Footloose

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm punching my card
Eight hours for what
Oh, tell me what I got
I get this feeling
That times just holding me down
I'll hit the ceiling
Or else I'll tear up this town
Tonight I gotta cut loose, footloose
Kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
You're playing so cool
Obeying every rule
Dig way down in your heart
You're burning yearning for some
Somebody to tell you
That life ain't passing you by
I'm trying to tell you
It will if you don't even try
You can fly if you'd only
Cut loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Oh-wee Marie, shake it, shake it for me
Woah, Milo, come on, come on let's go
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
(Cut footloose)
Woah-oh-oh-oh
(Cut footloose)
Woah-oh-oh-oh
(Cut footloose)
Woah-oh-oh-oh
(Cut footloose)
Woah-oh-oh-oh
We got to turn you around
And put your feet on the ground
Now take a hold of your soul
I'm turning it loose
Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
(Footloose) footloose (footloose)
Kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
(Everybody) everybody cut footloose
The song "Footloose" by Blake Shelton is a fun, upbeat song that encourages people to let loose and have some fun. The first verse talks about the feeling of being stuck in a mundane routine, where all you do is work hard and don't get much in return. This feeling is heightened by the thought that time is just passing by without any excitement or adventure. The singer feels like he is going to either explode from frustration or do something completely crazy to break free from it all.
The chorus of the song invites everyone to join in and cut loose, or let go of their inhibitions and have a good time. The reference to "Sunday shoes" indicates that this is a time for celebration and letting go of the stress and pressure of the daily grind. The second verse talks about the importance of trying new things and not just following the rules set by society. The song encourages listeners to take risks and seize the day because life can pass you by if you don't try new things.
Overall, "Footloose" is a song that celebrates life and encourages people to live to the fullest. It encourages people to let go of their worries and embrace their freedom, especially when it comes to dancing and having fun.

I been working so hard
I've been putting a lot of effort into my work
I'm punching my card
I'm recording my work hours on my timecard
Eight hours for what
I'm working eight hours a day, but why?
Oh, tell me what I got
I don't feel like my hard work is leading to anything meaningful
I get this feeling
I have a strong sense
That times just holding me down
That the passage of time is weighing me down
I'll hit the ceiling
I'll reach my limit of frustration
Or else I'll tear up this town
I'll become restless and possibly cause some chaos
Tonight I gotta cut loose, footloose
Tonight, I need to let go and have fun
Kick off the Sunday shoes
Take off your formal shoes and put on something comfortable
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Louise, I need your help to stand up and start dancing
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Jack, come back and join us before we have a mental breakdown
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
Forget your problems and enjoy the moment by dancing with everyone
You're playing so cool
You're acting calm and collected
Obeying every rule
You're following all the guidelines and restrictions imposed on you
Dig way down in your heart
Search deep inside your emotions
You're burning yearning for some
You're anxious and eager for something
Somebody to tell you
Someone who can give you guidance
That life ain't passing you by
You don't have to feel like you're missing out on life
I'm trying to tell you
I'm attempting to communicate this to you
It will if you don't even try
You'll definitely miss out if you never attempt to grab opportunities
You can fly if you'd only
You can succeed if you just take that first step
Oh-wee Marie, shake it, shake it for me
Marie, dance and have fun with me
Woah, Milo, come on, come on let's go
Milo, come dance and enjoy the moment with us
We got to turn you around
We have to change your attitude
And put your feet on the ground
And ground you in reality
Now take a hold of your soul
Take control of your emotions and actions
I'm turning it loose
I'm freeing myself from your restrictions
Everybod cut, everybod cut
Everyone, start dancing and having fun together
