Call My Bluff
Surviving Small-Town Struggles: Call My Bluff Unveiled
Lyrics
Those big ole dreams
Expressing aspiration or ambitions that are significant.
In this little old town
Contrasting the big dreams with the limitations of a small town.
Three kids later
Having three children as a part of life's responsibilities.
Came crashing on down
Experiencing a major disappointment or setback.
With the lot rent due
Facing financial challenges with the impending lot rent payment.
And the gas bill too
Highlighting additional financial stress with a due gas bill.
I need a miracle to survive this week
Expressing the need for a miraculous solution to survive the week.
Twenty-two years
Reflecting on 22 years spent in a consistent and unchanging routine.
on the same old grind
Describing the monotony of a four-day workweek.
Only four days a week
Emphasizing long working hours from 9 AM to 9 PM.
but it's nine to nine
Encouraging the mindset of doing whatever it takes to get by.
You gotta do what
Acknowledging the necessity of making ends meet.
you gotta do to get by
Reiterating the need for a miracle to overcome current challenges.
And I'd need a miracle to survive this week
Reinforcing the desperation for a miraculous intervention.
Meaning well and such ain't ever the stuff
Highlighting that good intentions alone are insufficient.
That makes one dear to us
Emphasizing that being dear to someone requires more than good intentions.
You know how the road to hell gets paved
Referencing the proverbial notion that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
And you know how to call my bluff
Challenging someone to see through deception or false pretenses.
Call my bluff
Repeating the challenge to reveal deception, emphasizing sincerity.
I need to take a little time for myself this year
Expressing the need for personal time and self-care in the coming year.
Go fishin', plant a garden, maybe even brew my own beer
List of activities planned for personal time, such as fishing and brewing beer.
Ya I need a little bit of time for myself this year
Reiterating the need for personal time and self-reflection.
And I need this weekend to take me away from here
Expressing a desire for a break from the current situation.
Take me away
Reinforcing the need to be taken away from the current circumstances.
Lord knows I been
Acknowledging sincere efforts and hard work.
tryin' real hard
Expressing the struggle and effort put into improving one's situation.
Building my credit
Building credit as a step towards financial stability.
Even got me a car
Achieving a milestone with the acquisition of a car.
I don't blow my paycheck
Responsible spending habits, avoiding excessive expenses at the bar.
On nights in the bar
Despite responsible choices, recognizing the need for a miracle to survive the week.
But I'll need a miracle to survive this week
Reiterating the desperation for a miraculous intervention in the current situation.
Meaning well and such ain't ever the stuff
Recalling that good intentions alone are insufficient.
That makes one dear to us
Reiterating that being dear to someone requires more than good intentions.
You know how the road to hell gets paved
Repeating the reference to the proverbial notion of good intentions leading to unfavorable outcomes.
And you know how to call my bluff
Restating the challenge to see through deception and false pretenses.
Call my bluff
Reaffirming the challenge to reveal deception, emphasizing sincerity.
