Bowlegged And Starving Lyrics

Mine too. The song is about coming home from a hook-up. It's also about not relying your happiness on that of another person and not spending your life desperately looking for the fabled 'love of your life' and just enjoying the moment. It's kind of happy and kind of cynical in a way.

But the line 'Love is a buried treasure' still betrays that he hopes someday he will still find it, just that he won't actively seek it and hinge all his happiness on it like a lot of people do who end up being miserable.
