This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
i pulled up to a cattle guard
got out, opened up the gate
i drove down a long dirt road
to the banks of an old two- acre lake
they had bonfires and barbwire
fresh-caught catfish in the deep fryer
i jumped out my truck and said, it's on
and everybody sang
hey ya'll, break out the beer, turn the skynyrd on
hey ya'll, how ya doin'?
whatcha doin'?
hey ya'll, we ain't leavin' 'til they call the law
hey ya'll, hey ya'll, come on
a cloud of dust came rollin' in
blue lights flashin', there were ten of them
sheriff harper and all his boys
said all they had to do was just follow the noise
he dropped his gun, and then his star
reached in his cruiser, pulled out his guitar
said officer, what have we done wrong?
he just smiled at me a said, nothin at all, singin'
hey ya'll break out the beer, turn the skynyrd on
hey ya'll whatcha doin? how ya' doin?
hey ya'll crank it up, we ain't never goin' home
hey ya'll ,
hey ya'll watch this
see that girl over there lookin' fine
well, i betcha by morning i can make her mine
everybody sang
hey ya'll , break out the beer, turn the skynyrd on
hey ya'll watcha doin'?
baby, how'm i doin?
hey ya'll, we ain't leavin' til the law goes home
hey ya'll, hey ya'll, come on
got out, opened up the gate
i drove down a long dirt road
to the banks of an old two- acre lake
they had bonfires and barbwire
fresh-caught catfish in the deep fryer
i jumped out my truck and said, it's on
and everybody sang
hey ya'll, break out the beer, turn the skynyrd on
hey ya'll, how ya doin'?
whatcha doin'?
hey ya'll, we ain't leavin' 'til they call the law
hey ya'll, hey ya'll, come on
a cloud of dust came rollin' in
blue lights flashin', there were ten of them
sheriff harper and all his boys
said all they had to do was just follow the noise
he dropped his gun, and then his star
reached in his cruiser, pulled out his guitar
said officer, what have we done wrong?
he just smiled at me a said, nothin at all, singin'
hey ya'll break out the beer, turn the skynyrd on
hey ya'll whatcha doin? how ya' doin?
hey ya'll crank it up, we ain't never goin' home
hey ya'll ,
hey ya'll watch this
see that girl over there lookin' fine
well, i betcha by morning i can make her mine

hey ya'll , break out the beer, turn the skynyrd on
hey ya'll watcha doin'?

hey ya'll, we ain't leavin' til the law goes home
hey ya'll, hey ya'll, come on

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
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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
