Back Door
Secrets Behind Closed Doors
Lyrics
Woah yea-e-yea-yeah
Expression of surprise or emphasis
Work truck headed south bound
Describes a work truck moving south
The rain was falling down
Setting the scene of rain falling
I could see through the foggy smoke that girl's been messing around
Observing through smoke, suspicion of infidelity
She told me she loved me but she had five more
Contradiction in her words and actions, suggesting dishonesty
Sneaking and crawling on my backdoor
Implies secretive behavior, potentially betrayal
I woke up in the middle of the night it was thundering rain
Awakening to a stormy night
I thought I'd heard that whistle blowing like a passenger train
Hearing a sound reminiscent of a train whistle
Look in the mirror got a busted lip
Physical evidence of a confrontation or fight
I guess it was the night before
Reflecting on the previous night's events
When I caught a good buzz and heard footsteps on my back door
Recalling a drunken state and hearing footsteps near the back door
I keep my past in the pine rows
Keeping past experiences hidden or suppressed
Way down in the mud holes
Referring to a secluded, muddy location
Can't let it out it's been outlawed
Unable to express certain things due to societal restrictions
Like a twelve gauge sawed off
Comparing emotional suppression to a prohibited firearm
Like a cowboy on the plains
Feeling restrained like a cowboy on the plains
Sipping grain liquor let it spark a blue flame
Indulging in alcohol to cope with emotions
Every time it's raining I'm pouring
Associating rain with pouring out emotions
Don't go knock knocking on the door
Warning against approaching or seeking entry
Put fifty in an old truck and let me just ride away
Expressing a desire to escape, using an old truck
Trotting like a mustang on a dirt wagon highway
Describing a carefree, adventurous ride
I wanna feel the roots the boots but I'm stuck on the floor
Longing for a connection to roots and traditions
I can hear the screeching on my back door
Hearing unsettling sounds at the back door
Woah yea-e-yea-yeah
Repetition of the initial expression of surprise or emphasis
