Green, Green Sky
Trouble Brewing Under the Green, Green Sky
Lyrics
Well Lollie cussed up his mama when she said you can't move to France
Defiance against conventional advice; Lollie expresses independence by moving to France despite objections.
He went ahead and got mean on a vending machine but he still got them M&Ms
Lollie confronts a vending machine but still manages to get M &Ms resilience in the face of challenges.
So he traipsed it on down to New Orleans and boxed a big boy in the jaw
Lollie heads to New Orleans, engages in a physical altercation, and boasts about it at a bar.
High-stepped out and out-ran the crowd and got to bragging down at the bar
Lollie escapes a situation, showcasing his agility and confidence, then brags about it at a bar.

Now he's a double-clutching weasel a-grinding up all his gears on the Lost Highway

With his wife at home a-pounding out the biscuits for the babies praying Lord they make it one more day

But he moonlights wagging one finger, gripping his pistol with the other four

C'est la vie he made his run for mayor, that little town down the river

An exploration of hidden aspects in a town, suggesting potential corruption or hidden motives.
Got his cabinet cocking buck-shot, keep your bead on your enemy
The political leader prepares for conflict, using violent imagery with the mention of buck-shot.
But the tit-for-tat teaspoon's stirring round the night moon, naw that ain't no summer breeze
A warning that retaliation is brewing, dismissing any notion of a calm and pleasant resolution.
I heard he got himself a new girl, wrapping up the whole world around the high heel of her shoe
Introduction of a new romantic interest and a metaphorical reference to her influence.

An acknowledgment of the inevitable consequences and complexities in relationships.
If you can't get your way, hey babe what's the use, blow your fuse and you can take control
