What About Now
Seizing the Moment: Highway Bros' Anthem to Embrace Change
Lyrics
The sign in the window said for sale or trade
The sign displayed in a window indicates that an item is available for sale or exchange.
On the last remaining dinosaur Detroit made
Refers to an automobile, possibly a car manufactured in Detroit, the last of its kind, symbolizing rarity or uniqueness.
Seven hundred dollars was a heck of a deal
An offer of $700 was considered an excellent deal.
For a four-hundred-horsepower jukebox on wheels
The car being described has a powerful engine, likened to a jukebox, emphasizing its entertainment value and strength.
And that road rolls out like a welcome mat
Describes the road ahead as an inviting path or opportunity.
I don't know where it goes, but it beats where we're at
Expresses dissatisfaction with the current situation and suggests a desire for change.
We always said someday, somehow
There was always a mutual agreement or plan for a future departure.
We were gonna get away, gonna blow this town
The intention to escape from the town or current circumstances was strong.
What about now? How 'bout tonight?
Rhetorical question asking why not take action immediately instead of delaying.
Baby, for once let's don't think twice
Encouragement to seize the current opportunity without hesitation.
Let's take that spin that never ends
Metaphorically refers to embarking on a journey that has been longed for.
That we've been talking about
Reiterates the desire for a particular journey or experience.
What about now? Why should we wait?
Questioning the rationale behind delaying plans or dreams.
We can chase these dreams down the interstate
Suggests actively pursuing ambitions while traveling.
And be long gone 'fore the world moves on and makes another round
Expresses the desire to leave before being left behind or before circumstances change.
What about now?
Reiteration of the immediate consideration for action.
We've been puttin' this off, baby, long enough
Procrastination about taking a significant step or decision.
Just give me the word, and we'll be kickin' up dust
Ready to initiate action upon agreement or consent.
We both know it's just a matter of time
Belief that it's inevitable for feelings or desires to drive towards change.
Till our hearts start racin' for that county line
Anticipation of the excitement and thrill of departure towards a different place.
What about now? How 'bout tonight?
Restating the query about immediate action without hesitation.
Baby, for once let's don't think twice
Encouragement to seize the opportunity without overthinking.
Let's take that spin that never ends
Repetition of the desire for an ongoing, never-ending adventure.
That we've been talking about
Reiterates the longing for a particular journey or experience.
What about now? Why should we wait?
Questioning the reason for delaying actions or pursuing aspirations.
We can chase these dreams down the interstate
Encouragement to actively pursue dreams while on the move.
And be long gone 'fore the world moves on and makes another round
Expresses the desire to leave before being left behind or before circumstances change.
What about now?
Reiteration of the immediate consideration for action.
We could hang around this town forever making plans
Reflects on the tendency to stay in the comfort of familiar surroundings while planning for the future.
But there won't ever be a better time to take this chance
Emphasizes the importance of seizing the current opportunity rather than waiting for a better moment.
