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”
They should have put her in the movies
My little country, cutie
She's the reason I believe god made blue jeans
I was a slicker from the city
When I met that little filly
I was six feet tall
Till she brought me to my knees
I sold my foreign car for a pick up truck
And have a drink Champagne
Now its jack straight up
When you better like Hank here
Or you rather love
What's up?
She put the boy back in cowboy
And I was just a red-necked wanna be
She put the boy back in cowboy
That southern woman made a new man out of me
The transformation was amazing
Even Jesus couldn't save me
Late at night I was such a sight to see
At the rodeo she kissed me
Then said"boy don't get too frisky
If you're lucky you might too step home with me"
Yeah I got the boots above
Was dancing high to get a big
I got a big belt buckle trying to rope a cow
For me the ring of fire is this cool as Johnny Cash
She put the boy back in cowboy
Hell,I was just a redneck wanna be
She put the boy back in cowboy
That's southern woman made a new man out of me
That country woman made a new man out of me
She put the boy back in cowboy
She put the boy back in cowboy
She's a live wire, bonfire
Desired to be high
She got me high high high
She put the boy back in cowboy
Hell I was just a red-necked wanna be
She put the boy back in cowboy
That country woman
She put the boy back in cowboy
Hell I was just a red-necked wanna be
She put the boy back in cowboy
It sure be nice to make your company
That southern woman made a new man out of me
She put the boy back in cowboy
She put the boy back in cowboy
She put the boy back in cowboy
She put the boy back in cowboy
My little country, cutie
She's the reason I believe god made blue jeans
I was a slicker from the city
When I met that little filly
I was six feet tall
Till she brought me to my knees
I sold my foreign car for a pick up truck
And have a drink Champagne
Now its jack straight up
When you better like Hank here
Or you rather love
What's up?
She put the boy back in cowboy
And I was just a red-necked wanna be
She put the boy back in cowboy
That southern woman made a new man out of me
The transformation was amazing
Even Jesus couldn't save me
Late at night I was such a sight to see
At the rodeo she kissed me
Then said"boy don't get too frisky
If you're lucky you might too step home with me"
Yeah I got the boots above
Was dancing high to get a big
I got a big belt buckle trying to rope a cow
For me the ring of fire is this cool as Johnny Cash

She put the boy back in cowboy
That's southern woman made a new man out of me
That country woman made a new man out of me
She put the boy back in cowboy
She put the boy back in cowboy
She's a live wire, bonfire

She put the boy back in cowboy

Hell I was just a red-necked wanna be
She put the boy back in cowboy
It sure be nice to make your company
That southern woman made a new man out of me
She put the boy back in cowboy
She put the boy back in cowboy
She put the boy back in cowboy
She put the boy back in cowboy

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.
Catchy and fun, it made me want to visit these parts of the United States^^
