@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Well I'd rather be a fishin'
Or at least just a wishin' I was
And if you really ask me
I'll tell you what is in my heart
'Cause I'm a down home picker
And a country boy singer
To start
I love cruisin' down the highway
Gettin' set to play at night
Or sittin' in a honky tonk
With a mason jar 'till light
And if I get the call
You know I'm not afraid to fight
'Cause I'm a Rattlesnake Rocker
Rattlesnake Rock 'n' Roller
Living in the city put a bite in my soul
If you live in the country they say
You will never grow older
If you're a Rattlesnake Rocker
Rattlesnake Rock 'n' Roller.
Well I'm a headin' for the country
With the stars shinin' up above
Gonna do me some fishin'
Instead of just a wishin' I was
'Cause a Rattlesnake bites
And a moonlit nites is a what I love
'Cause I'm a Rattlesnake Rocker
Rattlesnake Rock 'n' Roller
Living in the city put a bite in my soul
If you live in the country they say
You will never grow older
If you're a Rattlesnake Rocker
Rattlesnake Rock 'n' Roller.
Or at least just a wishin' I was
And if you really ask me
I'll tell you what is in my heart
'Cause I'm a down home picker
And a country boy singer
To start
I love cruisin' down the highway
Gettin' set to play at night
Or sittin' in a honky tonk
With a mason jar 'till light
And if I get the call
You know I'm not afraid to fight
'Cause I'm a Rattlesnake Rocker
Rattlesnake Rock 'n' Roller
Living in the city put a bite in my soul
If you live in the country they say
You will never grow older
If you're a Rattlesnake Rocker
Rattlesnake Rock 'n' Roller.
Well I'm a headin' for the country
With the stars shinin' up above
Gonna do me some fishin'
Instead of just a wishin' I was
'Cause a Rattlesnake bites
And a moonlit nites is a what I love
'Cause I'm a Rattlesnake Rocker
Rattlesnake Rock 'n' Roller
Living in the city put a bite in my soul
If you live in the country they say
You will never grow older
If you're a Rattlesnake Rocker
Rattlesnake Rock 'n' Roller.
