Pontiac, Pontiac, out there in my backyard
Gonna fix it up, paint it red, gonna make that engine go
Chevrolet, Chevrolet, the Chevy, it ain't running
Tire's flat, this and that gonna make that engine go

They're all in my backyard, them old cars
I love every one that I get
Mixing gasoline with my NASCAR dreams
Oh, I'm gonna get one running yet
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'll get one running yet
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Get one running yet

Ford car, Ford car, Ford car's all rusted
But that Ford car's my favorite car
Gonna make that engine go

Mercury now, Mercury, Mercury's got wings
She's on the blocks but with some borrowed parts
Bound to set her free

They're all in my backyard, them old cars
I love everyone I get
Mixing gasoline with my NASCAR dreams
Oh, I'm gonna get one running yet
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'll get one running yet
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Get one running yet
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, I'll get one running yet

Dodges car's, fastest car, NASCAR's ever seen
I'll paint it petty blue
That's what I'll do just like 43

They're all in my backyard, them old cars
I love every one that I get
Mixing fast gasoline with my NASCAR dreams
Oh, I'm gonna get one running yet
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, I'll get one running yet
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Get one running yet
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll get one running yet

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll get one running yet
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll get one running yet

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”

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
