Sin Wagon
Dancing on the Edge: Embracing Liberation in 'Sin Wagon'
Lyrics
He pushed me 'round
Feeling pushed around by someone
Now I'm drawin' the line
Setting boundaries and asserting independence
He lived his life
Referring to the person's past life
Now I'm gonna go live mine
Deciding to live one's own life now
I'm sick of wastin' my time
Frustration with wasting time
Well now I've been good for way too long
Expressing a desire to break free from being good
Found my red dress and I'm gonna throw it on
Finding a symbol of empowerment (red dress)
'Bout to get too far gone
Ready to let loose and take risks
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Combining religious reference with a call to action
Need a little bit more of my twelve ounce nutrition
Expressing the need for something more fulfilling
One more helpin' of what I've been havin'
Desiring more of what has been satisfying
I'm takin' my turn on the sin wagon
Choosing to indulge in a rebellious or sinful lifestyle
On a mission to make something happen
Being proactive to make things happen
Feel like Delilah lookin' for Samson
Comparing oneself to Delilah seeking fulfillment
Do a little mattress dancin'
Implies engaging in sexual activity
That's right I said mattress dancin'
Reiterating the idea of engaging in sexual activity
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Repeating the religious reference with a sense of urgency
Need a little bit more
Expressing a need for more in life
Of what I've been missin'
Desiring what has been lacking
I don't know where I'll be crashin'
Uncertain about the consequences and where life will lead
But I'm arrivin' on a sin wagon
Embracing a rebellious lifestyle without concern for the future
When it's my turn to march up to old glory
Anticipating a noteworthy and possibly challenging future
I'm gonna have one hell of a story
Expecting to have a compelling story to tell
That's if he forgives me
Acknowledging the need for forgiveness
Oh, lord please forgive me
Seeking forgiveness from a higher power
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Repeating the religious reference with a plea for help
Need a little bit more of that sweet salvation
Desiring more of a redemptive and comforting experience
They may take me
Acknowledging the possibility of facing consequences
With my feet draggin'
Accepting the consequences but expressing resilience
But I'll fly away on a sin wagon
Embracing the idea of transcending challenges
I'll fly away on a sin wagon
Reiterating the idea of overcoming challenges
