Dirt Track Mama
Chasing Blues Away: Dirt Track Adventures with a Heart-Pounding Beat
Lyrics
Way down West Virginia way
Refers to a location in West Virginia.
Me and baby gonna fade away
The singer and their partner plan to disappear or have a carefree time.
Where gonna head down
Planning to go somewhere.
With a big blood hound
Accompanied by a large dog for hunting or companionship.
Were gonna chase those mighty blues away
Expressing determination to overcome difficulties or sadness.
On a dirt track
Refers to a rough or unpaved racing track.
Were gonna rev those engines hot and bright
Planning to drive fast and intensely.
I'm gonna chase you under the pale moolight
Expressing a desire to pursue someone romantically.
With your helmet on and your big girl pants
Describing the partner with protective gear, ready for adventure.
If you don't like mud you don't have a chance
Emphasizing the need to embrace messy situations for the relationship to work.
Cause baby
An affectionate term for the partner.
Cause baby won't you turn around and won't you dance around the mud with me
Inviting the partner to join in the joy of playing in the mud.
Show me those pearly whites the only thing in sight that don't have mud on me
Highlighting the partner's clean, white teeth in contrast to the mud-covered surroundings.
Don't you know
Expressing a carefree attitude.
I'm running around town with that dirt track mama
Repetition for emphasis on the singer's association with the "dirt track mama."
Running around town with that dirt track mama
-Running around town with that dirt track mama
-Running around town with that dirt track mama
-Your gonna feed me, feed me, feed me speed
Desire for speed and excitement in the relationship.
Your gonna drag my heart in the mud till' it bleeds
Metaphorical expression of intense emotions, possibly hardships.
Your gonna hold me, squeeze me, grab me tight
Desiring close and affectionate interaction with the partner.
Dirt track mama gonna treat me right
Expectation that the dirt track mama will treat the singer well.
Baby won't you turn around and won't you dance around the mud with me
Reiteration of the invitation to dance in the mud.
Show me those pearly whites the only thing in sight that don't have mud on me
Highlighting the partner's clean teeth as a positive aspect.
Don't you know
Reiteration of the carefree and joyful attitude.
I'm running around town with that dirt track mama
Repetition for emphasis on the singer's association with the "dirt track mama."
Running around town with that dirt track mama
-Running around town with that dirt track mama
-Running around town with that dirt track mama
