USA Today music critic Brian Mansfield suggested that James was "arguably...the best guitar player the show has seen." James lifelong goal was to be a "famous blues musician," a dream that was almost shattered after a serious motorcycle accident at the age of 21. He was told by doctors that he would no longer be able to play guitar, a medical prediction that proved untrue. James has stated that his primary influence is blues guitarist Doyle Bramhall II, harkening back to his Texas roots. Other influences include Merle Haggard, Jonny Lang, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam.
Undone
Casey James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the path your heart’s been travelin’
Mine’s been broken, mine’s been bruised
Fallen hard a time or two
And up ’til now I didn’t know who’d save me
I’ve searched around enough to know
About holding on and letting go
That makes me come undone
Now the bad bad news don’t sound so hard
Long lonely miles don’t stretch so far
Ain’t up all night praying for sleep
My empty pockets don’t feel so deep
Whatever you’re doing, girl, just keep it coming
I’ve searched around enough to know
About holding on and letting go
Finally I’ve found the one
That makes me come undone
Undone, like the clouds pouring out a perfect rain
Undone, like the grace of heaven healing my pain
You lying in my arms, me whispering your name
Won’t ever be the same
It won’t be the same
I’ve searched around enough to know
About holding on and letting go
Finally I’ve found the one
That makes me come undone
Oh you make me come undone
Come undone
