Peaches
Savoring Nature's Sweet Bounty: A Journey with R.L. Burnside's Peaches
Lyrics
Movin' to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches
Movin' to the country, expressing a desire to relocate
I'm movin' to the country, I'm gonna eat me a lot of peaches
Reiteration of the intention to move to the countryside and enjoy peaches
I'm movin' to the country, I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches
Continued emphasis on the plan to move and indulge in peaches
Movin' to the country, I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches
Repetition of the decision to move to the country and consume peaches
Peaches come from a can, they were put there by a man
Highlighting that peaches come from cans, implying a processed nature
In a factory downtown
Specifying that the peaches are manufactured in a downtown factory
If I had my little way, I'd eat peaches everyday
Expressing a desire to eat peaches regularly if given the choice
Sun soaked in bowls just in the shade
Imagery of sun-soaked peaches in bowls, suggesting a pleasant setting
Movin' to the country, I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches
Reaffirming the plan to move to the country for peach consumption
Movin' to the country, I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches
Repetition of the intention to move to the countryside for peaches
I'm movin to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches
Stating the decision to move to the country for peach enjoyment
Movin' to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches
Reiteration of the choice to relocate for the purpose of eating peaches
I took a little nap where the roots all twist
Describing a nap taken where the roots twist, indicating a natural environment
Squished a rotten peach in my fist
Describing squishing a rotten peach, possibly symbolizing life's imperfections
And dreamed about you woman
Dreaming about a woman, introducing a personal element to the narrative
I poked my finger down inside, makin' a little room for a ant to hide
Inserting a finger to make room for an ant, suggesting interaction with nature
Nature's candy in my hand or can or a pie
Referring to peaches as "Nature's candy," emphasizing their natural origin
Millions of peaches, peaches for me
Expressing the abundance of peaches, possibly metaphorical for life's richness
Millions of peaches, peaches for free
Repeating the idea of numerous peaches being available for free
Millions of peaches, peaches for me
Reiterating the abundance of peaches, reinforcing the idea of plenty
Millions of peaches, peaches for free
Emphasizing the availability of peaches in large quantities without cost
Look Out!
A cautionary phrase, possibly signaling a change or potential danger
Millions of peaches, peaches for me
Repeating the notion of countless peaches being accessible
Millions of peaches, peaches for free
Reiterating the idea of abundant and free peaches
Millions of peaches, peaches for me
Repeating the concept of numerous peaches available for consumption
Millions of peaches, peaches for free
Emphasizing once again the abundance of peaches without a cost
Look Out!
A repeated caution, possibly suggesting ongoing awareness or readiness
