Cruisin with my baby down the road
well I'm cruisin' with my baby
Cruisin' with my baby down the road
Yeah
Gotta lotta of money gotta lotta of love
Gotta lotta of honey and that's all right
Down the milky way
Cruisin' with my baby down the road (x4)
Yeah
Oooh baby, why did you treat me soooo mean
Yeah, you took my money and you took my car
And along with that you took my guitar
But you know what I'm gonna hunt you down
And take back all what's mine
So when you look in your rear-view mirror
It's me you'll see drivin' right behind you
Had a lotta money, had a lotta love
Had a lot to give you but that's all right
You took it all without a doubt
But baby watch out when I come around
Cruisin' with my baby down the road
Cruisin' with my baby down the road
Yeah.
The Bluesbones' song "Cruisin'" is a classic blues rock song about a man who is driving around with his baby, enjoying the moment even though he has experienced some setbacks in his life. The song reflects on the simple pleasure of cruising with a loved one, but also alludes to the challenges of failed relationships and betrayal.
The first verse of the song introduces the idea of cruising down the road with his baby. This is an iconic image that has been perpetuated through American culture over the years as the embodiment of freedom and happiness. He sings about having a lot of money, love, and honey, indicating that he has everything he needs to be happy in life. The chorus repeats the phrase, "Cruisin' with my baby down the road," emphasizing the simplicity of the moment and the joy it brings.
The second verse takes a darker turn, with the singer accusing his baby of taking his money, car, and guitar. He expresses anger and frustration at the betrayal, but also determination to get back what is rightfully his. The final chorus retains the same lyrics as the first, but this time it takes on a more ominous tone as the singer follows his baby in his car, ready to reclaim what was taken from him.
Overall, the song is a great example of blues rock, with its upbeat guitar riff and catchy chorus, it's a song that invites listeners to sing along and dance to. It also showcases the versatility of the genre, as it weaves together themes of love, hurt, and revenge.
