| Drive-By Truckers – Bulldozers and Dirt Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
Instead of assuming the most ugly, vulgar, ignorant yankee opinion of a southern song that you can possibly muster..... Maybe.... My foolish opinion is as follows: Many of Drive By Truckers songs show a relation to alcoholism, stay with me here. So I think the song is the basis of a dysfunctional man who dated a woman who with he was originally caught stealing her TV who now years later has simply reached the age of which he values reminiscing the past with the step daughter that he helped to raise. But now he is separated from her mother he longs for his makeshift family. Also if you you are unaware the thought of the beauty to be found in dirt, albeit in this case maybe it is being admired by a simpleton, (continuing sentence) then you need to move your city-idiot ass out of the city. Or better yet stay there. But he is placing value in the simplicity of dirt because he is simple, just like dirt. Also he can't get those damned red stains out his socks, because his life lacks structure. I could elaborate all day but hopefully everyone's mind is out of the gutter by now, because from the first time I heard this song all I thought of was reconnecting with my past and how it's really easier to consider that pushing dirt around with bulldozers is like building big sandcastles and that is a good alternative to drowning in your memories while losing mind because it is simple and thoughtless. |
