Tight Fittin' Jeans
Conway Twitty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I knew she'd never been inside a bar before
And I felt just like a peasant, who just had met a queen
And she knew I saw right through her tight fittin' jeans
I asked her what's a woman, like you doin' here?
I see you're used to champagne, but I'll buy you a beer
She said you've got me figured out, but I'm not what I seem
She said I married money, I'm used to wearin' pearls
But I've always dreamed of bein' just a good ol' boy's girl
So tonight I left those crystal candle lights to live a dream
And partner there's a tiger in these tight fittin' jeans
We danced every dance, and Lord the beer that we went through
I'm satisfied I did my best to make her dream come true
As she played out her fantasy before my eyes it seemed
A cowgirl came alive inside those tight fittin' jeans
In my mind she's still a lady, that's all I'm gonna say
I knew that I'd been broken by the time we parted ways
And I know I held more women than most eyes have ever seen
That night I knew a lady wearin' tight fittin' jeans
Well, now she's back in her world, and I'm still stuck in mine
But I know she'll always remember the time
A cowboy once had, a millionaire's dream
And Lord I loved that lady wearin' tight fittin' jeans
The lyrics of Conway Twitty's song "Tight Fittin' Jeans" tells the story of a rich woman who leaves her fancy life to experience a rugged cowboy’s life. Conway gives a detailed description of how he noticed the woman's inexperience in a bar but is nevertheless smitten by her beauty. From her faded denim clothes, he senses that she's never been in a bar before. She tries to cover up her lack of experience by acting tough, but Conway can see through her façade.
As they dance the night away, the woman reveals that she’s married into money but always dreamed of a life filled with cowboy hats, dusty boots, and sitting on the back of a horse. The song leaves the listener with the impression that the cowboy and the lady only had one night of fun before returning to their separate lives. However, the lasting memory of the night is the millionaire's dream coming true, as she became a cowgirl, alive inside those tight fittin' jeans.
Overall "Tight Fittin' Jeans" speaks to the idea of living the life you want to live, no matter the circumstances. It is a song about taking chances, living in the moment and following your dreams. The woman in the story had always longed to be something she wasn’t but for that one night, she was able to live out her wildest fantasy.
