The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I'm waving my dick in the wind, waving my dick in the wind
If it all goes right, I'll be in your arms tonight
But I'm waving my dick in the wind
I'm lost in the sauce once again, I'm lost in the sauce once again
If I make it through the night, everything will be alright
But I'm lost in the sauce once again
It's been 97 days since I've laid my head beside you
And a million miles of highway in between
There's some red and blue lights that are shinin' right behind me
And that pig's a pretty mean bastard
You should have seen old Jimmy Wilson dance
You should have seen old Jimmy Wilson dance
Give that boy a dime and you could a chance
To see old Jimmy Wilson dance
Dance Jimmy
I'm doin' the best I can there, Deaner
That's it
You know I can't really dance like I used to, I mean I try,
But I'm an old, old man now
I've got a real good feelin bout' old Jimmy Wilson
Sho' nuff' he's got what it takes
Do another number for me please won't ya Jimmy
Cause you're a really good dancer
Ooh yeah, help me now
I'm waving my dick in the wind, waving my dick in the wind
If it all goes right, I'll be in your arms tonight
But I'm waving my dick in the wind
Waving my dick in the wind
Waving my dick in the wind
If it all goes right, I'll be in your arms tonight
But I'm waving my dick in the wind
I'm lost in the sauce once again, I'm lost in the sauce once again
If I make it through the night, everything will be alright
But I'm lost in the sauce once again
It's been 97 days since I've laid my head beside you
And a million miles of highway in between
There's some red and blue lights that are shinin' right behind me
And that pig's a pretty mean bastard
You should have seen old Jimmy Wilson dance
You should have seen old Jimmy Wilson dance
Give that boy a dime and you could a chance
To see old Jimmy Wilson dance
Dance Jimmy
I'm doin' the best I can there, Deaner
That's it
You know I can't really dance like I used to, I mean I try,
But I'm an old, old man now
I've got a real good feelin bout' old Jimmy Wilson
Sho' nuff' he's got what it takes
Do another number for me please won't ya Jimmy
Cause you're a really good dancer
Ooh yeah, help me now
I'm waving my dick in the wind, waving my dick in the wind
If it all goes right, I'll be in your arms tonight
But I'm waving my dick in the wind
Waving my dick in the wind
Waving my dick in the wind

waving my dick in the wind is a metaphor. i think its about a guy whos been away for a long time, possible getting sober. but now hes drunk, on his way home to be with the one he loves, with a cop behind him. waving his dick in the wind means hes not doing anything to help his situation.
