You Ain't Down Home
Unmasked Glamour, Grounded Hearts: Julie Roberts' 'You Ain't Down Home' Tale
Lyrics
You know all the right people
You are acquainted with influential people.
You wear all the right clothes
You dress in a fashionable manner.
You got a snappy little sports car all your own
You own a stylish sports car.
You got the cool conversation on your high tech telephone
You engage in sophisticated conversations using advanced technology.
But you got one little problem, baby
Despite your achievements, there is a significant flaw.
You ain't down him
You lack a connection to a humble and traditional lifestyle.
You ain't down home where the people got their feet on the ground
You are not associated with the down-home culture where people are grounded.
Down home where there's plenty of love to go 'round
Down-home is characterized by abundant love and warmth.
You got the cool conversation on your high tech telephone
Reiteration of your sophisticated communication style.
But you got one little problem, baby
Emphasis on the central problem of being disconnected from a simple lifestyle.
You ain't down home
A repetition of the assertion that you lack a connection to a humble lifestyle.
You got a brand new Jacuzzi
You own a luxurious Jacuzzi.
All your credit cards are gold
Your financial status is elevated with prestigious credit cards.
There ain't a high class place in town where you ain't known
No upscale venue exists where you are not recognized.
You make it all look impressive, yeah you put on quite a show
You present an impressive facade and perform well in public.
But you got one little problem, baby
Reiteration of the central problem – the lack of connection to a humble lifestyle.
You ain't down home
Confirmation that despite appearances, you lack a down-home quality.
You make it all look so impressive, yeah when you're showin' all your dough
Highlighting the disparity between outward displays of wealth and a genuine down-home connection.
But you got one little problem, baby
Re-emphasizing the central problem in the context of showcasing wealth.
You ain't down home
Final confirmation that despite outward appearances, you lack a connection to a down-home lifestyle.
