Won't you run underneath the door.
Take my home, treat it as your own.

My mother told me don't you run away,
Because it takes a man to keep them hungry,
But I'm so damn cold,
And if this blood don't turn to gold
I think I'm doomed.

Ooh, Yeah.

The time has come my friend to run,
I bid you please to take the roses an the loaded gun I left you
'Cause I'm hopin' now you find somehow
That I'm so damn cold,
And if this blood don't turn to gold,
I think I'm doomed.

Ooh, Yeah.

    My interpretation of the lyrics is that its about wanting out of a relationship. i suspect its like an obligated mariage or something. so his mums telling him he has to go through with it. being cold could be cold feet, or being emotionly cold. blood turning to gold is a sense that what he has isnt enough (financially), so hes waiting on something impossible to happen and solve his problems, but really he knows hes got to run or hes doomed.

    second verse he concludes that he can't wait anymore, so he has to run. so yea the rose is a sorry. hes hoping she will understand.

    what im not really sure about is "it takes a man to keep them hungry" and the gun. i think the gun could be giving her a suicide option for leaving her with all his troubles.

    if you got any ideas about those things or a different meaning, let me know :)

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
