Right in the Middle
Chris Janson's Musical Fusion: Right in the Middle of Honky-Tonk, Hip-Hop, and Rock
Lyrics
Yes, some'll call me honky-tonk, little bit of hip-hop
Describes a mix of musical styles, including honky-tonk, hip-hop, and rock and roll.
Little bit of rock and roll
Reiterates the mix of musical influences.
I don't care what you call me, you can call me what you want
Expresses indifference to labels, invites others to call the artist what they want.
Just call me when the good time's on
Wants to be called when there's a good time happening.
'Cause I ain't all backbeat, I ain't all East Street
Denies being exclusively tied to a particular music style or rhythm.
I ain't all saw on the fiddle
Rejects being limited to a specific instrument (fiddle).
I ain't left, I ain't right, I'm
States political neutrality, not leaning left or right.
Just right in the middle
Emphasizes being in the middle, possibly suggesting a balanced or moderate stance.
Boom, goin' off like a pistol
Expresses enthusiasm for parties and being at the center of the action.
Coming in like a missile
-If there's a party you can bet I'm gonna be right in the middle
-You can blow that whistle
-Look what I ain't stoppin'
-Gonna keep it rockin', poppin', boots be stompin'
-Right in the middle
-Now, I'm a little bit of old-school, little bit of new-school
Acknowledges a mix of old-school and new-school influences.
Little bit of right-on-time
Highlights being timely and current.
Lord, but if I'm gonna do it, gonna do it up right
Commits to doing things right and all night long.
Now, damn sure do it all night, that's right
-Boom, goin' off like a pistol
Reiterates the artist's presence and participation in lively events and parties.
Coming in like a missile
-If there's a party you can bet I'm gonna be right in the middle
-You can blow that whistle
-Look what I ain't stoppin'
-Gonna keep it rockin', poppin', boots be stompin'
-Right in the middle
-It goes like boom, goin' off like a pistol
Repeats the theme of being at the center of the party and keeping the energy high.
Coming in like a missile
-If there's a party you can bet I'm gonna be right in the middle
-You can blow that whistle
-Look what I ain't stoppin'
-Gonna keep it rockin', poppin', boots be stompin'
-Right in the middle
