Heather Myles gets her musical inspiration from a background that is as diverse as the artist herself. Growing up on a ranch in Southern California, Heather was immersed in the sounds of country music radio at a time when legends were being born. The voices of Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Waylon Jennings, and Hank Williams all played a large part influencing Heather as a songwriter and an outstanding performer. Additionally, it was the sound of her dad's ukulele and grandpa's old Scottish bagpipes that have been responsible for shaping her into the artist she is today.
Heather's family, originally from Scotland, settled in Canada and eventually migrated to Southern California where they operated a ranch specializing in the breeding and training of racehorses. As a child, Heather always thought she would follow in the family business and even considered becoming a jockey. However, an extraordinary talent for music and her powerful voice would soon lead Heather to a much different track.
Now, after four CDs and several years touring the world, playing honky-tonks and opening shows for Charlie Daniels, Merle Haggard, and Waylon Jennings, Heather is poised for stardom and ready to take her place on the main stage of Country and American music.
I'll be there

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me.
Never have seen no river that's too wide.
Ain't no jail tall enough to lock me,
Ain't no man big enough to stop me,
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side.
Love me, if you're ever gonna love me,
Ain't no jail tall enough to lock me,
Ain't no man big enough to stop me,
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side.
Love me, if you're ever gonna love me,
Never have seen a road too rough to ride.
Ain't no chain strong enough to hold me,
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me.
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side.

Ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
Never have seen a river that's too wide
Ain't no jail tight enough to lock me

Ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side

I can't get enough of this performance! The song is awesome, the musicianship is superb, the band is tight, and Heather has a voice (and accent) that is pure country. I keep asking myself "why didn't I hear about her in the 90's when I was listening to A LOT of Dwight Yoakam?".
