Missed the Saturday dance
Yet they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it much without you.
Don't get around much anymore.

Been invited on dates
Might of gone but what for
Awfully distant without you
Don't get around much anymore.

Well, it's all gone I guess
But my minds more at ease
And never the less
We'll stir up some more memories.

Been invited on dates (well, well)
I might of gone but what for (I've heard that before, myself)
It's so lonesome without you (I miss you George)
Don't get around much anymore.

(Spoken)
You know George it's really true
You don't get around much anymore
You haven't been to see me on a Leer Jet
I'm out here right now bro.
I know but I was thinkin' about the old days
When you used to take the lawn mower
Oh, I tried to get to Amirillo
But man, it was to far with a ten horse power
Well, you had, you had a red Buick though didn't you
For two week I had a red Buick
And found out later it was gold
Well, hmm as long as you don't start doing that duck
Well, he's not to bad anymore haha
Nancy run him off... haha quack...

(Sang)
It's all gone I guess
But my minds all at ease
And never the less
We'll stir up some old memories.

Been invited on dates
I might of gone but what for
It's so lonesome without you
Don't get around much anymore.

(Spoken)
Hey, you know we need to get back on the radio
George, that's what we need to do
Hey

(Sang)
Don't get around much anymore

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”
