[Part I]
[Intro: Future]
Drop your location, she think she me or sum’ (Hendrix)
Put on my chains, now she think she me or sum’
She keep a Glock in her bag, she think …
[Verse 1]
You said, “Speak from your mind
The words that it finds
Come out of your soul, a part of the whole”
You said, “What does it change?
Both of us know
After tonight, there …
[TONY]
Maria…
The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
Maria, Maria…
Maria!
I’ve just met a girl named Maria
And …
[Verse 1]
What happens in dreams where we fly?
Never been as high as tonight
Staring through a window in time
For someone to show me what I’m like
He said, “Hello”, it’s like a …
[Verse 1]
Oh-oh-oh, every little smile hides a little lie
Could cut the silence with a knife
Subatomic bliss is nothing left to miss
It’s just empty Russian roulette
[Pre-Chorus]
Try to brush it off my …
It’s just an old, beat up truck
Some say that I should trade up
Now that I got some jangle in my pocket 31
But what they don’t understand
Is it’s the miles that make a man
I wouldn’t trade that thing for a rocket 32
What they don’t know is my dad and me
We drove her out to Tennessee
She’s still here, now, he’s gone
So I hold on 33
It’s just an old, beat up box
It’s rusty strings across the top
It probably don’t look like much to you 34
But these dents and scratches in the wood
Yeah, that’s what makes it sound so good
To me, it’s better than brand new 35
You see, this here flat top guitar
It’s had my back in a million bars
Singing every country song
So I hold on 36
To the things I believe in
My faith, your love, our freedom
To the things I can count on
To keep me going strong
Yeah, I hold on 37
Like the stripes to a flag
Like a boy to his dad
I can’t change who I am
Right or wrong
So I hold on 38
Baby, looking at you right now
There ain’t never been no doubt
Without you, I’d be nothing
So if you ever worry about me walking out
Yeah, let me tell you something
I hold on
I hold on 39
Can you hear me, baby
I hold on
Yeah!
I hold on
To the things I believe in
My faith, your love, our freedom
To the things I can count on
To keep me going strong
Yeah, I hold on
I hold on, and on, and on, and on, and on
I hold on, and on, and on, and on, and on 40
Dierks is singing about his truck, which some say is ancient and those people advise him to buy another one, now that his music is selling and he has some money.
Dierks is clearly attached to his car, which he says that he has no plans of getting rid off, not even for a super fast and expensive rocket. He says that his driving far in that truck is what has made him the man he is. This shows a deep attachment and it tends to happen to people who have had their cars for a very long time, such that the car acquires sentimental value.
Dierks talks of one of the reasons why he wouldn’t get rid of the car. It is a truck in which he shared some good times with his father when driving all they way to Tennessee and now with the death of his father, that car comforts him, reflecting the sentimental value.
Dierk’s car can be described as derelict by many and when one looks at it physically it does not have any appeal left to defend itself.
To Dierk however, that car is still the same car that he bought sometime back and does not see its age not even with the dents and scratches. For him, the dents and scratches just add to the history of the car and the memories of how the car got them.
Dierk also sings about his guitar which has been his companion as his made his way to the top, showing that it is something that he will not retire easily.
Dierk dedicates the song to his material possessions which have been with him through his journey and been there for him to use when needed and will continue to give him service.
Dierk uses the flag for imagery, the American flag has its red and white stripes, which have a lot of meaning to the people of the nation and likewise the relationship of a boy to his father, which only they two can fully comprehend. He says that whether it pleases others or not he will remain true to himself.
Dierk takes a diversion from discussing his material possessions to talk to his girl. He assures her that he is not going anywhere and he values her contribution to his life, which would not be the same without her. It shows that his commitment goes beyond inanimate things to include people too. He however, could be referring to his truck based on the words of the chorus and the fact that people are known to give names to cars or refer to them with terms of endearment.
He reaffirms his commitment to his things that he will not give up on them and together they will remain strong.
