Lyrics
Sands storms swamp this town
Sandstorms engulf this town, suggesting chaos or upheaval.
It hasn't got much but what ever is left is mine
The town has little left, but whatever remains belongs to the singer.
You're a little bit too much
Addressing someone as excessive or overwhelming.
Dressed like you're royalty
The person is dressed as if they are of royal status.
But there's only one queen baby
There's only one true leader, despite appearances.
You say you're better than me
The person claims superiority over the singer.
I'm inclined to disagree
The singer disagrees with the claim of superiority.
So let me prove you wrong the right way
The singer intends to prove the other person wrong in the right manner.
The treasure is mine and will be for all time
The treasure belongs to the singer and will remain so indefinitely.
So if you want to get to him you'll have to deal with me
To reach someone, the other person must confront the singer.
(with me with me)
Reinforcing the notion of confronting the singer to reach the person.
Go on and take another shot
Encouragement to take another attempt or chance.
Go on and give me all you got so
Encouraging the other person to give their best.
No time to talk now maybe
There's no time for discussion, focus on action.
Let our guns go and do the work
Using force or aggression to resolve the situation.
Dirty love dead in the earth
Love is deteriorating or failing.
For him we take a bullet
Willingness to take a bullet or face danger for someone.
That's the way the loner rolls
Describing the behavior or lifestyle of someone who prefers solitude.
Seems he's playing a game
The person is playing a game with multiple partners.
And the cards are marked with many women's faces and names
The situation involves deceit or manipulation with various individuals.
It's time to think and not to love
It's time to think logically, not emotionally.
For there's none of the above
There's no genuine love present.
He holds nothing in his soul
The person lacks depth or emotional connection.
He won't stay long
The person won't stay for long.
Now the beers are all gone
Resources are depleted.
And petticoats discarded
Symbolic removal of formalities or pretenses.
The dog he's pissed
A dog marking its territory, symbolizing dominance.
Against a tree marking his territory but no more
No longer asserting dominance or control.
(no more no more)
Emphasizing the cessation of dominance or control.
Go on and take another shot
Encouragement to take another chance or shot.
Go on and give me all you got so
Requesting the other person to give their best effort.
No time to talk now maybe
There's no time for discussion, focus on action.
Let our guns go and do the work
Using force or aggression to resolve the situation.
Dirty love dead in the earth
Love is deteriorating or failing.
For him we take a bullet
Willingness to take a bullet or face danger for someone.
That's the way the loner rolls
Describing the behavior or lifestyle of someone who prefers solitude.
No time to talk no maybe
Reiteration of the urgency for action over discussion.
No time to talk no maybe
-No time to talk no maybe
-No time to talk no maybe
-Let our guns go and do the work
Using force or aggression to resolve the situation.
Dirty love dead in the earth
Love is deteriorating or failing.
For him we take a bullet
Willingness to take a bullet or face danger for someone.
That's the way the loner rolls
Reiterating the behavior of a solitary individual.
That's the way the loner rolls
-That's the way
Reinforcement of taking action rather than discussing.
Let our guns go and do the work
Using force or aggression to resolve the situation.
Dirty love dead in the earth
Love is deteriorating or failing.
For him we take a bullet
Willingness to take a bullet or face danger for someone.
That's the way the loner rolls
Describing the behavior or lifestyle of someone who prefers solitude.
That's the way the loner rolls
