Homegrown
Embracing Life's Simple Pleasures: "Homegrown" by Highway Bros
Lyrics
I got a piece of land out in the country side
Refers to owning land in the countryside
Lay back and smell the sun warm up the Georgia pine
Relaxing and enjoying the warmth of the sun among Georgia pine trees
Been so good to me, takin' it easy
Expresses gratitude for the countryside, finding it easy and pleasant
Why would I ever leave?
Rhetorical question emphasizing contentment, implying no reason to leave
'Cause I know
Confident assurance of contentment and satisfaction
I got some good friends that live down the street
Having good friends nearby
Got a good lookin' woman with her arms 'round me
Being in a relationship with an attractive partner
Live in a small town where it feels like home
Living in a small town that feels like a comfortable and familiar place
I've got everything I need, and nothin' that I don't
Having everything necessary and no excess or unnecessary things
Homegrown
Reiteration of the concept of being homegrown
Homegrown
-We got a fire goin', down by the riverside
Describing a gathering around a fire near a riverside
Sip whiskey out the bottle, livin' like we'll never die
Drinking whiskey and embracing a carefree, adventurous attitude towards life
C'mon and stay a while if you don't believe me
Inviting others to stay and experience the lifestyle
Why would I ever leave?
Rhetorical question suggesting no reason to leave
'Cause I know
Confident assurance of contentment and satisfaction (repeat)
I got some good friends that live down the street
Reiteration of having good friends, a partner, and everything needed in a small town
Got a good lookin' woman with her arms 'round me
-Live in a small town where it feels like home
-I've got everything I need, and nothin' that I don't
-Homegrown
Reiteration emphasizing the concept of being homegrown
Homegrown
-Homegrown
-Homegrown
-I got some good friends that live down the street
Reiteration of having friends, partner, and everything needed in a small town (repeat)
Got a good lookin' woman with her arms 'round me
-Here in a small town where it feels like home
-I've got everything I need (homegrown) and nothin' that I don't (homegrown)
-Everything I need (homegrown) and nothin' that I don't (homegrown)
Reiteration of having everything needed and nothing unnecessary
It's the way that you care for the things you think you want
Emphasizing the importance of caring for desired possessions
It's the way that you care for the things you think you want
-It's the way that you care for the things you think you want
-I've got everything I need, nothin' that I don't (homegrown)
Final reiteration emphasizing contentment with what's necessary and absence of excess
Everything I need, nothin' that I don't (homegrown)
-Everything I need, nothin' that I don't (homegrown)
-Ooh everything I need, and nothin' that I don't (homegrown)
