I woke up one day in the spring of 2009 with the strange idea that I'd write a song and record it completely in just one day. Let's see if I can do it! Well, this is what came of that. With a couple very minor exceptions, this was indeed written and recorded completely in one day. I think it took me longer to get the right guitar tone than it did for me to do everything else in this song. Might not be the deepest lyrics I've ever written but I bet you're singing along, right? And it also might be the only bubblegum-type pop song with a Mississippi John Hurt reference.
lyrics
Don't make me get over you
Because I know I never will
I don't even want to try
So just come give me a thrill
You drive me outta my mind
Just doing the things you do
I just can't do anything
Unless it's with you
And you should always know when the light's on I'll be home
And when my heart is beating, I'm in love
I'm in love with you
With only you
When my heart is beating I'm in love with you
You keep me satisfied with everything you are
I'm old enough to marry you
Yes, I'm satisfied
You keep me on my toes with all your little lies
But I always seem to forgive you
When I look in your eyes
And you can always come when the lights are turned down low
And when my heart is beating, I'm in love
I'm in love with you
With only you
When my heart is beating I'm in love with you
