Lubbock Woman
Diamond in the Wilderness: A Raw and Raunchy Tale of a Lubbock Woman
Lyrics
Well
Introduction, setting the scene
She's sittin'' in the front room
Describing the woman's location
Just watchin the tv
She is engrossed in watching television
Paintin' her nails red
Engaged in painting her nails red
In a black negligee
Wearing a black negligee
She just teased up her new wig
Just styled a new wig
Painted her eyelids blue
Applied blue eyeshadow
Yeah
Expression of approval or agreement
She's out to win
She's determined to succeed
But she's destined to lose
Despite her efforts, she's fated to fail
Too much rouge
Excessive use of makeup (rouge)
Too much booze
Excessive consumption of alcohol
Too many movie magazines
Too many glossy magazines about movies
Too many high-tones
Too many sophisticated and wealthy people mocking her
Makin' fun of her
Mocking her lifestyle
And the way she lives
Referring to people criticizing her way of life
Too many low-lifes
Undesirable individuals making empty promises to her
Makin' her promises
People who will never fulfill their promises
They'll never give
Emphasizing the broken promises
But she's a diamond in the wilderness
Despite challenges, she is a precious and resilient person
Ah
An affectionate term for the woman
Sweetheart of the West
Acknowledging her as a special person in the West
Yeah
Highlighting that her looks are not the best
She ain't so good lookin'
Emphasizing her exceptional lovemaking skills
But she can make love with the best
Explaining her age and loneliness
'Cause
Connecting her age and experiences with her character
She's forty
Describing her as raw and unfiltered
An lonely
Reiterating her loneliness
An raw
Emphasizing her unrefined and unconventional nature
An raunchy
Highlighting her bold and audacious qualities
An has a good heart
Recognizing her inherent goodness
Yeah
Reaffirming her positive qualities
An has a good heart
Final declaration of her identity as a Lubbock Woman
She's a Lubbock Woman
Encouragement to appreciate and love her
You got to love that woman
A concluding statement, restating her identity
