Paint the Town Redneck
Blue Collar Dreams in Neon Lights
Lyrics
All week long I been workin' that nine to five
Expressing the routine work from Monday to Friday.
Dreamin' in color but livin' in black and white
Dreaming in color symbolizes aspirations, but living in black and white represents a mundane reality.
Monday to Friday ain't nothing but shades of gray
Describing the weekdays as dull and uneventful.
But tonight I'm gonna party
Anticipating a break from the routine to enjoy and have fun.
All my blue collar blues away
Using the evening to escape the hardships and stresses of blue-collar work.
I'm a paint the town redneck when I get my paycheck
Describing a carefree, fun-loving attitude when receiving a paycheck.
You ought to see my Chevy van go
Highlighting a sense of pride in the speaker's vehicle, a Chevy van.
Headin' for the bright lights, I'll be painting all night
Expressing the excitement of heading towards lively and vibrant places.
I'm a honky tonkin' Michelangelo
Comparing the speaker's enjoyment to the skill of honky-tonk and the artistry of Michelangelo.
Picasso with a pool stick
Juxtaposing the speaker's carefree attitude with the seriousness of a painter like Picasso.
Too loose with a two step

Rollin' till my green's all gone

We can get there early
Proposing to arrive early at the destination.
And draw us a pitcher of beer
Suggesting a plan to enjoy a pitcher of beer and dance to chase away the blues.
Do a little dancin' and make the blues disappear
Highlighting the power of music and dance to lift spirits.
Brushin' up against each other in the neon light
Describing a close, intimate encounter in a lively atmosphere.
You can be my Mona Lisa and I'll make you smile tonight
