One of the more successful country music groups of the 1990s, their hits have included Every Once in a While, Days of America, and Goodbye Says It All.
The original lineup for the band throughout the 1990s was Paul, Robbins, and guitarist/vocalist Van Stephenson, who died of skin cancer in April, 2001. He was replaced by Randy Threet, the band's bass player, until 2003, when Anthony Crawford signed on.
From early 2008 until he re-joined in 2010, Robbins left the group to resume his songwriting career, and Threet re-joined. Since then, BlackHawk's backing band has been subsumed into the main group, which comprises Paul (lead vocals, guitar, mandolin), Randall (acoustic guitar, background vocals), Threet (bass guitar, background vocals), Chris Anderson (lead guitar, background vocals), Dave Robbins (keyboards, background vocals), and Monte Yoho (drums, percussion).
Current Total Nonstop Action Wrestling musician Dale Oliver was also once a part of Blackhawk.

BlackHawk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That fate and destiny played no part
But finding you has made me a believer
That we were meant to be right from the start
Before the sun and moon stars
We put there in the sky
Before the mountains stood tall
I loved you then, I love you now
And I'll love you until
Always have, always will
Before the light broke through the dark
You were the candle in my heart
Before the dawn of time
I was yours and you were mine
Before the sun and moon stars
We put there in the sky
Before the mountains stood tall
Above this world so high
I loved you then, I love you now
And I'll love you until
Always have, always will
Always have, always will
In the song "Always Have Always Will" by BlackHawk, the singer reflects on their belief in fate and destiny after having found love with their significant other.

But after finding their partner, the singer became a believer in the idea that they were always meant to be together.
The first verse of the song suggests that the singer believes that their love was destined to be. They use the phrase "meant to be right from the start" to indicate that their love was predetermined. The following stanza then reinforces this idea, suggesting that even before the sun, moon, stars or mountains existed, their love had already been decided.
The final verse repeats the idea that the singer will always love their partner - "Always have, always will" - and that their love was preordained before the beginning of time. The repetition of the phrase highlights the strength of the singer's love and their belief that it was destined to be.
Overall, the song speaks to the idea of fate and destiny in love, suggesting that some relationships are meant to be from the very beginning.
Line by Line Meaning
I used to think that love was just for dreamers
Love was once considered a fantasy or unreal before it was encountered
That fate and destiny played no part
It was believed that chance and fortune had no bearing on one's love life
But finding you has made me a believer
Meeting the special one altered this view and brought about a new outlook
That we were meant to be right from the start
It was predestined that both parties were compatible and had to be together
Before the sun and moon stars
Prior to cosmic objects, such as the sun, moon and stars
We put there in the sky
Before these objects existed, they were created and installed in their positions
Before the mountains stood tall
Before the dramatic land formations of mountains and hills came to be
Above this world so high
Elevated above ground level and visible all around the Earth
I loved you then, I love you now
Affection was felt at a past point in time and continues to this present moment
And I'll love you until
The duration of love is not limited by time
Before the light broke through the dark
Prior to illumination overpowering darkness
You were the candle in my heart
The special person illuminated and warmed the depths of their love
Before the dawn of time
Before the inception of existence and time itself
I was yours and you were mine
Both individuals were meant to be together before time began
Always have, always will
Love is a constant force that will always be present, regardless of time or changes in circumstance.
Always have, always will
Love is a constant force that will always be present, regardless of time or changes in circumstance.
