Slam Van
Slam Van Adventures: A Musical Journey Beyond Earth
Lyrics
My daddy gave me the keys
Receiving the van as a gift from the speaker's father.
One day at home
The moment the van keys were given at home.
He said with this van forever
A commitment to travel indefinitely with the van.
You shall roam
Expressing a sense of freedom associated with the van.
And I knew I could get out of this place
Desire to escape the current place using the van.
Because the van was my
Highlighting the importance of the van in the speaker's life.
Ticket to space
Viewing the van as a means to explore outer space.
Get in the slam van ride it again
Encouraging others to join in the experience of the "slam van."
Get in the slam van tell all your friends
Promoting the idea of sharing the van experience with friends.
And when we got to the moon
Arriving on the moon with the van.
We didn't know what to to do
Feeling uncertain about what to do in the new environment.
So we found some girls and found some booze
Choosing to socialize with girls and alcohol.
But their skin was green and their eyes were blue
Encountering unusual individuals with green skin and blue eyes.
And that when I knew
Realizing the unfamiliarity of the situation.
I didn't know what to do
Expressing confusion and indecision.
To slam in the van you better have a plan
Emphasizing the need for a plan when engaging in van activities.
Because your not the first man to cram in the van
A reminder that many have shared similar experiences in the van.
There are fish in the sea but clams in the van
Metaphorically comparing choices to fish in the sea and clams in the van.
Put your pole in your hand and grab a beer can
Suggesting a lighthearted, carefree attitude with fishing and drinking.
Its no sham its like peter pan
Asserting the authenticity of the experience, likening it to Peter Pan's world.
Throw your girl in the van and come to never ever land
Inviting a partner to join in the adventure to a fantastical "never-never land."
You can jam in the van
Encouraging energetic participation or enjoyment inside the van.
You can cram in the van
Emphasizing the possibility of fitting many activities or people in the van.
You can even take a man in the van
Suggesting inclusivity by stating even a man can be part of the van experience.
Everything you've ever done is alway less then
Reflecting on life experiences, implying they are always somewhat inadequate.
I've never had a six but two fives make a ten
Humorous wordplay on the idea that two fives add up to a ten.
When I say red blooded I mean American
Expressing a strong, patriotic identity as an American.
But I want the whole world to come in my van
Desiring global involvement in the speaker's van adventures.
