Straight Up Sideways
Weekend Anthem: Embrace Life, Get Straight Up Sideways
Lyrics
There's a reason why we put a week of work in
Expressing the purpose of working throughout the week.
So we can do whatever we want on the weekend
Highlighting the desire to enjoy the weekend freely after a week of work.
It's when you take your blue collar off and let your neck turn red
Symbolizing a shift from work (blue collar) to leisure (redneck) during the weekend.
Everybody does it just a little different
Acknowledging that people have individual ways of enjoying themselves.
So when we wind up all the same, what's the difference?
Questioning the significance of conformity when everyone ends up the same in the end.
Yeah, you better get to livin' it up before you wake up dead
Encouraging seizing the moment and enjoying life before it's too late.
A-tip 'em back 'til you can't walk
Describing various ways of partying and letting loose, using vivid imagery.
Cut loose like a chainsaw
-Plastered like a drywall
-Hammered like an old bent nail
-Jacked up like a four-by
-'Bout as buzzed as a Bud Light
-Long gone as last night
-Loaded like a buckshot shell
-There's more than one way
Suggesting there are multiple approaches to having a good time.
To get straight up sideways
-You can do it in the sticks in Mississippi
Enumerating different locations where people can have a good time, promoting unity.
Or on a rooftop, New York City
-From the Carolina Coast to a California beach
-Y'all raise one up with me
-Tip 'em back 'til you can't walk
Repeating the theme of letting loose with detailed descriptions.
Cut loose like a chainsaw
-Plastered like a drywall
-Hammered like an old bent nail
-Jacked up like a four-by
-'Bout as buzzed as a Bud Light
-Long gone as last night
-Loaded like a buckshot shell
-There's more than one way
Reiterating the idea that there are various ways to have a great time.
To get straight up sideways
-Straight up sideways
Emphasizing the main theme of enjoying life to the fullest in a carefree manner.
A-tip 'em back 'til you can't walk
Continuing the depiction of energetic and carefree celebration.
Cut loose like a chainsaw
-Plastered like a drywall
-Hammered like an old bent nail
-Jacked up like a four-by
-About as buzzed as a Bud Light
-A-long gone as last night
-Loaded like a buckshot shell
-There's more than one way
Highlighting the diversity of ways to enjoy life without constraints.
More than one way
-To get straight up sideways, woo
-Straight up sideways
-Put 'em up
Encouraging everyone to raise a toast and celebrate together.
