Excuse me ma'am, I saw you walkin'
I turned around, I'm not a stalker
Where you going? Maybe I can help you
My tank is full, I'd be obliged to take you

'Cause I'm a country boy, I've got a four-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I'll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you need to go
'Cause I'm a country boy

You sure look good, sittin' in my right seat
Buckle up, and I'll take you through the five speeds
Wind it up, or I can slow it way down
In the woods or right uptown
I'm a country boy, I've got a four-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I'll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you need to go
'Cause I'm a country boy

Big 35's whinin' on the asphalt
Grabbin' mud, and slingin' up some red dirt
'Cause I'm a country boy

My muffler's loud, dual thrush tubes
I crank the music, the tone gets real good
Let me know when we're gettin' close
You can slide on out, or we can head on down the road

'Cause I'm a country boy, I've got a four-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I'll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you want to go
'Cause I'm a country boy

Bucket seats, soft as baby's new butt
Lockin' hubs, that'll take you through a deep rut

'Cause I'm a country boy, I've got a four-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I'll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down winding roads
I can get you where you need to go
'Cause I'm a country boy

Yeah

Yeah I'm a country boy, I've got a four-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I'll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you want to go
'Cause I'm a country boy
Yeah, I'm a country boy,
Oh, I'm just a country boy,
A nice little country boy.

    My Opinion

    Well, it's pretty obvious what this song is about... just about what it's like to be a "country boy", polite and such, helping people get around and stuff. However, whenever I hear it on the radio I always feel like it's a dirty song... "Climb in my bed, I'll take you for a ride... I can take you where you want to go... Buckle up, I'll take you through the five speeds." Eh?

    Yeah although it sounds dirty people think to into it.. He really is just trying to say that we country people aren't jerks and we care and we notice those around us

    My Interpretation

    And just to add the obvious, he is also saying that county people are more utilitarian then people from other areas. They "get things done," so to speak.

    first off, its not a dirty song. so just grow up, there are by-far more dirty songs on the radio and this song is made by a country boy for country boys. The whole song is about a truck, not nessarly (2:30am) his truck but how every coubtry boy owns a lifted truck with huge mud tires and custom engines and exhausts. And how do i know this you ask cause i have a truck just like the song refers to but better of course so its not dirty you want dirty listen to nickelbacks new cd

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
