I Got You Lyrics

I Got You

(Dwight Yoakam)

 

 I've had to buy back damn near everything I own

 From a little man who's name is Saul

 And has a lot of money to loan

 I drive a beat up '67 Chevrolet

 With a torn up seat

 That pokes a brand new hole in my back near every day

 I got a letter from the folks over at Bell

 Just to let me know for my next phone call

 I could walk outside and yell

 Hey, I know my life seems a mess

 But honey, things to me still look real swell

 

 Chorus:

 'Cause I've got you to see me through

 Yeah, I've got you to chase my blues

 I've got you to ease my pain

 Yeah, I've got you, girl, to keep me sane

 So let them do what they want to do

 'Cause it don't matter as long as I've got you

 

 I've got the landlord breathing down my neck for rent

 He don't give a damn about my kids or where the money was spent

 And after all those years of payin' union dues

 It sure didn't seem to count for much when we got our layoff news

 I got a note from the man over at the bank

 Said the next 10 gallons of gas I buy won't be going in my tank

 Hey, I know I might seem near dead

 But honey, I think I might just get well

 

 Chorus:

 'Cause I've got you to see me through

 Yeah, I've got you to chase my blues

 I've got you to ease my pain

 Honey, I've got you, girl, to keep me sane

 So let them do what they want to do

 'Cause it don't matter as long as I've got you

 Yeah, let them go right ahead and sue

 'Cause it don't matter as long as I've got you
