Rayland Baxter - The Woman For Me Lyrics






Never in my lifetime have these eyes of mine
Been fortunate to see the woman for me
But I hang around this old town
Dealin' with the same crowds in the street
Will I ever see
You can find me on the hillside lookin' all around
Or out there by the oak trees on the edges of town
It don't matter where I go
It don't matter what I see
Cuz I ain't ever gonna find the woman for me

She moves just like the springtime
And she's quiet like the voices in the wind
That never end
When she calls me I come runnin'
It don't matter where I am
Cuz I am her man
We go out for a long walk by the dreamer's sea
But the only footprints in the sand are left by me
From the top of the mountain
To the bottom of the sea
Tell me lord where do I find the woman for me

Well I thought I got a hold of her
Back when I was young enough to fall for a crazy girl
But time went by and I found that
I was nothing more than just a boy in a crazy world
And I got dirt on my face and I'm losin' my mind
I been swimmin' through this desert for the longest time

No matter where I go
No matter what I see
She's always on the other side
The woman
Oh the woman for me

Rayland Baxter The Woman For Me Comments
  1. l.... l....

    What poignant lyrics.

  2. F.... F....

    Here I am always late to the party! I love this song. I haven’t heard a song of this type that I liked this much since Jackson Browne. I enjoyed reading the comments. The haters always reveal more about themselves than say anything meaningful on topic. Someone said you played in southern Virginia. Ever coming back?

  3. S.... P....

    cannot explain it... this is the most perfect song i have ever heard

  4. A.... H....

    I discovered Rayland Baxter when I was on a trip from Canada to Tennessee. I heard this song on a radio station in Knoxville and instantly fell in love with the lyrics. I quickly started writing down all the lyrics so I could find out who the artist was! I am so happy to hear such beautiful music and to have a favourite present day artist. I am normally only drawn to older music, but Rayland Baxter’s music really warms my soul.

  5. l.... ....

    Rayland will find the woman for him. He's a fine young man; talented song writer, singer, musician.

  6. R.... M....

    Someone needs to make a tab for this so us idiots can play it 🙄

  34. M.... L....

    Absolutely love this band!

  35. g.... ....

    Ha! Your first comment about the video was a personal attack. I'm guessing that was flattery for Mr. Baxter?

    I figured you couldn't answer a simple question.

  36. b.... ....

    blah blah blah yackety schmackety. I love it when philistines get so infuriated at someone's opinion that they start in with the personal attacks.

    Typical. & thanks. It's one of the finest forms of validation and flattery.

    All yer saying is that you hate so much hearing what I say because...

    It's true :)

    (and no, you can't know anything else about me. Women in particular start liking me because I don't care what anybody thinks, I say it like I see it, & my fan club is already big enough)

  37. g.... ....

    Not at all. Refer to my first comment. You entertain me. It's no secret that your sole purpose of posting here is to get under people's skin.

    Ok, serious question. What do you consider to be good music? Can you answer that one? At least give me a little context so I can try to make sense out of your idiotic comments.

  38. b.... ....

    Guess I'm really getting under your skin for you to write passive-aggressive twaddle like that. Yes! Another successful mission accomplished.

    it's tough to carry the banner of truth, but someone has to do it.

    I do so proudly.

    And I stand by that truth: Rayland Baxter is pure & simple crap.

    Ask me again, I'll tell you the same.

    Go ahead.

  39. g.... ....

    The sad thing is I bet you are a grown man. Not enough hugs as a child?

  40. b.... ....

    That's got to be the gayest response I've ever gotten. Yer givin' me serious queer pains, here. Which means I'm thinking you're kinda queer. In more than 1 way. Which is fine as long as you keep a healthy distance.

    And to answer your question, refer to the original post. Rayland Baxter is to music what dog shit is to shoes.

    b.... ....

    you okay buddy?

  41. g.... ....

    Wow. One would think Mr. Baxter would have stole your candy as a child. What did he do to make you so upset?

  42. b.... ....

    Ha! I disagree. Though you & Rayland are definitely bottom-dwellers, you absolutely do not entertain.

    Can't decide, does he suck a big chota, or is it that he just can't suck enough? Well, one thing's for certain, he sucks.

  43. g.... ....

    Ha! Youtube bottom-dwellers never cease to entertain.

  44. b.... ....

    One of the absolute worst performers I've ever seen. Within about 45 seconds I'm looking for a rotten tomato to plaster this annoying moron in the face. Grating voice, unimaginative and technically lacking playing, and extremely poor writing ability combine to make this guy one of the most painful listening experiences I've ever had. One is reminded of the famous Imus phrase, "can't suck enough". Give it up, drive a truck, run a lathe, fix air conditioners, whatever you do *please* stop singing.

    b.... ....

    where's all your badass recordings?

    b.... ....

    "When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him" - Jonathan Swift.

  45. G.... A....

    He just released a song on iTunes and Grace Potter is helping to promote it

  46. k.... ....

    He doesn't have any albums out right now. Saw him in Baltimore last week and I think he said he had one coming out in August maybe. He gave me a CD that had 7 songs on it.

  47. C.... G....

    Where can you buy his music from?? Cant find it anywhere. He's awesome!!!

  48. g.... ....

    For God's sake put this on iTunes!

  49. K.... B....

    he's pretty rad. fantastic whistler, too

  50. k.... ....

    shew i saw him last night, and i just love him so :)

  51. G.... ....

    the best song I've heard this year!



  52. R.... M....

    I saw him in Knoxville last night. Went to see Darrell Scott and figured I'd have to "tolerate" this no-name guy opening for him. I was absolutely floored from the first note until he left the stage. Rayland Baxter definitely made a new fan, last night.

  53. R.... ....

    So good. It's a shame not many people have heard of him.

  54. M.... C....

    awesome song!
    P.S. I think I'm in love with you.

  55. M.... P....

    It's Neville Longbottom with a stash!

  56. L.... A....

    love it!

  57. F.... ....

  58. c.... ....

    He's opening for Grace Potter & The Nocturnals this Friday in Cincy! I'm pretty stoked!

  59. K.... K....

    I meet him last night at his concert with the Civil Wars. He's amazing! :) <3

    She's always on the other side, the woman for me.
