Lyrics
Don't have a reason
Expressing a lack of a specific reason
Ain't nothin' wrong
Asserting that there is nothing inherently wrong
Just a man on a mission
Describing oneself as a person with a purpose or goal
To kick it all night long
Expressing a desire to enjoy oneself throughout the night
I'm alive and free
Affirming a sense of vitality and freedom
Body, mind and soul
Referring to the unity of body, mind, and soul
Wanna raise a little hell
Expressing a willingness to create some chaos or excitement
Yeah, I'm ready to roll
Indicating readiness for action or adventure
Sometimes
Introducing a transitional phrase
Ev'ry man should
Suggesting a universal principle that every man should follow
Live it up
Encouraging the idea of living life to the fullest
In the name of no good
Summarizing the theme of living without a specific moral purpose
Jet black jacket
Describing physical attire with a rebellious or edgy connotation
Snake skin boots
Highlighting distinctive and bold footwear
Got money in my pocket
Indicating financial prosperity
I'm on the loose
Conveying a sense of being unrestrained or free
Gonna smoke my pipe
Expressing a relaxed attitude, possibly associated with smoking a pipe
Drink my Jack
Mentioning a specific alcoholic beverage (Jack Daniel's)
Won't worry 'bout tomorrow
Emphasizing a carefree attitude towards the future
Ain't nothin' hold me back
Stating a determination to overcome obstacles
Sometimes
Reiterating the principle introduced in line 10
Ev'ry man should
Encouraging the idea of enjoying life to the fullest
Live it up
Reinforcing the theme of living without moral constraints
In the name of no good
Summarizing the overarching philosophy of the song
Gotta tab at the bar
Describing a tab at the bar, suggesting a night of revelry
Two women tryin' to call
Noting the attention from two women
Bouncer's in the corner
Mentioning a bouncer and the potential for conflict
Waitin' for a brawl
Describing a situation with the potential for violence
Half past one
Indicating a late or early hour, suggesting a prolonged night
Gettin' outta hand
Suggesting a situation becoming uncontrollable
Gonna stay out til the mornin'
Expressing a willingness to stay out until the morning
Or as long as I can stand
Implying a determination to continue despite challenges
Sometimes
Reiterating the universal principle of enjoying life to the fullest
Ev'ry man should
Encouraging the idea of living without moral constraints
Live it up
Summarizing the call to live life boldly
All in the name of no good
Concluding with a repetition of the theme of living without a moral purpose
