In Your Arms
Discovering Redemption: In Your Arms by Eldon Huff
Lyrics
Lonely, might as well been my middle name
Feeling isolated, loneliness is a significant aspect of the speaker's life.
Lookin' for love but ran into trouble
Seeking love, but encountering difficulties and challenges.
Trouble's just what I became
Experiencing trouble to the extent that it becomes a defining part of the speaker's identity.
Til I'd had enough
Reaching a point of saturation with challenges or difficulties.
I've been all over Dixie had women drank whiskey
Traveling extensively in the southern United States, engaging with women and alcohol.
And they both took a toll on my heart
Both women and whiskey have taken an emotional toll on the speaker.
Took me while to find the happy I found right here
After a journey, finding contentment and happiness.
I'm your arms
Expressing that the source of happiness is being in the arms of a loved one.
Angel, you ain't where you oughta be
Referring to the listener as an angel who is not in the expected or ideal place.
You might find yourself face to face with the devil
Warning of potential encounters with challenges or negativity, symbolized by the devil.
Some say he looks just like me
Suggesting a resemblance between the speaker and the devil, yet acknowledging love despite flaws.
But you love me anyway
Acknowledging the listener's love despite the speaker's perceived flaws or negative qualities.
I've been all over Dixie had women drank whiskey
Reiterating the speaker's experiences in Dixie with women and whiskey.
And they both took a toll on my heart
Highlighting the emotional toll of these experiences on the speaker's heart.
Took me while to find the happy I found right here
Reiterating the time it took to find happiness, now located in the listener's arms.
I'm your arms
Reaffirming the source of happiness being in the arms of the loved one.
Lord knows where I'd be
Expressing uncertainty about the speaker's fate if not for the positive influence of the loved one.
Locked up six feet deep
Speculating about dire consequences, such as imprisonment or death.
Or at the bottom of a bottle at the bar
Contemplating negative outcomes, including potential self-destructive behavior related to alcohol.
It took me a while to find the happy I found right here
Emphasizing the time it took to find happiness, now situated in the listener's arms.
In your arms
Stating that the ultimate source of happiness is in the embrace of the loved one.
I've been all over Dixie had women drank whiskey
Recalling past experiences in Dixie with women and whiskey.
And they both took a toll on my heart
Reiterating the emotional toll of those experiences on the speaker's heart.
Yeah, Took me while to find the happy I found right here
Affirming the time it took to find happiness, now located in the listener's arms.
I'm your arms
Reaffirming the source of happiness being in the arms of the loved one.
It took me while to find the happy I found right here
Highlighting the gradual process of finding happiness, now achieved in the listener's arms.
In your arms
Reaffirming that the ultimate source of happiness is in the embrace of the loved one.
