The White Buffalo is said to be a throwback to the time of hard touring, hard drinking artists who really lived what they sang about. Everything about him is big, from his imposing physical size to his amazing vocal range. He’s as comfortable playing in a dive bar as he is in front of thousands in a European arena.
The White Buffalo released his debut EP, The White Buffalo EP in 2005 to much critical acclaim. His later releases, including his debut album Hogtied Revisited (2009), Prepare for Black & Blue EP (2010) and second album Once Upon a Time in the West (2012) reached similar accliam.
The White Buffalo's song 'Wrong' was featured on the Taylor Steele/Keith Malloy surf movie 'Shelter'.
The White Buffalo joined the Forest Rangers to record a cover of 'House of the Rising Sun' by The Animals for the season 4 finale of Sons of Anarchy.
I Got You
The White Buffalo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just wish that I was still the one
Every single thought inside my head
Telling me that this old heart is dead
But I ain't got no brains in my heart
But I got you
And I got you
Making me insane and boil my blood
Like there ain't no other love
Hearts aren't always red
They're black and blue
But I got you
It ain't about your dishes or your piles of junk
I'm just sick of you being drunk
Every solitary bone inside of me
Telling me that it's my time to leave
But I ain't got no bones in my heart
No, I got you
In my veins, in my blood
I got you
Straight to my heart like a flood
Like there ain't no other love
Hearts aren't always red
They're black and blue
But I got you (I got you)
You can't touch the way I feel
There is no end to what I'd steal
For you
In love we have no free will
We only get one heart to fill
Before it's through
So I got you
In my veins, in my blood
I got you
Straight to my heart like a flood
Like there ain't no other love
Hearts aren't always red
They're black and blue
But I got you

It ain't about your bitching or your devil's tongue
It's not about your complaining or your cruel words
I just wish that I was still the one
I want to be the one for you again
Every single thought inside my head
All my thoughts
Telling me that this old heart is dead
Saying my heart is broken

My heart doesn't think, only feels
In my veins, in my blood

For you
Because of my love for you
In love we have no free will
Love controls us
We only get one heart to fill
We only have one heart to give
Before it's through
Before it ends

Fuck man, you got no idea the shit you got me through. I am alive because of your music and I can genuinely say that. I was homeless, alone, broke no direction in life but this music was always there to let me know sometimes it’s alright to be alone and have no direction it’s some of the most free you could ever be. I can’t say I’ve done great since but in the past year with the help of your music keeping me sane I am no longer homeless I’m actually on my second apartment. Thanks man.
