Cover art for Pavement Ends lyrics by Little Big Town

I think that this song is about not caring and having fun. Instead of going in all general, I'll break it down verse by verse. The first verse refers to him picking up a girl in the country side that wont scream when they get down to business. The last two lines refer to him being spontaneous, like maybe I'll do something, maybe not. The second verse is basically a dirty joke. He has a big dick (fat pine) and when he sleeps with someone, it's short and intense (it burns real hot but it don't last long). The last part means that even if he turns her on, there's no guaranty that she will sleep with him, but he will try "where the pavement ends" anyway.

The refrain is about getting high. They find a lighter and take it all in, possibly from a bong. Then they have fun. This includes living the dangerous life, so driving in the dark without headlights. I interpret the line "Everything stops where the pavement ends" so that when they go out into the country, where there are no paved roads, the world stands still, in the sense that they can't see time passing.

The third verse refers to going home to the country side, and living without electronics or means to keeping time and contact with the rest of the world, e.g. the phone. They say that life is too fast to run, meaning that you have to stay where you are and settle in, but slow it down. I think this is again pointing towards smoking weed, because time perception is distorted when high and everything seems to go slower.

I'm not saying that this is what the song means, but it's how I interpret it. I think that this would make sense, and please excuse any spelling mistakes. Not all of us are English speakers!
