I know your hiding places
And I know your every move
'Cause, girl, I've been lonely too
And I seen a million faces
Been to a million places
But, girl, there's no one quite like you

[Chorus]
And I've gone through Hell and high water
Washed away with the tide
I can lose a damn war all by myself
If you were on the other side
So, in the morning when the rooster crows
Pack your bags and get ready to go
If you're walkin' through Hell and high water, please don't do it alone

I know you feel let down
And I know you've been turned out
I wish I'd been there for you
So when the night time comes around
And you feel like an only child
Just know I'll be there for you

[Chorus x 2]

If you're walkin' through Hell and high water, please don't do it alone
Oh, no

    General Comment:Black Stone Cherry is a kickass band ! This song only proves how great they are in my mind . .
    Meaning is pree simple, There's this person special he loves, & he sees something in her that he recognises in himself. Maybe loneliness, maybe struggle, maybe the fact that she's fighting against life's battles on her own, watever and he's hoping that, she'll come around and let him help her see through the highs and the lows of life together, the difficulties and the good stuff that life throws at them.

    General Comment:This is a beautiful song.
    The part about loseing a war by myself gets me every time.
    It's talking about a girl who is going through a really hard time in her life. He has been through hard times too and wants her to know that he is there for her, come Hell or High Water.

    One of my favorites.
