Buck Naked
Unveiling Truth: Terry Allen's Buck Naked Chronicles Life's Vulnerability
Lyrics
Running naked down the state
Running without any clothing down the state
Highway
On the highway
Runnin' naked in the middle of the
Running without clothes in the middle of the day
Day
Being naked like a male cat
Runnin' naked like a tom cate
Behind something or someone
Behind
Running naked, and the cat doesn't seem to mind
Runnin' naked but the cat done
Seem to mind
-Give me your heart
Asking for emotional connection
I'll give you mine first
Willing to reciprocate by offering one's own heart
Give me your time
Request for time and attention
I'll give you my trust
Offering trust in return
Buck naked now
Naked and vulnerable now
Like when I was born
Similar to being born without clothes
When will we find out
Questioning the delay in understanding
Why does it take so long
Why does it take so long to realize
Buck naked now
Repetition of being naked now
Buck naked now
Emphasizing the vulnerability
Buck naked now
Continuation of emphasizing vulnerability
In the eyes of the lord
In the eyes of a higher power or morality
Running naked like the day when I
Running without clothes as on the day of birth
Was born
They're all naked in the land where
Everyone is naked in the place of origin
I come from
Referring to a distant location
It's a long way from the great high
Highlighting the distance from the high plains
Plains now
We're all naked if you turn us
Everyone is vulnerable if you look beneath the surface
Inside out
Buck naked now
Reiteration of being naked with no clothes
We ain't got no clothes
Confirming the lack of clothing
Bare assed for sure
Completely exposed
In the eyes of god
In the eyes of a divine being or morality
Naked in my heart
Nakedness extends to the emotional core
Naked in my soul
Also vulnerable at a deeper level
Well, how does it feel
Questioning the feeling of vulnerability
Does anybody know
Uncertainty if others understand
Buck naked now
Repetition of being naked now
Buck naked now
Buck naked now
-In the eyes of the lord
In the judgment of a higher power or morality
Well, we're naked inside
Vulnerability within oneself
You're naked too
Others are also exposed
Well there's nothing to fear
No need to fear vulnerability
And there's nothing we can do
No control over the situation
