Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll never have seen a river that's too wide
There ain't no jail tight 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
So love me if you ever gonna love me
I never have seen a road to ruff to ride
There ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
Now there ain't no rope tight enough to bind me
Look for me honey you will find me
Any old time your ready with your charm
I'll be there ready and a waitin'
There won't be any hesitation
I'll be right here if you ever want me in your arms
So love me if you ever gonna love me
I never have seen a road to ruff to ride
There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
There ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
