| Drive-By Truckers – Marry Me Lyrics | 3 years ago |

I always felt this song was the other side of the coin to “Zip City”. Even a sequel, if you will. While in Zip City, the narrator yearned for his girl to put out or he was going to leave his town behind. Here, the narrator is content to stay in his hometown with no aspirations to leave. I even feel it is the exact same girl in both songs the narrator is referring to. Marry Me guy just came along after the Zip City guy has already rolled out of town. References to this town being “nowhere”, a cartoon town with his friends talking it down and highways running through it, sure sounds like Zip City to me. Just so happens this guy wants to stay instead of leave it behind, and he’s found the girl he should settle with. |
