Man of Few Words
Silent Heart, Country Love: Unveiling the Meaning Behind John Morgan's 'Man of Few Words'
Lyrics
If you ask me how my day was, I'd say fine
If someone asks about my day, I'd simply say it was fine.
Or what kind of beer I like to drink I'd say any kind
Regarding beer preference, I'd say I like any kind.
Good old boys like me, we don't say much
People like me, traditional and reserved, don't talk much.
Yeah, I'm more the strong and silent type
I'm more of the strong and silent type.
Yeah, but she comes up and then I'm like
However, when she approaches, my demeanor changes.
She's city pretty but she grew up in the country
Describing a woman who is urban in appearance but has rural roots.
She likes to dance but only when she drinks
She enjoys dancing, especially when she's had a drink.
Her eyes give the sky a run for its money
Her eyes are captivating, comparable to the beauty of the sky.
And make a Tar Heel wanna pull for Tennessee
Her allure is so strong that even someone from North Carolina would support Tennessee.
She's back roads, she's main street, reminds me of home
She embodies both rural and urban qualities, reminiscent of my home.
She's knock out, she's locked down, I could go on and on
She's stunning and has a strong presence; there's much more to say about her.
Talking your ear off but if we're not talking 'bout her
Even though I'm typically reserved, I become talkative when discussing her.
I'm a man of few words
In general, I'm a man of few words.
I'm a pick it up, "What you want?" Phone call, four minutes tops
I keep phone calls short, asking, "What do you want?"
Standing 'round a truckbed, crack a beer, take a sip and nod
In casual settings, like around a truck, I briefly acknowledge with a nod while sipping beer.
Unless you're talking 'bout the girl I love
Unless the topic is the girl I love; then, I become talkative.
Then you can't shut me up, I'm like
When it comes to her, I can't stop talking.
She's city pretty but she grew up in the country
Reiteration of the description of the woman with a mix of urban and rural qualities.
She likes to dance but only when she drinks
She enjoys dancing, especially when she's had a drink.
Her eyes give the sky a run for its money
Her eyes are captivating, comparable to the beauty of the sky.
And make a Tar Heel wanna pull for Tennessee
Her allure is so strong that even someone from North Carolina would support Tennessee.
She's back roads, she's main street, reminds me of home
She embodies both rural and urban qualities, reminiscent of my home.
She's knock out, she's locked down, I could go on and on
She's stunning and has a strong presence; there's much more to say about her.
Talking your ear off but if we're not talking 'bout her
Even though I'm typically reserved, I become talkative when discussing her.
Yeah, I'm a man of few words
Emphasizing that, in general, I'm a man of few words.
Yeah, I'm a man of few words
Reiteration of being a man of few words.
Good old boys like me, we don't say much
Reiteration that individuals like me don't talk much.
I'm more the strong and silent type
Emphasizing again that I am more of the strong and silent type.
Yeah, but she comes up
Reiteration that my reserved nature changes when she is around.
She's city pretty but she grew up in the country
Reiteration of the woman's description with a mix of urban and rural qualities.
