I'll Always Be Yours
Love Amidst Adversity: Travis Flippo's Poignant Story
Lyrics
As I made my evil way across East Texas
Travelling through East Texas with questionable intentions
The rear view saw a black and white next to me
Noticed a police car behind him
Now I knew right then and there he could probably smell us
Suspecting that the officer might sense something amiss
But the piece in the glovebox he could not see
Having a concealed weapon in the glovebox
If it's not too late, I'll come by
Expressing a desire to reconcile if there's still time
Tell him I want that sticky green
Requesting marijuana (sticky green)
Now if not he won't come back alive
Implying danger if the request is not fulfilled
Take the pound, I'll grab the wheel
Planning a swap of illegal goods
And I'll always be yours
Declaring commitment or loyalty
There ain't no one's I'd rather be
Expressing exclusivity in the relationship
'Til the tide comes in the shore
Commitment to each other until the end
I'll be yours and you'll be me
Mutual belonging and identity
There I thought the cold and rain was out to get me
Feeling targeted by adverse weather conditions
I should have known the threat was real
Underestimating a real threat
They might try to take me without a warning
Expecting potential danger without warning
But they are no match for something steel
Confidence in facing threats with a firearm
And I'll always be yours
Reiterating commitment despite fears
Any fear I had is gone
Overcoming fear with the partner's presence
You're back in my arms
Reuniting with the partner
Now where you belong
Expressing the partner's rightful place
How many times do I have to tell you?
Frustration with a lack of understanding
I didn't know about any guns
Claiming innocence regarding firearms
You see I am just a country singer
Asserting a simple, harmless identity
Only tryin' to have a little fun
Defending actions as innocent and fun
And I'll always be yours
Reaffirming eternal commitment
There is no was or when
Emphasizing the timeless nature of commitment
Just like ole Buck Owens
Reference to the enduring love of Buck Owens
You and I are Together Again
Comparing the relationship to being together again
