Together You and I Lyrics by Barton Carroll

Together, You and I

2010

[Verse 1]
Well, you look so drop-dead fine on a visiting afternoon
Picture-perfect when you come around
And I guess I should have told you what you may be getting into
If they ever caught up with me and knocked me down
You gotta understand that a few years in is good for a man like me
In the line of work I do, it's a guarantee
And our time in here is cheap with what the warden can allow
But together, you and I can share a moment now
[Verse 2]
In the home you gave me I would live around the pain
Nеver show my fear to anyone
And in my drеams I would return to the winding river bank
And the streets I'd walk along when I was young
But when they locked you up, I slept too deep to dream that way
And the voices of the old country would fade
So here am I, displaced again, but I'm not feeling sad
Together, you and I can create what I never had
[Verse 3]
When I'd reach out to you with your heartbeat close to mine
The distance would return into your eyes
And I can't say that I blame you, and the quiet type suits me fine
You can't embrace a man you don't recognize
And I'm your baby, I'm your wife
And on the day they let you out, I'm gonna make it right
There's a hotel at the end of town
We'll get a room and you can lay me down
And together, you and I are gonna do all the things you like
[Bridge]
Don't you know that when a woman falls in love, she won't let go
And you know that I would never send you home
If I pray to blessed Mary, will she keep you safe inside?
If prison is a tunnel, you know you are the light
You know you are the light
[Verse 4]
Steel my heart until that day and don't look to the side
I don't want you to get hooked on the convict life
Wait for me, I won't be long, my lovely dark-haired bride
I'll pace each careful step a thousand times
I'm gonna find that lazy farm where I buried my secret in the ground
And it won't take long for me to turn it around
Then, you know, love, I'm gonna be your boy
Then, you know, love, I'm gonna be your girl
And together, you and I are gonna slide off the edge of the world
