I spent a while in Nashville Tennessee a few years back and I was fascinated by the distinctive writing style I witnessed every night in the clubs all over town. I tried to capture it in this tune. Looking back at the finished product, it bears only a remote resemblance to those country tunes that inspired me, but as they say in Nashville, “at least I got a song out of it”.
I was alright
Without a clue
I knew nothin about nothin
Till I met you
Then you showed me something
A sunnier sky
You gave me wings and now
I’m ready to fly
Beyond love
Beyond love
You’re a hardy root
You drive your tendrils deep
And when you love me
Don’t you know that you make me kinda weak
I’m flowing freely now
I’m high as a kite
Come on and kiss me baby
Send me sailing into the night
Beyond love
Beyond love
I’m gonna let sweet gravity
Lift me up and carry me
When I come undone
When I spring a leak
When I fall apart
When I’m down and can hardly speak
You put your arms around me
You give me a grin
You say “take your clothes off boy-
The water’s fine jump on in”
Beyond love
Beyond love
Beyond Love
You take me beyond love
