Buck McCoy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Favorite lady rock star. She was there and I was here this was my shot I was aware When I got up to the bar to make my move, I felt like I had nothin? to lose I walked up and tipped my hat, tripped and fell almost landed in her lap
Chorus: I wrecked my moment with Sheryl Crow, I ruined my shot at bein? With a big star, what should have been well I?ll never know
?Cause I wrecked my moment with Sheryl Crow
Verse: I?m at a music convention in the south of France, and so was Sheryl Well how about that this was my shot to redeem myself, I wasn?t gonna settle for Anything less She was heading my way and she looked so good, I was Feelin? kind of dizzy from that rich French food. When we finally came face to face
Somethin? hit me bad, and I threw up. Repeat Chorus/Bride:
I wrecked my moment with Sheryl Crow, I blew it all I screwed up
There she was walkin? down the street, she looked so sexy and she looked so sweet We checked into a little seedy motel, made love all night unbelievably well when I awoke the room was a blur, she turned to me, man it wasn?t even her. Repeat Chorus.
And that?s my story ?bout Sheryl Crow?ahh shucks!
The song "My Moment with Sheryl Crow" by Buck McCoy tells the story of a man who has three chances to be with his favorite lady rock star and fails miserably in each attempt. In the first verse, he sees her in a Hollywood bar and takes his shot to approach her, but he trips and almost falls into her lap. He ruins his chance to be with her and laments it in the chorus. In the second verse, he sees her at a music convention in the south of France and this time, he plans to redeem himself. However, he feels sick and throws up when she comes face to face with him, once again ruining his moment with her. In the final verse, he sees her on a late Saturday night and drinks heavily before checking into a motel with who he thinks is Sheryl Crow. When he wakes up, he realizes that it wasn't even her.
Overall, the song seems to be a humorous take on missed opportunities, depicting the singer's inability to seize the moment due to his clumsiness, sickness, and drunkenness. The chorus is the recurring lamentation of the chances lost, "I wrecked my moment with Sheryl Crow, I ruined my shot at bein' with a big star, what should have been well I'll never know, 'cause I wrecked my moment with Sheryl Crow."
