Where I Come From Lyrics

Cover art for Where I Come From lyrics by Alan Jackson

You really got me on that soprano line. This one confuses me too:

"I lost a universal joint and I had to use my finger"

It gives me a headache just wondering what he was talking about in this line.

@csnowman00 losing a U-Joint would make your vehicle incapable of being driven and so with a vehicle that won’t drive, "had to use my finger likely means his thumb for hitch hiking. The "no thanks ma'am back home we like the girls that sing soprano" could be referring to a drag queen. (He is located not far from California so this would be a possibility)
