Room For Two
Roots and Romance: Jake Yantz's Country Tale in 'Room For Two'
Lyrics
If she likes a ball cap and faded out boots
If she appreciates a guy who wears a ball cap and worn-out boots
And a boy who won't forget his roots
And desires a man who remains connected to his origins
If she likes mud tires and she likes bonfires
If she enjoys activities like off-road driving and gatherings around open fires
Well I've got room for two
The singer indicates he has space for a companion who shares these interests
I got a single cab waiting out back
Describing his vehicle - a single cab truck parked outside
33s and she's worn out black
Referring to the truck's large, well-worn tires
Just finished a 7 to 5 and it's just about time
The singer just finished working from 7 AM to 5 PM
For me to crush a cold Bud Light
It's time for him to relax with a cold Bud Light beer
I throw my boots on and grab my hat
Putting on his boots and grabbing his hat, getting ready to go out
Climb in and put my foot to the mat
Entering his truck and accelerating
I'm headed to Salem to listen to Waylon with the boys off of the 8th line
Heading to Salem to listen to Waylon Jennings with friends from the 8th line (possibly a rural reference)
If she likes a ball cap and faded out boots
Repetition of the qualities he's looking for in a companion
And a boy who won't forget his roots
Reiterating the desired qualities in a girl
If she likes mud tires and she likes bonfires
Reiterating shared interests in mud tires and bonfires
Well I've got room for two
Reaffirming his availability for a compatible partner
I met this girl from down the street
Introducing a girl he meets in the neighborhood
Little blue eyes staring at me
Describing her physical appearance with blue eyes
She said I know a spot I like a lot
She suggests a favorite spot, and he agrees to go with her
I took her hand and said come on let's go
He takes her hand, and they decide to go to the mentioned spot
She's wearing cut off Levi's
Details about her clothing, cut-off Levi's and a worn band t-shirt
And a beat up band t shirt
Continuation of the description of her appearance
I asked her what's your type
Asking about her preferences, and she responds with a comforting embrace
She just held me tight
Her response implies a strong connection without the need for words
I didn't even have to say a word
Expressing the depth of their connection without verbal communication
If you like a ball cap and faded out boots
Returning to the qualities he desires in a partner
And a boy who won't forget his roots
Expressing readiness to accommodate a compatible partner
If you like mud tires and you like bonfires
Restating the shared interests in mud tires and bonfires
Honey I've got room for two yeah
Reassuring that there is space for a partner with these interests
Now the years have rolled on by
Reflecting on the passage of time and the presence of the girl in his life
I look at her there by my side
Observing the girl by his side after several years
And said what made you stay all of these days
Asking what made her stay with him for so long
She said boy you oughta know by now
Her response suggests that the singer embodies the qualities she values
I like a ball cap and faded out boots
Reiteration of the desired qualities in a partner
And boy who won't forget his roots
Reiterating that she appreciates someone true to their roots
I like mud tires and I like bonfires
Reiterating shared interests in mud tires and bonfires
That sure sounds a lot like you
Confirming that the singer embodies the qualities she likes
Yeah she likes a ball cap and faded out boots
Reiterating the qualities she appreciates in a partner
And a boy who won't forget his roots
Reiterating the appreciation for someone grounded in their roots
Yeah she likes mud tires and she likes bonfires
Reiterating shared interests in mud tires and bonfires
And she filled up my room for two
Expressing that she has become a significant part of his life
She filled up my room for two
Repetition of the impact she has had by filling up his life
Yeah she filled up my room for two yeah
Repetition, emphasizing the impact of the girl filling his life
Yeah she filled up my room for two
Final emphasis on the girl filling a significant space in his life
