Lyrics
Who knows
Expressing uncertainty about the future
I might wind up on the cover of a Rolling Stone
Imagining potential success, fame, and recognition
With a pair of shades and a Grammy in my hand
Visualizing winning a Grammy and being recognized
Just a blue jean boy in a great big world of yes
Feeling like a small-town person in a vast world of opportunities
I got my speech already in my head
Preparing a speech for potential success or achievement
Then I'll say, then I'll say, yeah, I'll say
Anticipating gratitude and acknowledgment in a hypothetical success scenario
Thank you uncle Dean for teaching me La Bamba on guitar
Gratefulness to an uncle for teaching guitar skills
Thank you girl from Broken Bow who shot an arrow through my heart
Thanking someone from Broken Bow who impacted emotionally
Thank you mama for the roll and
Gratitude towards mother for nurturing
Thank you daddy for the rock
Appreciation for father's influence or guidance
Most of all, most of all
Emphasizing gratitude as the primary sentiment
Thanks to the bulls that bucked me off, woo
Thanking life challenges (bulls) for teaching lessons despite difficulties
Aw, hell what if
Contemplating the possibility of turning personal experiences into successful music
I turn the rhymes up in my mind into a hit
Imagining turning thoughts into a successful song
Then it played a hundred times a day on the radio
Envisioning widespread recognition and airplay for the song
Then it gave a little broken heart somewhere some hope
Believing the song can offer hope to those experiencing heartbreak
And I'd jump up on the stage and the chorus would go
Envisioning a scenario of performing the song with an audience echoing the chorus
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Describing the potential chorus of the imagined song
Thank you uncle Dean for teaching me La Bamba on guitar
Reiterating thanks to an uncle for guitar guidance
Thank you girl from Broken Bow who shot an arrow through my heart
Remembering someone from Broken Bow who impacted romantically
Thank you mama for the roll and
Thanking mother again for her role in upbringing
Thank you daddy for the rock
Acknowledging father's influence once more
Most of all, most of all
Reaffirming gratitude as the overarching theme
Thanks to the bulls that bucked me off
Gratitude towards life challenges (bulls) despite their difficulties
Every knock down in the dirt
Reflecting on past struggles and challenges
Every no I ever heard
Recalling moments of rejection or negativity
Sure feel good to laugh when I look back and flip the bull the bird
Finding humor and satisfaction in overcoming challenges and defying negativity
Every nail that ripped my shirt
Referencing past hardships (nail ripping shirt) as lessons learned
Every no I ever heard
Recalling previous instances of rejection
Sure feel good to laugh when I look back and flip the bull the bird
Deriving satisfaction and amusement from overcoming past challenges
Then I'll say, then I'll say, then I'll say
Reiterating the anticipation of expressing gratitude
Thank you uncle Dean for teaching me La Bamba on guitar
Continued appreciation for guitar instruction from an uncle
Thank you girl from Broken Bow who shot an arrow through my heart
Recollecting a significant romantic encounter from Broken Bow
Thank you Lynchburg for the nights I needed edges took away
Thanking a place (Lynchburg) for providing needed experiences
Thank you vinyl for the soundtrack to my life, it's sure been great
Expressing gratitude for the music that shaped life experiences
Thank you mama for the roll and
Reiterating thanks to mother for nurturing
Thank you daddy for the rock
Acknowledging father's influence and guidance again
Most of all, most of all
Emphasizing gratitude as the dominant feeling
Thanks to the bulls that bucked me off
Thanking life challenges (bulls) for the lessons despite hardships
Yeah, most of all
Emphasizing gratitude, particularly towards life's challenges
Thank you each and every bull that bucked me off
Expressing immense gratitude to every challenge faced
And I say, and I say, and I say, and I say
Reiteration of the anticipation of expressing gratitude
