Get Outta My Yard
Love's Chains Broken: Escaping the Past in 'Get Outta My Yard'
Lyrics
You're waking up my neighbors crying, screaming out my name
You're disturbing my neighbors with your loud crying and screaming my name.
I guess somebody must've let the dog off of his chain
It seems like someone allowed a situation to get out of control.
You're telling me you love me through a wild turkey slur
You're expressing love with slurred speech, possibly under the influence of alcohol (wild turkey).
No sir, no sir
Denying the validity of the love declaration.
Get outta my yard
Commanding the person to leave the speaker's property.
Get outta my life
Insisting on the person exiting the speaker's life.
Go back to the bar
Suggesting the person returns to a bar.
Go back to your wife
Advising the person to go back to their spouse.
You should a got the message when I said my first goodbye
Reiterating the importance of the previous goodbye and signaling the end of the relationship.
If you think that what we did means anything, you must be high
Dismissing any significance in their past actions, implying the person is mistaken.
Said you wanted to get married, boy, but you already were
Pointing out the contradiction in wanting marriage when the person is already married.
No sir, no sir
Rejecting the idea of marriage.
Get outta my yard
Reiterating the command to leave the speaker's property.
Get outta my head
Emphasizing the need for the person to leave the speaker's thoughts.
Get off a my street
Instructing the person to leave the speaker's immediate surroundings.
Go back to your bed
Suggesting the person returns to their own bed or life.
Forget where I live
Encouraging the person to forget where the speaker lives.
Forget what we did
Advising the person to forget the past actions between them.
This ain't a motel
Clarifying that the speaker's place is not a temporary stay like a motel.
This ain't a bar
Reiterating that the speaker's place is not a bar for socializing.
Get outta my yard
Repeating the command to leave the speaker's property.
When she was rocking babies where did she think that you were
Questioning the person's whereabouts when someone else was taking care of responsibilities (rocking babies).
They're the only thing that's keeping me from telling her
Hinting at a potential revelation to the person's partner but holding back due to the babies.
Yes sir, oh, yes sir
Acknowledging the truth but maintaining discretion.
Get outta my yard
Repeating the command to leave the speaker's property.
Get outta my head
Emphasizing the need for the person to leave the speaker's thoughts.
Get off a my street
Instructing the person to leave the speaker's immediate surroundings.
Go back to your bed
Suggesting the person returns to their own bed or life.
Forget where I live
Encouraging the person to forget where the speaker lives.
Forget what we did
Advising the person to forget the past actions between them.
This ain't a motel
Clarifying that the speaker's place is not a temporary stay like a motel.
This ain't a bar
Reiterating that the speaker's place is not a bar for socializing.
Get outta my yard
Repeating the command to leave the speaker's property.
This ain't a motel
Clarifying again that the speaker's place is not a temporary stay like a motel.
This ain't a bar
Reiterating that the speaker's place is not a bar for socializing.
