Green began his musical career when he was 18 and in college at Texas Tech in Lubbock. "I started playing guitar to pick up the chicks," Green laughs. "Before that, I only sang in the shower. I could mimic other people's voices. It took me a long time to find my own voice, but once I did, I became very comfortable with it. It's not real pretty but it's believable."
During those college years, Green started playing clubs and opening shows for other artists. In 1995, he put out his first independent record.
"I don't know exactly where it began, if it was Willie Nelson's picnic or one of Jerry Jeff's shows, but I got asked to play and there was a huge crowd there," Green says. "After that show, we started getting some radio support. All of a sudden, everything started happening at once. We were selling a ton of records. We were able sell out Billy Bob's. In Dallas-Fort Worth, we were selling 4, 5, 6000 seats. In Houston and everywhere else, it started being 1000, 2000 seats. It just started steamrolling. I think it was a combination of the popularity of Robert Earl Keen, Jerry Jeff Walker and Willie Nelson leading the forefront for us little guys. We just all fell in line behind them."
The result of that faith was Green's 2001 major-label debut, Three Days, on Republic/Universal. The album Wave On Wave followed in 2003, and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard country albums chart, and the title track cracked the Top 5 on the singles chart. He released Lucky Ones in 2004. In 2006, after a move to the RCA imprint BNA, he issued Cannonball.
Let Me
Pat Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's just lay here for awhile
We can hurry when we're older
And girl, don't worry about tomorrow
That just seems so far away
Love for me, me and you
All that we have to do is follow
Just follow
Let me be the one who sets your feet up on a road
Where you've never been
Oh, and baby then
You can let me take these arms and wrap you up inside a night
That will never end
I want to be that man
If you let me
Come on baby, let me
Baby, leave those candles burning
Slide on over here to me
If you run with me, girl
You know we'll make this world stop turning
Just stop turning
Let me be the one who sets your feet up on a road
Where you've never been
Oh, and baby then
You can let me take these arms and wrap you up inside a night
That will never end
Well, I can be that man
If you let me
Oh, whoa
Let me be the one who sets your feet up on a road
Where you've never been
Yeah, and let me take these arms and wrap you up inside a night
That will never end
I want to be that man
If you'd let me
Come on baby, let me
Sweet baby, let me, ooh
