This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
My alarm goes off early,
Can't afford to be late.
If I don't get a move on then I won't get paid.
So I throw back those covers and get my butt out of bed.
Its still dark when I'm leavin' so I let my lady sleep.
I know her and them babies are countin on me
To put food on the table and keep this roof over our head.
Yeah, that's why I get crakin' in the mornin'
Fight all that traffic on
I-40 punch a clock at a job for a boss that I don't like yeah
That's why I keep swingin' that hammer fight
For each step I take on that ladder break my back
For a slice of that American pie that's why.
Well, I wear a hard hat, steel-toed boots,
And and leather gloves and my office is the
Front seat of a four-door truck decorated
With crayon drawn pictures all taped to the dash
And our junior pro football starts here in July
There'll be shoulder pads, jerseys, and new cleats to buy
And my wife's had her eye on some earrings
I'd sure like her to have yeah I would
But, that's why I get crakin' in the mornin'
Fight all that traffic on
I-40 punch a clock at a job for a boss that I don't like yeah
That's why I keep swingin' that hammer fight
For each step I take on that ladder break my back
For a slice of that American pie that's why.
They want cell phones, laptops, ballet shoes,
And dresses Xbox, Ipods and rock'n'roll drum lessons
But, that's why I get crakin' in the mornin' fight
All that traffic on I-40 punch a clock at a job
For a boss that I don't like yeah that's
Why I keep swingin' that hammer fight
For each step I take on that ladder break my back
For a slice of that American pie that's why.
Yeah that's why
Can't afford to be late.
If I don't get a move on then I won't get paid.
So I throw back those covers and get my butt out of bed.
Its still dark when I'm leavin' so I let my lady sleep.
I know her and them babies are countin on me
To put food on the table and keep this roof over our head.
Yeah, that's why I get crakin' in the mornin'
Fight all that traffic on
I-40 punch a clock at a job for a boss that I don't like yeah
That's why I keep swingin' that hammer fight
For each step I take on that ladder break my back
For a slice of that American pie that's why.
Well, I wear a hard hat, steel-toed boots,
And and leather gloves and my office is the
Front seat of a four-door truck decorated
With crayon drawn pictures all taped to the dash
And our junior pro football starts here in July
There'll be shoulder pads, jerseys, and new cleats to buy
And my wife's had her eye on some earrings
I'd sure like her to have yeah I would
But, that's why I get crakin' in the mornin'
Fight all that traffic on
I-40 punch a clock at a job for a boss that I don't like yeah

For each step I take on that ladder break my back

For a boss that I don't like yeah that's
Why I keep swingin' that hammer fight

For a slice of that American pie that's why.
Yeah that's why

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
