Walter
Blue Dogs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I ever saw her
I picked her up in my Chevy Malibu
Going to the grocery
For her mother
For a loaf of bread and a Pepsi cola too
She was young
And so kind hearted
She called me sugar
And knew that when we parted
I knew just what I was going to do
Then I saw her
Standing at the altar
Of everlasting life
Standing there
With a boy named Walter
Expecting her to be his wife
Little did I know my heart was breaking
And I could not say a thing
When the preacher
Posed the final question
And heard those church bells ring
She got in
And she rolled down the window
And said man turn it up,
I love that country tune
She was wearing a rabbit skin halter
And I was overcome by the smell of her perfume

Well the first time,
I remember the first time I met her
That I ever saw her
It was the first time I laid my eyes on her
I picked her up in my Chevy Malibu
I gave her a ride in my car
Going to the grocery
We were on our way to the store
For her mother
She was running an errand for her mom
For a loaf of bread and a Pepsi cola too
She was buying a few things, including bread and Pepsi, for her mom
She was young
She was a young woman
And so kind hearted
She had a very kind personality
That she wrecked my world and left me with the blues
She had a big impact on my life, but also caused me a lot of pain
She called me sugar
She had a pet name for me
And knew that when we parted
She was aware of what I was going to do after we left each other
I knew just what I was going to do
I had a plan in mind
Then I saw her
Later on, I saw her again
Standing at the altar
She was at a wedding ceremony
Of everlasting life
It was a religious wedding ceremony
Standing there
She was in a specific spot
With a boy named Walter
She was with another man named Walter
Expecting her to be his wife
The man was planning to marry her
Little did I know my heart was breaking
I didn't realize how sad and hurt I was feeling
And I could not say a thing
I couldn't express my emotions
When the preacher
The officiant of the wedding
Posed the final question
The preacher asked the important question regarding the wedding ceremony
And heard those church bells ring
The wedding bells rang out
She got in
She entered my car
And she rolled down the window
She opened the car window
And said man turn it up,
She asked me to increase the volume
I love that country tune
She liked the country music that was playing
She was wearing a rabbit skin halter
She had a specific type of clothing on
And I was overcome by the smell of her perfume
Her fragrance was very strong and affected me
