Just Another White Boy
Rebel Riffs and Rock's Echo: Life's Blues According to Nashville Pussy
Lyrics
My whole world is dead and gone
Expressing a feeling of loss or emptiness in life.
And getting deader by the minute
The situation is worsening continuously.
From now on
Committing to a new way of living from this point forward.
Spent all my time chasing fun
Used time pursuing enjoyment, but the memories are vague or absent.
Don't remember much of it
Unable to recall significant portions of past experiences.
Now that it's done
Reflecting on past actions now that they're completed.
Most of you may not know my name
Not widely recognized or known.
To some I'm a bum
Seen as a vagrant or someone without a stable lifestyle by some.
To others a king
Regarded highly by certain people, potentially for achievements.
Got the hell out of Kentucky
Left Kentucky, took a risk or opportunity elsewhere.
And took a chance
Took a bold step and ventured into something new.
Doing pretty good under the circumstance
Doing relatively well given the challenging situation.
Too late now
Realizing it's too late to make changes to current circumstances.
Too late to change the way I'm living
Recognizing the inability to alter the current way of life.
Too late now
Questioning the desire or need to change given the circumstances.
Why the hell would I even want to
Expressing resistance or lack of motivation to change.
Too late
Reiterating the feeling that it's too late for alterations.
I've gone and paid almost all
Having already paid most of the consequences for actions.
my dues
Referring to having faced and dealt with consequences.
At a time when the world had more than it could use
Describing a time when the world was abundant.
I'm just another white boy
Identifying oneself as a white person attempting to play blues music.
That thinks he can play the blues
Recognizing a personal attempt to emulate a particular music genre.
Gonna finish this life going hard
Intending to live life intensely and swiftly till the end.
and fast
Describing oneself as a relic from the more appealing past of rock music.
Just a relic of rock's cooler past
Being a nostalgic reminder of rock's past glory.
If you wanna hear about me
Inviting people to learn about oneself by attending performances.
Come to a show
Encouraging attendance at shows to understand more about the persona.
But you can't hang around
Suggesting an inability to keep up with the pace or lifestyle.
Cause you move too slow
Implying that slow individuals can't keep up or engage.
