Cody Johnson's heartfelt ballad explores the transformative power of love. The protagonist, who was once a loner and drifter, finds himself changed by his relationship. He feels stronger, softer, lighter - all at the same time - when he is with his beloved. This song speaks to how love can make one feel more complete and better than they ever imagined themselves to be. The recurring notion of him being "the same old boy but a whole lot better" underlines this metamorphosis. Through the lyrics, we see that he never envisioned himself as a romantic or someone capable of settling down until he met her. This song is a beautiful testament to how love can not only change our lives but also our perception of ourselves.
With You I Am
Lyrics
I've never been a Cool Hand Luke
The quarterback of the winning team
Or the guy with the right kind of punchlines
Everybody wants to be
I never was that lucky ol' cuss
With a straight flush in his hand
Oh, but with you I am
I ain't no Patrick Swayze
My old boots never danced on air
Never walked with the swag looking sharp as a tack
Lit up like Times Square
Who's that guy with the big ol' smile
As wide as the Rio grande?
Oh, with you I am
Strong as an oak
But soft like leather
High as a pine
And light as a feather
The same ol' boy but a whole lot better
Whenever you're holding my hand
I used to poke fun at them punch-drunk lovers
I never thought I'd be that man
Oh, but with you I am
Oh, baby with you I am
I've always been a "do it my way" drifter
Another highway, another town
Never thought about that little white house
With a porch all the way around
Yeah, I never saw me on a swing, talkin' sweet, talkin' dreams
But I'll be damned
With you I am
Strong as an oak
But soft like leather
High as pine
And light as a feather
The same ol' boy but a whole lot better
Whenever you're holding my hand
I used to poke fun at them punch-drunk lovers
I never thought I'd be that man
Oh, baby with you I am
Strong as an oak
But soft like leather
High as a pine
And light as a feather
The same ol' boy but a whole lot better
Whenever you're holding my hand
I used to poke fun at them punch-drunk lovers
I never thought I'd be that man
Oh, baby with you I am
Oh, baby with you I am
With you I am
