Cruisin'
Big Fat Snake Lyrics

The song "Cruisin'" by Big Fat Snake is an upbeat track that speaks about cruising down the road with a car and the pleasures that come with such an experience. The lyrics repeat the phrase "I got my car this morning, we'd be burning down the road" to emphasize the thrill of driving and how it makes one feel alive. The repetition also adds to the song's catchy nature and makes it easy to sing along to. The line "I'm riding on cigarettes and dope" might refer to the adrenaline rush and high that can come from cruising down a highway at high speeds.

The repeated mention of "cigarettes and dope" may also hint at the reckless behavior that can come along with driving, especially when one is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. However, the song focuses more on the fun and freedom that comes with driving. The song paints a picture of someone who just got their own car and is excited to hit the highway and explore the country.

Interestingly, "Cruisin'" was originally released in Danish by the band Big Fat Snake in 1990, under the title "Klods Hans," which means "Clumsy Hans" in English. The song was later translated and re-recorded in English in 1992, and it became a hit within the Danish-speaking world. The song was also covered by American country music singer Jimmy Buffett as a duet with Danish musician Max Hansen in 1993.
