When Love Comes To Town

It's obviously a song about his love for his wife. I could have written this song myself. She must be one hell of a good woman. Right on Bro!

I was a sailor, I was lost at sea

• He did a lot of crazy things looking for fulfillment in life I was under the waves before love rescued me
• Some of the things he did were probably dangerous, and it was a good thing she came along. I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
• The words speak for themselves, he was a little dangerous. Now I stand accused of the things I've said
• These statements are factual. It's not an exageration.

When love comes to town, I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town, I'm gonna catch that flame

• All the while he was living a wild/crazy life, he thought that if he could find a woman that could hold his heart, that he would straighten out. Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
• Like his previous women, he probably mistreated her at first. But I did what I did before love came to town
• The poor treatment stopped, once he realized that he loved her.

I used to make love under a red sunset I was making promises I was soon to forget

• He used to say anything to get with a girl. It was a game. She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown But I left her standing before love came to town
• Now he's talking about a previous woman (not his wife). Physically, she was an excellant catch. However, with this one, he broke her heart and left her standing at the alter because there was no love.

I ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream The notes were turning blue, I was dazing in a dream

• Unexpectedly, he meets his wife. She put a spell on him, a love spell. As the music played I saw my life turn around
• The effect she had on him, caused him to stop with his destructive lifestyle. That was the day before love came to town
• Pointing out again, that it was a surprise to him, the effect she would have.

When love comes to town, I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town, I'm gonna catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did before love came to town

When love comes to town, I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town, I'm gonna catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did before love came to town

I was there when they crucified my Lord I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword I threw the dice when they pierced his side

• He did all of the cardinal sins without guilt and with callousness, and he admits it. But I've seen love conquer the great divide
• She pulled his heart back from self-destruction and gave him a reason to be moral again.

When love comes to town, I'm gonna catch that train When love comes to town, I'm gonna catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did before love came to town

• A second apology.
