Plastic Saddle
Riding the Leather: Unveiling Life's True Essence in 'Plastic Saddle'
Lyrics
Well I've got a long black six passenger limousine
Expressing possession of a luxurious six-passenger limousine.
A palace in Dallas a club in New Orleans
Highlighting ownership of a palace in Dallas and a club in New Orleans.
Diamonds on my fingers silk imported clothes
Indicating wealth with diamonds on fingers and imported silk clothes.
And I can tell a fast train by the way she blows
Using the metaphor of recognizing a fast train to show experience.
Don't give me no plastic saddle
Rejecting the idea of a fake or artificial saddle.
Just let me feel that leather when I ride
Expressing a preference for the genuine feeling of leather while riding.
Don't give me no paint and powder woman
Rejecting artificial enhancements like paint and powder on a woman.
This boy likes to feel the hide
Preferring the authentic experience of feeling the natural hide.
False eyelashes and a false foundation
Mentioning false eyelashes and foundation as cosmetic enhancements.
May build your pride
These enhancements may boost pride but are not desired by the speaker.
But don't give me no plastic saddle gal
Reiterating the rejection of a fake or plastic saddle.
Let me feel that leather when I ride
Reemphasizing the desire for the authentic feel of leather while riding.
I'm the cream of societies I'm a man about town
Asserting a high social status and sophistication.
Never looked long for nothin' that I ain't found
Claiming the ability to find what is sought without much effort.
I ain't always right but I ain't never wrong
Acknowledging fallibility but asserting a general correctness.
I know the words to the tune before you sang your song
Claiming familiarity with a situation before others express it.
Don't give me no plastic saddle
Repeating the rejection of an artificial or plastic saddle.
Don't give me no plastic saddle
Reiterating the dislike for a fake or artificial saddle.
