Warning I will try and keep this a g rated as possible or at least pg-13. But my interpretation of this song is somewhat graphic and differs from other peoples interpretations. This song is about being in a MMF three-way "encounter", with left hand free referring to not being married and in a open/swinger type relationship. 1st Verse: Hey, shady baby, I'm hot like the prodigal son Pick a petal eenie meenie miney moe And, flower, you're the chosen one He calls her shady baby because she can get a little dirty in sexual sense and willing to do things good girls don't. I think his reference to being a prodigal son, shows that he has been with her before and left. The rest of the verse says that he randomly chose to be with her that night and further insinuates that this a temporary thing. Chorus: Well, your left hand's free And your right's in a grip With another left hand Watch his right hand slip Towards his gun, oh, no As others have stated you wear wedding rings on the left hand. So the constant reference to being left hand free is saying none of them are in a committed relationship. The right hand is being used to grab genitalia. Most people are right handed and therefor are more likely to grab things with it. "And your right's in a grip" She is probably griping the singers genitalia while the other guy watches. Which is why it says his right hand slips towards his gun. Gun being a euphemism for his penis. In other word the other guy is beginning to masturbate. Second verse: I tackle weeds just so the moon buggers nibble A right hand grip on his Colt single-action army, oh no The singer mumbles this verse and is hard to understand but i think it should say: I tackle, we tussle And oh my days, we're rolling My right hand's gripped on his Colt single-action army If we go with this interpretation, then the song is saying that the two men start getting "hot and heavy" with the singer grabbing the other guy's "Colt single-action army". Which is another reference to a gun/penis. The fact that it's "single action" is a reference to the fact that unlike women once men orgasm they pretty much done for a while. Which further shows what the gun references are referring to. Third verse: N-E-O, O-M-G, gee whiz Girl you're the one for me Though your man's bigger than I am All my days he disagrees, oh, no (Speak easy) not sure what N-E-O, O-M-G is supposed to mean. Girl your the one for me is straight forward. The last two lines is the two men comparing the size of their penises with them thinking the other man is bigger. |
