A great song like this only has one comment (ok, 2 now), and it's that crap? Anyway, in the South skin it back is a slang to go for it, get to work, git 'er done! The author is afraid to talk to the woman he wants to spend his time with and tell her how he feels and what he wants to do. So he's telling himself to skin it back, tell it to her, in other words, just do it.
