about

Featuring Adam Long on electric guitar

lyrics

Girl, I’m just a poor boy walking barefoot on the road
Trying to find my way through the blinding snow
And I know enough to see exactly what I’m not
And I’ve seen enough to know
You’re the one I want

You didn’t care about my credentials when you spun into me
You didn’t put up no pretenses, you were real and free
And you showed me every flawed square inch of your broken heart
Wwhat I see is beautiful
You’re the one I want

Be mine tonight
Let your tornado come and interrupt my life
You don’t got a princess crown
You just gotta hold me down

I could sky write our love up in a jet plane
I could run over to your house in the pouring rain
I could pick you flowers from the mountain top
But I don’t wanna play those games
You’re the one I want

Be mine tonight
Sew yourself into the fabric of my life
I don’t got a sword or steed
I just wanna be your need

I won’t stop til I get everything I want
All I want is your sweet lovin’
This my lot
Don’t deserve anything I got
But I’m so, so thankful for it

Be mine tonight
How could I want for a different kind of life?
Baby, would you look around
Look at all the love we found

Someday we will leave the strength and the beauty of youth
Someday we’ll fall down tired, girl ain’t that the truth?
And I’ll be an old man singing the same old song
Sing it to my sweet old lady
You’re the one I want

Now to my sweet lady
You’re the one I want
