Branson
Discovering Life's Highs and Lows in Branson, Missouri
Lyrics
I've thought I was in hell
Feeling like I've been through difficult times or challenging experiences
Many times, yessiree
Expressing that the feeling of being in a tough situation has occurred multiple times
I know I was in heaven just once
Recalling a single moment of extreme happiness or bliss
Branson, Missouri
Referring to a specific location, Branson, Missouri
Anyone who refers
Anyone who talks about playing music all day as a job
To playing tunes all day
Describing the act of playing musical tunes throughout the day
As some kind of work
Suggesting that playing music is not truly understood as hard work by some
Has never baled hay
Contrasting playing tunes with the physical labor of baling hay
Mmm, I'm going down
Expressing a decision or intention to go somewhere
Down to Branson town
Heading towards the town of Branson
I'm gonna be a big sellout
Planning to compromise artistic integrity for commercial success
Playing a sold-out crowd
Envisioning a performance in front of a fully occupied audience
I know old dogs ain't as quick
Acknowledging that experience comes with age, but it may slow down
And old girls ain't as fun
Suggesting that older relationships may lack the excitement of youth
Old honey ain't quite as sweet
Comparing the sweetness of past experiences to honey, implying it may diminish with age
But old money spends as good as young
Stating that wealth from the past is as valuable as new wealth
Mmm, I'm going down
Reiterating the decision or intention to go to Branson
Down to Branson town
Reaffirming the journey to Branson with a focus on the town
I'm gonna be a sellout
Reiterating the willingness to compromise artistic values for success
Playing a sold-out crowd
Imagining a performance in front of a completely filled venue
