McCain, Edwin - Take Me Lyrics
I pull my boots off, throw my weapons on the floor
Cry my eyes out, in my private little war
Well it seems I've been a soldier
Heaven knows I've been no saint
In my camouflage and armor, cold heart and grease paint
The armies are all quiet and the guns don't make a sound
'Cause you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wire
Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire
And now you're leaving, there's nothing I can do
I want you to know you're gonna take me with you
Well now three on a match is suicide in the foxhole of my mind
And way off in the distance the air raid sirens whine
And they sing your song of rescue to my tattered worn out shell
'Cause you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wire
Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire
And now you're leaving, there's nothing I can do
I want you to know you're gonna take me with you
The blood that was spilled in the heartache before
Left road maps of scars that I never could ignore
'Cause you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wire
Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire
And now you're leaving, there's nothing I can do
I want you to know you're gonna take me with you

I listen to this song every morning
This guy inspires me to keep on practicing and never give up
This somng id such an amazing visual, I have loved it since I first heard it years ago. He is a true poet.
this is talent! we love ed ...fr canada!!
Holy crap, he really held that note! This is a perfect example of an artist sounding better live.
So much talent.
Love the song but the long note kills the whole vibe imo.
Real music ....real people.....i am happy that is still alive!!!!!
incommensurable guitar sound by Larry Chaney.....love it!!!!!!!!
Love that song my favorite
Thanks for posting this. I have this DVD. You are correct. It is worth every penny. Seen him live twice. Excellent!
One of my favorite artists from the 90's!!
This song is absolutely amazing. On so many levels!! It is one of my favorites.
This... this... this f*cking song... WOW.
"Rock & Roll boy" went Legendary.
esse ¨cara¨ é muito bom!!!!!!
On a day like this, this song seems appropriate
Probably my favorite song of all time.
Could you add MY MYSTERY from this DVD??? I dont know how!
I was at this wonderful show!!!
Goosebumps head to toe. Eeevvee Time!
Another underrated, talented artist. It's a shame he doesn't get more credit! This song gives my husband and I biiiiiigggggg chills!!!
kirstenbaileybates luv me some Edwin!!!
Holly Smokes, Great Performance.
Jesus was always with Me....AMEN
I used to watch him every Friday and Saturday night in Hilton Head - my friends and I would be dancing all around him. We knew back then what a talent he was. This was a LONG time ago (20 years maybe). Great singer and performer.
@darrellw82 I HAVE SEEN HIM OVER A DOZEN TIMES I CANT GET ENOUGH
Him live... Is magic. This video is old but the song speaks to me so personally. I am going into the Counseling field and I know that my previous counselors have definitely done all of the above and they have me with them all day, every day- I only hope that I have that impact on others.
Wow, he has a beautiful voice! Real talent here
Incredible talent! Nothing could be better.
This made me so fucking happy..at 4:34 Edwin totally made the jam face at the guitarist solo.
"ROCK N' ROLL BOY!!!"
that was crazy! Hahah. :D
SMILE ON MY FACE!
this was my favorite Edwin song even before I knew what it was about. it is still my all time favorite song <3
My favorite male singer............
i saw edwin twice last week. at the orlando hob and in my hometown in fort lauderdale. i could never get tired of this man,,, i got so many pics of the show, if you want any im willing to email them to you. he is amazing
I am gonna see him Tomorrow!!!
when i lived in N.C I saw him play hundreds of times. I never got tired of it.
I was there, just to the right of the stage upstairs. Had VIP seats, it was awesome!!!!
saw him @ HOB san diego........less than 100 people...the best way to se edwin
you know he didnt help at all on john mayers album
you do know that he plays with john mayer and co wrote a lot of the continuum CD.... :D
Love this one..
I was there I was there !!!!
Yeah, it's Dave Harrison on the drums. Dave is taking time away from the EMB because he had a baby (i think almost 2 years ago) and wanted to be with his family on a regular basis. I didn't know he's a session drummer now, but the bills have to be paid somehow. Hopefully we'll see him rejoin Edwin in the next few years.
That is Dave Harrison on drums... Great player. I understand he is a Nashville studio session guy now.
dude awsome video he hits the notes vocally he is amazing
agree with everyone!! Edwin is the man. Larry Fuckin Chaney!! Good stuff.
Incredible
so talented, it kills me people only like him for "I'll Be" and "I Could Ask For More". they are seriously missing out on great music.
Larry Chaney is THE BEST guitar player you've never heard of.
carolina boy can LAY IT DOWN. BUY THIS DVD! thanks for the vid.
he really held that note. I was doing something else while the song was playing and when he held that note I had to stop 'cause that was awesome!!
ohh that was great
i'm a "drop down knees" of him...
edwin is awesome this is fu--ing awesome
Would love to see him live
His music brings tears to my eyes
amazing<3
wow this is fantastic!
lol yeah. that guy thought he was cool just because he was operating the camera
haha, i know it, and that camera guy who fussed at me for leaning on the camera stand, although there was a good 8 or 9 inches of air between me and the stand
great video. GREAT song. sounded even better when we were there hearing it live, although that camera that was swaying back and forth over our heads filming this was a little distracting
