Junebug in July
Embrace the Rebel Soul: A Junebug's Journey to Flight
Lyrics
Well there may be some truth to the rumor
There might be some truth in the gossip or speculation.
But if you need more proof
If additional evidence or confirmation is needed,
Why I am a late bloomer
Explaining why the speaker's achievements or progress happened later in life.
And you need to know how I'm keepin' up with the Jonses
Understanding how the speaker matches up to societal standards or expectations.
Come and find me under the shade tree and smellin' the roses
Invitation to locate the speaker enjoying life's simple pleasures.
Well I'm a dark horse chompin' at the bit
The speaker feels like an outsider, eager to prove themselves.
I'm the underdog never been taught to sit
The speaker hasn't been trained to conform to norms.
I spent a long time learnin' how not to crawl
It took a while for the speaker to learn independence.
And honey, I'm ready to fly
The speaker is prepared to embrace freedom and opportunity.
Believe the buzz about me, baby
Encouraging belief in the positive reputation surrounding the speaker.
I'm a Junebug in July
Metaphorically likening themselves to something unexpected yet delightful.
Oh, so many road signs we ignored
Instances where conventional advice or warnings were disregarded.
So many sermons we deplored
Disapproval towards typical guidance or moral teachings.
We got obnoxious, lazy, unruly and crazy
Choosing rebellious behavior to avoid monotony or routine.
Just to keep from gettin' bored
Suggesting the speaker's defiance was a form of self-entertainment.
You know the Rebel Soul is its own reward
Asserting that their independent spirit is rewarding in itself.
The pistol fires and the race is begun
Using a metaphor of a starting gun for life's race or competition.
We got a hammock pilot versus formula one
Comparing a relaxed approach to life against a high-speed, competitive one.
I'll stand my ground and I'll see you when
Stating determination to stand firm and await someone's return or reappearance.
You're comin' back around the track again…
Being present and waiting for someone to complete a cycle or return.
