Put me Down
Riding Life's Highs: Jukebox County's Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
I was feeling like a million bucks
Expressing a positive and confident feeling, comparable to being wealthy.
with my lady on my shoulder in a pick-up truck
Enjoying a good time with a romantic partner in a pickup truck.
luck had stung me like a sweet angel's kiss
Feeling fortunate, as if luck came unexpectedly like a sweet angel's kiss.
thinking to myself it don't get better than this
Reflecting on the current moment and acknowledging its excellence.
why do you try to put me down
Questioning why someone is trying to bring the speaker down.
when the world's helping you turn that life around?
Pointing out the contradiction in trying to bring someone down when the world is supportive of positive changes.
I'm a sucker for a good time
Expressing a fondness for enjoyable experiences.
I'll spark a doobie with a mouth full of mountain wine
Indicating a carefree attitude, willing to enjoy life with unconventional activities.
out on the corner countin' make-believe stars
Imagining a scenario of counting imaginary stars on a street corner.
feeling the jive rhythm bluesy guitar

when the world's helping you turn that life around?

don't take it form me

you teach yourself, you see
Emphasizing self-education as a valuable tool.
well a crash-course burns
Suggesting that a quick, intense learning experience can be challenging but beneficial.
yeah, in time you'll learn
Implying that with time, one will understand and appreciate the lessons learned.
but don't take it from me
Reiterating the importance of personal choice in the learning process.
you choose yourself you see
Encouraging autonomy in decision-making for one's own growth.
well a crash-course burns
Repeating the idea that intensive learning may be challenging but valuable over time.
yeah, in time you'll learn
Reiterating the concept that with time, one will gain understanding and wisdom.

while sounds ring souls on fire
Describing a situation where sounds evoke passionate emotions.
you never feel like a puppet on a fish-wire
Expressing a feeling of freedom and not being controlled like a puppet.
just a drifter in a wavering plot
Portraying a sense of drifting without a fixed path.
luck seeping at the tip of every fresh thought
Describing luck as a constant presence at the edge of every new thought.
why do you try to put me down
Reiterating the confusion about why someone is trying to undermine the speaker.
