Besides these two songs, five more of Montgomery's singles have reached the top of the country charts: "I Love the Way You Love Me", "Be My Baby Tonight", "If You've Got Love", "I Can Love You Like That", and "The Little Girl", while thirteen more have reached Top Ten. Montgomery's recordings of "I Swear" and "I Can Love You Like That" were both released concurrently with R&B versions by the group All-4-One. Montgomery has also released eleven studio albums, counting a Christmas album.
John Michael joined the family band (which also included his brother, Eddie Montgomery, who would later join Troy Gentry in the duo Montgomery Gentry) as guitarist before taking the lead singing role when his parents divorced. Afterwards, he made a frugal living on the local honky-tonk scene as a solo artist playing what he referred to as "working man's country." Eventually, Atlantic Records signed him.
'Til Nothing Comes Between Us
John Michael Montgomery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rollin' down the Rocky Mountains?
Movin' like the wind that sweeps the Kansas plains
I know you're with me as I make my way through Oklahoma
Pass the barns and weather vanes
There are motels, cafes, fields and billboard signs
A thousand miles of highway between your heart and mine
When one man and one woman
Get everything that they've been waiting for
I'll take you in my arms again
Feel your skin against my skin
Let the sheet fall slowly to the floor
'Til nothing comes between us anymore
In my soul I can feel you
As I cross the Mississippi
You're the river flowin' in me
Comin' home, I count each heartbeat
Till the moment we're together
And the distance can't be measured
That's all that keeps me goin' when I'm gone
There will finally come a moment
When one man and one woman
Get everything that they've been waiting for
I'll take you in my arms again
Feel your skin against my skin
Let the sheet fall slowly to the floor
'Til nothing comes between us anymore
Anymore
There will finally come a moment
When one man and one woman
Get everything that they've been waiting for
I'll take you in my arms again
Feel your skin against my skin
Let the sheet fall slowly to the floor
'Til nothing comes between us anymore
There will finally come a moment
When one man and one woman
Get everything, everything, everything they've been waiting for
I'll take you in my arms again
Feel your skin against my skin
Let the sheet fall slowly to the floor
'Til nothing comes between us anymore
There will finally come a moment
When one man and one woman
Get everything that they've been waiting for
I'll take you in my arms again
Feel your skin against my skin

Close your eyes, can you see me
Visualize me in your mind, imagine my presence
Rollin' down the Rocky Mountains?
Travelling through rugged terrain towards you
Movin' like the wind that sweeps the Kansas plains
Moving quickly, steadily and smoothly like gusts of wind
I know you're with me as I make my way through Oklahoma
Feeling assured that my love is with me throughout my journey
Pass the barns and weather vanes
Driving past farms and weather instruments
There are motels, cafes, fields and billboard signs
Passing by several shops, landscapes and advertisements
A thousand miles of highway between your heart and mine
Our hearts are miles apart but the distance doesn't matter
There will finally come a moment
There will come a time
When one man and one woman
When both of us
Get everything that they've been waiting for
Achieve all their dreams and desires
I'll take you in my arms again
I'll hold you close
Feel your skin against my skin
Experience the sensation of your skin touching mine
Let the sheet fall slowly to the floor
Slowly undress and become intimate
'Til nothing comes between us anymore
Until there are no barriers, physical or emotional, between us
In my soul I can feel you
I feel you deep within my being
As I cross the Mississippi
During my journey across the Mississippi river
You're the river flowin' in me
Your love is like the river that flows through me
Comin' home, I count each heartbeat
As I return home, I await our reunion with each passing moment
Till the moment we're together
Until the time we're united
And the distance can't be measured
Our love transcends the distance between us
That's all that keeps me goin' when I'm gone
My love for you is what motivates me to keep moving forward when we're apart
There will finally come a moment
There will come a time
When one man and one woman
When both of us
Get everything that they've been waiting for
Achieve all their dreams and desires
Anymore
No longer
There will finally come a moment
There will come a time
When one man and one woman
When both of us
Get everything, everything, everything they've been waiting for
Achieve all their desires and more
I'll take you in my arms again
I'll hold you close
Feel your skin against my skin
Experience the sensation of your skin touching mine
Let the sheet fall slowly to the floor
Slowly undress and become intimate
'Til nothing comes between us anymore
Until there are no barriers, physical or emotional, between us
There will finally come a moment
There will come a time
When one man and one woman
When both of us
Get everything that they've been waiting for
Achieve all their dreams and desires
I'll take you in my arms again
I'll hold you close
Feel your skin against my skin
Experience the sensation of your skin touching mine
