Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wants to know what your doin' tonight
Wish i could see if everything was alright
Hold you long in my arms until it's light
Your smilin' face would make a wonderful sight
I wants to be with ya, love with ya, eat with ya, sleep with ya, stay with me all of my life

I loved ya darlin' when you was only sixteen
Was the sweetest thing to enter my dream

When we're together then my life is fulfilled

I love you darlin' i know i always will
I wants to be with ya, love with ya, eat with ya, sleep with ya, stay with me all of my life

I close my letter but never my love
Take it there to ya heaven above
Get me back to you safe and sound

The day that i leave the prisoners ground
I wants to be with ya, love with ya, stay with ya, sleep with ya all of my life

This man continued to push me to learn more and more and still today does so many years later. Sadly gone WAY before his time. A TRUE TEXAS AND ALL AMERICAN LEGEND!

I can't believe they didn't film this incredible and historic moment in blues history. Blues music was dying in the dive bar circuit until Stevie Ray Vaughn came along and breathed new life into that began to fill stadiums all over the world. Being invited to play at Carnegie Hall was a sign of the impact that Blues Music had made. This includes it's history. Alot of great blues artist's were not well known outside the genre before Stevie. He made sure they were known and the influence they had on him.
