[Verse 1 – Jim B Raw Outlaw Remix] I found that note my grandma wrote, Yellowed edges, trembling ink, Tucked in Grandpa’s beat-up coat Beside a flask and a smoke that stank. He said, “Boy, love don’t come easy— Not the kind worth bleeding for. Her daddy swore he’d kill me dead ’Fore I ever touched their door.” But Grandpa wasn’t built for backing down— He was fists, scars, stubborn heat. Said, “I’d rather die with her name on my breath Than live safe with cold, clean feet.” That’s when I knew their love was forged In fire hotter than hell’s front seat. [Verse 2 – Jim B Raw Outlaw Remix] “We had this ride-or-die plan,” he said, “Meet up where the river bends— Run off, vows in our pockets, Just two broke hearts and a rusted Benz.” But when he reached that crooked oak, Storm clouds bruising up the sky, He didn’t see her waiting there— Just a letter nailed up high. Wind howling like it knew the truth, Rain stinging like a busted lip— He tore that note from the splintered bark With blood dripping from his grip. Every word felt like a bullet— Hope, fear, love… all on that slip. [Chorus – unchanged] 'If you get there before I do Don't give up on me I'll meet you when my chores are through I don't know how long I'll be But I'm not gonna let you down Darling, wait and see And between now and then, till I see you again I'll be loving you, fuckin Love, me' [Verse 3 – Jim B Raw Outlaw Remix] I read those words just hours before My grandma’s heartbeat gently failed. Me and Grandpa stood in a church doorway, Both of us cracked, ghost-pale. That old man never flinched at nothing— Prison fights, long nights, life’s dark roads— But when he whispered those same damn lines, His whole damn soul just overflowed. Tears rolled down that weathered face Like the weight of all their years— A lifetime of battles, scars, and loving Breaking right there into tears. His hands shook as he held hers— Calloused, bruised, but tender sweet— And I swear the world fell silent As he laid his heart at her feet. [Chorus – unchanged] 'If you get there before I do Don't give up on me I'll meet you when my chores are through I don't know how long I'll be But I'm not gonna let you down Darling, wait and see And between now and then, till I see you again I'll be loving you, fuckin Love, me' [Outro – unchanged] "Between now and then, 'til I see you again I'll be loving you, fuckin Love, me" [Chorus – unchanged] 'If you get there before I do Don't give up on me I'll meet you when my chores are through I don't know how long I'll be But I'm not gonna let you down Darling, wait and see And between now and then, till I see you again I'll be loving you, fuckin Love, me' [Outro – unchanged] "Between now and then, 'til I see you again I'll be loving you, fuckin Love, me
