Lyrics

I'm

Introduction of the speaker

From a place where we shoot fireworks in July

Describing a place where fireworks are common in July

And we drive slower on the dirt roads to pass time

Highlighting the leisurely pace of life, driving slowly on dirt roads

And find the perfect girl and stick with her for life

Expressing a desire for a lifelong commitment with a perfect girl

And we don't got much

Acknowledging a lack of material wealth

But when I do I'll

Anticipating a future time when the speaker has more

I'll give my mama a call

Commitment to call the speaker's mother

Give my daddy a truck

Expressing a desire to provide a truck for the speaker's father

Give my girl a little loving for now

Promising affection for the speaker's current romantic partner

I should just

Contemplating actions towards the speaker's ex-girlfriend

Give my ex girl her shit back and give her the bird

Suggesting returning belongings to the ex-girlfriend and expressing frustration

Give my boss a little attitude for making me work all night

Expressing discontent with the boss for long working hours

twelve pack of bud light

Mentioning a twelve-pack of Bud Light, possibly as a coping mechanism

Sitting around the fireplace

Imagining a scene of relaxation around a fireplace

two seat cab Chevrolet not meant for highways

Describing a Chevrolet with a two-seat cab not suitable for highways

Cedar wood four bed three bath by a lake

Envisioning a home by a lake with specific features

That's how I would have it all if I could have it my way

Expressing a desire for this ideal life

Carolina born and raised

Stating the speaker's origin in North Carolina

Never took the shorter way

Emphasizing the speaker's preference for the longer, harder path

I ran out of money while I waited for my quarter pay

Facing financial challenges while waiting for payment

Took a two day drive to try to get up in the door way

Undertaking a journey to open new opportunities

And when I do I'll

Reiterating the commitment to call the speaker's mother

I'll give my mama a call

Reaffirming the desire to provide a truck for the speaker's father

Give my daddy a truck

Promising love to the speaker's current romantic partner

Give my girl a little loving for now

Contemplating actions towards the ex-girlfriend

I should just

Expressing frustration with the boss for long working hours

Give my ex girl her shit back and give her the bird

Mentioning a twelve-pack of Bud Light again

Give my boss a little attitude for making me work all night

Imagining a scene of relaxation around a fireplace again

twelve pack of bud light

Describing the two-seat cab Chevrolet not meant for highways again

Sitting around the fireplace

Reiterating the vision of a home by a lake with specific features

two seat cab Chevrolet not meant for highways

Reaffirming the desire for an ideal life

Cedar wood four bed three bath by a lake

Continuing to emphasize the speaker's North Carolina roots

That's how I would have it all if I could have it my way

Repeating the expression of a desire for an ideal life
