BABE

[Intro] [Acoustic guitar strumming] [Quiet, hesitant] Cold night… Just me… And your memory… [Melancholic fiddle solo] [Chorus] [Soft and Close Mic, Whispered and Rough] BABE... I miss the way you found me, Back when I was young and wild, Now every time you come around, It takes me back to a love so profound, Oooooooh BABE... I miss the way you knew me, You saw through the fears I’d hide, I’d trade every sunset ride since then…mmmm For you to hold me tonight, [Verse 1] [Soft acoustic picking] [Quiet storytelling, heavy country twang] There’s two pictures collecting dust, On the wall where you hung ‘em last. I’ve been wearing out these back roads, Trying to outride the past. Everybody says time heals, Guess time forgot my name. Some nights your shadow still sits beside me, Like nothing ever changed. [Chorus] [Full band kicks in, raw vocals] [Rough Studio Energy] BABE! I miss the way you found me! Back when I was young and wild! Now every time you come around, It takes me back to a love so profound, Aaaaaaah BABE...oooooooh ...I miss the way you knew me You saw through the fears I’d hide I’d trade every sunset ride since then... Mmmmmm For you to hold me tonight! [rustic fiddle bridge] [Verse 2] [Subtle live drums and bass] [Heavy Twang, Raspy and Emotional] Thought about you all these years, Time never changed my heart, Forever sounded easy, ‘Til forever fell apart. If you ever hear this song, Or come riding through the east side, Just know there’s a woman hoping, You’ll show up and take her for a ride, [Final Chorus] [Screaming Vocals, Full Emotional Breakdown] [Driving Drums, Shouting Harmonies, Bright Mandolin] BABE! I MISS THE WAY YOU FOUND ME! Back when I was young and wild! Now every time you come around…mmmm It takes me back to a love so profound… Aaaaaaah BABE... I MISS THE WAY YOU KNEW ME! Like you could see through every fear I’d hide! I’d trade every sunset ride since then... Mmmmmm... FOR YOU TO HOLD ME TONIGHT! [Outro] [Music fades to acoustic guitar only] [Gravelly female whisper, breathless] Some loves fade into the dark, Some never leave at all… Mmmmm Babe, yours left a permanent mark. [Fading rustic mandolin outro] [End]
