Lyrics

Well little-by-little and blow-by-blow

Gradual and detailed, step-by-step, experiencing setbacks in various towns.

It's the little breakin' downs in the towns you know

Refers to the breakdowns or challenges in small communities.

I'm chokin' on this bitter pill

Feeling overwhelmed or struggling with a difficult situation.

Now I'm headed back to Louisville

Returning or going back to the city of Louisville.


Whoa, oh, oh

Repetition emphasizing the singer's journey back to Louisville.

Whoa, oh, oh-oh

-

Whoa, oh, oh

-

I'm headed back to Louisville

-

Now don't worry, baby, she said it's fine

Assuring someone not to worry; sharing possessions and responsibilities.

What's mine is yours and what's yours is mine

Expressing a sense of equality or mutual sharing in the relationship.

She'd clean my cup but it's [?]

Unclear line, possibly indicating a small domestic detail or routine.

Now I'm headed back to Louisville

Reiteration of the decision to return to Louisville despite circumstances.


Whoa, oh, oh

Repeating the chorus, underscoring the determination to return to Louisville.

Whoa, oh, oh-oh

-

Whoa, oh, oh

-

I'm headed back to Louisville

-

The queen bee buzzin' 'round my bedroom door

Symbolic reference to a significant woman in the singer's life.

I don't know who she's lookin' for

Uncertainty about the intentions of the mentioned woman.

Sweet sacrifice comin' for the kill

Suggesting a significant but challenging sacrifice approaching.

Now I'm headed back to Louisville

Reaffirmation of the decision to return to Louisville despite sacrifices.


Whoa, oh, oh

Repeating the chorus, emphasizing the singer's determination to go back to Louisville.

Whoa, oh, oh-oh

-

Whoa, oh, oh

-

I'm headed back to Louisville
