Best Girl on the Lot
Love's Return Flight: Rediscovering the Best Girl on the Lot
Lyrics
Don't worry Baby
Expressing reassurance or comfort to someone, likely the addressed "Baby."
I have not forgotten the way
Acknowledging a memory and indicating it hasn't been forgotten.
I'd take an airplane across the ocean to your place
Expressing willingness to make a significant effort, even crossing an ocean, to be with someone.
And when I arrived, I'm quite sure that I would find
Anticipating arrival and expecting to find familiar items at the destination.
Your porch, your rake, your gloves
Listing specific items - porch, rake, gloves - associated with the person, creating a sense of intimacy.
You always loved to pick up leaves
Recalling a specific activity the person enjoyed, adding depth to the description.
And if you think we could pick up where we left off
Suggesting a desire to resume a relationship and reconnect emotionally.
I promise I would be the best girl on the lot
Promising to be the best option or partner, perhaps indicating personal growth or change.
'Cause time it has come
Indicating the passage of time and its transformative effects.
And all the work that it has done on me
Reflecting on personal growth or change resulting from life experiences.
Could you use a little sugar with your cream
Suggesting the speaker's willingness to add sweetness or positivity to the relationship.
I know now there's a girl who holds my place
Acknowledging the existence of someone else in the speaker's life.
But honey tell me true
Questioning the new person's significance and whether they truly replace the speaker.
Is she all that you replaced
Seeking truth about the new person and their role in the addressed person's life.
If she is I will center myself again
Expressing readiness to find balance and center oneself if the new person indeed takes the place.
I don't mean confusion just to have my way
Clarifying the intention to avoid causing confusion or seeking control in the situation.
But if you think I've a better idea
Opening the possibility of an alternative plan or solution to the current situation.
I would fly right back to Old Alabama again
Expressing a willingness to return to a previous location, indicating commitment to the relationship.
And I would pack up a single suitcase
Describing a simple and decisive action of packing, suggesting a commitment to the relationship.
For all my possessions are in your bedroom.
Highlighting the intimate connection by mentioning the location of the speaker's possessions.
Your bedroom
Repetition of "Your bedroom," emphasizing the significance and personal connection to the space.
