Bigger Man
Struggling with Shadows: Unveiling the Depths of 'Bigger Man'
Lyrics
I've been working like a train tonight
I've been working hard and consistently, like a train.
I've been working everyone in sight
I've been engaging with everyone around me.
Just want to get what's mine
Expressing a desire to receive what is rightfully earned.
Nobody gonna waste my time
Determined not to let anyone waste time.
Hey lordy momma, babe I do the best I can
An appeal for understanding and acknowledgment of doing the best possible.
We ain't poor we got a credit card
Asserting financial stability with the possession of a credit card.
Bought it all from a catalog
Acquired belongings through a catalog, indicating a consumerist lifestyle.
Well I'm sorry about the money that I spent on smokes
Expressing regret over money spent on cigarettes.
I've never been good at letting go
Struggling to let go of things, possibly possessions or habits.
Hey lordy momma, babe I do the best I can
Reiteration of doing the best in challenging circumstances.
Don't let me be
Plea not to be burdened with the expectation of being the bigger person in conflicts.
Don't let me be
-Don't let me be, don't let me be the bigger man
-You're cold and lonely like me tonight
Acknowledging shared loneliness and expressing a desire for comfort.
Wanna cuddle make it all alright
Expressing a wish to cuddle and make things better.
Run over everything I'm worth
Willing to go to great lengths to prove one's worth.
Let me show you the meaning of hurt
Offering to demonstrate the depth of emotional pain.
Hey lordy momma, babe I do the best I can
Reiteration of doing the best in challenging circumstances.
Work hard got city-soft hands
Balancing hard work with maintaining soft hands from city living.
I broke my motivator, tavern tan
Broken motivation and a tan from spending time in taverns.
Sleeper cab that I call home
A truck's sleeper cab as a makeshift home.
I've slept with women with troubles worse than my own
Referencing past relationships with women facing greater challenges.
Hey lordy momma, babe I do the best I can
Repetition of doing the best in challenging circumstances.
Hey lordy momma, babe I do the best I can
-I woke up to you killing all the chickens in the kitchen
Waking up to a chaotic situation involving domestic struggles.
You tried to leave me heartbeat but you're missin' all the bitchin'
A partner attempting to leave amid heated arguments.
You can pull up stakes and move on
Suggesting the option to move on and start anew.
Arizona, Tucson
Specifically mentioning Arizona and Tucson, perhaps as a potential destination.
Get up in the mornin' with a letter sayin' Get Gone
Receiving a letter prompting departure.
Don't let me be
Repeating the plea not to be burdened with the expectation of being the bigger person.
Don't let me be
-Don't let me be, don't let me be the bigger man
