T. Graham Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'cause it'll all wash away girl, in the river of time,
if you need a shoulder, i'll be around,
i'll be your rock to hold onto, till the river goes down.
(chorus)
It's hell and high water, that your goin' thru,
but come hell and high water, i'll be here waiting for you.
Can't keep you from cryin', and I can't stop your pain,
bright instant sunshine, never could stop the rain,
but you know that i'll be there, just like that ole sun,
to be your good morning, when your cryin's all done.
It's hell and high water, that your goin' thru,
but come hell or high water, i'll be here waiting for you
(repeat chorus)
In T. Graham Brown's song "Hell and High Water," the lyrics speak of a person reassuring their loved one that they will always be there for them no matter what they go through. The first verse tells the listener not to worry if their troubles consume them because time will wash away those thoughts and feelings. As long as the person needs a shoulder to cry on, the singer will be there to offer support until things improve.
The chorus reinforces the idea that, no matter the difficulty, the singer will wait and be there for their loved one. The second verse acknowledges that there is pain and turmoil in life, but the singer cannot prevent it nor can they make it go away. However, they will stand by their loved one and be their light at the end of the tunnel.
