On the question of the phrasing "Sam Stone was alone When he popped his last balloon" This is a reference to heroin use. Heroin was frequently carried in a small balloon. |

Hi KState08, Alan Jackson has a great voice for country; give him another try; maybe Little Bitty or Good Time. Here are a couple more classic Country artists you should try: Hank Snow - I'm Movin On, John Prine - Angel From Montgomery. The list goes on and on. Real Country music is just fun to listen to. No disrespect to today's big names in Country, but they're no Dan Tyminski or Ray Price. |

Mistercl nailed the lyric meaning I think. Here's what I wanted to add: This song reminds me an awful lot of a Jimmy Buffet song called, "He Can Either Go Country or Pop". They're two completely different songs, but they have the same message. Give Buffet's song a listen and see what YOU think. |
