Mississippi Queen
Anthem of Thirst: Mississippi Queen's Quest
Lyrics
Are you gonna give me some of
Expressing anticipation or desire for whiskey
That whiskey
Referring to the hidden whiskey in someone's bag
You're trying to hide in your bag
Highlighting the risk of provoking anger by hiding whiskey
Getting me mad seems risky
Emphasizing the speaker's reaction when irritated
You know how I get when I nag
Stating the speaker's nagging behavior
I seem to be low on moisture
Describing a personal feeling of dryness or lack of something
And that's definitely not my choice sir
Expressing that the dryness is not a preferred state
I need to get up and make some noise
Declaring the need to make noise or take action
Cause this is my time to shine
Emphasizing the speaker's moment to shine or excel
I got my suit on and I'm ready to roll
Indicating readiness and preparation with a suit
Shoe shine on and an anxious soul
Mentioning a polished shoe and a restless spirit
Count me in and I'll blow some steam
Offering to contribute and release tension
Like the mighty Mississippi Queen
Comparing the speaker's release to the powerful Mississippi Queen
You know a boat needs it's water
Drawing a parallel between a boat and its need for water and the speaker's needs
That same idea applies to me
Reiterating the connection between the speaker and the boat's necessity for water
Why don't you have a look in
Suggesting a search in the bag for more whiskey
That bag of yours
Requesting the pouring of whiskey
And poor me up a finger or two
Expressing a desire for a significant amount of whiskey
I got my suit on and I'm ready to roll
Reiterating readiness and preparedness
Shoe shine on and an anxious soul
Repeating the image of polished shoes and an anxious soul
Count me in and I'll blow some steam
Offering to release tension again
Like the mighty Mississippi Queen
Reiterating the powerful release akin to the Mississippi Queen
You know a boat needs it's water
Reemphasizing the connection between the speaker and the boat's need for water
That same idea applies to me
Restating the parallel between the boat and the speaker's needs
Why don't you have a look in
Suggesting another check in the bag for whiskey
That bag of yours
Requesting the pouring of more whiskey
And poor me up a finger or two
Expressing a desire for an additional amount of whiskey
Might as well make it a three
Suggesting a generous pour of three fingers of whiskey
Hell on the count of four just
Expressing a willingness to receive more on the count of four
Give me that bag
Reiterating the request for the bag, possibly containing whiskey
