this world,

I’ll be waitin’ at the gate

With a kiss just for my girl.

---

Oh, I’m gonna love you,

Like no bluesman before.

Lay down my pride,

And give you somethin’ more.

Yeah, I’m gonna love you,

Baby, true and tough—

And I’ll win your heart,

Makin’ blues memories of us.
