Mindy McCready
Cledus T. Judd Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh...I met Shania Twain and I met ol Tim McGraw
Billy Ray Cyrus and little David Ball
A little bit of luck and my life will be complete
There's a little bitty blonde that I'd really want to meet

I sure like Mindy McCready
Start pumpin iron and a-eatin my Wheaties
Got to get in shape

If I want to get a date
But first I gotta lose a little bit of weight

My little bitty sweetie in her little nighty gown
A litty bitty kiss and I'd probably come unwound
I love to watch her dance and I like to watch her sing
Want a little better look at her belly button ring

I sure like Mindy McCready
Take a little ride down to Panama City
Just the two of us on her little bitty bus
With a whole lot of love and whole lot of lust

I work a little job for a crummy little check
Heck I'd trade it all for a hug around the neck
Paid a lot of hope for my little bitty scheme
Cause I could never fit in her litte bitty jeans

I'm a good old boy she's a pretty little girl
Wish I had a chance to rock her little bitty world
I'm a little bit insane cause I love her somethin fierce
Gonna go and get my big old belly button pierced

I'd sure like to meet Mindy McCready
Give me half a chance and buddy yes indeed-why
Guys do it all the time I'd better get in line
Better go and buy her some of Deana Carter's wine

I sure love Mindy McCready
Start pumpin iron and a-eatin my Wheaties
Got to get in shape

If I want to get a date
Be

Overall Meaning

fore we get into the lyrics of the song, it is worth understanding who Mindy McCready was. Mindy McCready was an American country singer who gained fame in the 1990s. She was known for hits such as "Guys Do It All the Time" and "Ten Thousand Angels." However, Mindy's personal life was plagued with controversies, including substance abuse, legal problems, and suicide. The song by Cledus T. Judd is a humorous take on his infatuation with Mindy McCready, and he sings about his desire to meet her.

The first stanza of the song is about Cledus's encounters with other well-known country singers such as Shania Twain, Tim McGraw, Billy Ray Cyrus, and David Ball. He talks about his desire to meet Mindy McCready, who he refers to as a "little bitty blonde." Despite his desire to meet her, he realizes that he needs to get in shape before he can even think about getting a date with her.

In the second stanza, Cledus talks about his attraction to Mindy's body, particularly her belly button ring. He then goes on to sing about his desire to go on a trip with her to Panama City, where they can be alone on her "little bitty bus" and indulge in love and lust. He acknowledges his low-paying job and the fact that he has paid a lot of hope for his plan to meet Mindy. He then reveals his desperation to fit into her "little bitty jeans" to impress her.

The song is a light-hearted take on Cledus's infatuation with Mindy. The use of humor and exaggeration in the lyrics makes it clear that the song is not to be taken seriously. It is worth noting that Mindy McCready passed away in 2013 due to suicide. Overall, the song can be seen as a tribute to Mindy's legacy as a country singer.
