in my opinion, i think this song is about being in a band and touring and playing shows.
Hit the pavement and drive for the first time in a long time
And pray that everything works out fine
She said try to have a good time
And get your fill of cheap thrills
And try anything to save a dime
So lets get moving, and lets get grooving
To every single word we've grown to know
Until we get car sick, play our hands quick
And try to save ourselves along the way
-this part is self explanatory, being on the road, hanging out
You're a gamble; you've got nothing left to lose
You think you got me in the back of your pocket, you do
So take a breath and try to keep it down
Cause I love these girls but I hate this town
But I'm positive that there's nothing about you to get to know
-saying the music industry is a gamble, and it "has him in the back of its pocket" because he truly loves music and will do anything to live out the dream. i dunno what the girls part is about. maybe groupies lol.
Hit the lights and get down for the last time in a long time
And try to think of every last line
She said try to have a good time
Don't put up with the hard hits
They'll just hit you harder every time
That you get moving; you'll just keep losing
What little bit of mind that you have left
So try and please me, but take it easy
And try to keep your thoughts above the belt
first few lines could possibly be about playing the last show before taking a break. and then the next few lines are about not giving a shit about what the critics have to say.
