Out of Nowhere
Dalton & Montgomery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
come in the form of a water tower
them cops hide right behind the sign
better drive 25 miles and hour
aint on the map, if you blink then you miss it
yeah we know what it is and what it isn't
that you never heard of
we aint burning blacktop
nah we kickin' dirt up
shotgun shooting stop signs
red light revin' red lights
know who made the moon
and know who makes the moonshine
come out of them turn rows where that corn grows
we turn it into that whiskey
if you wonder why we live the way we livin'
cause we come out of no where
we come out of nowhere
our Sunday suits, our working boots
and a pair of jeans that come from wrangler
bottle of wine, two dixie cups
in the back of your truck is the way to make em'
fall for your heart wrap her up in your carhartt jacket
that's the way that it happens
cause we come out no where
that you never heard of
we aint burning blacktop
nah we kickin' dirt up
shotgun shooting stop signs
red light revin' red lights
know who made the moon
and know who makes the moonshine
come out of them turn rows where that corn grows
we turn it into that whiskey
if you wonder why we live the way we livin'
cause we come out of no where
come out of them turn rows where that corn grows
we turn it into that whiskey
if you wonder why we live the way we livin'
cause we come out no where
that you never heard of
we aint burning blacktop
nah we kickin' dirt up
shotgun shooting stop signs
red light revin' red lights
know who made the moon
and know who makes the moonshine
come out of them turn rows where that corn grows
we turn it into that whiskey
if you wonder why we live the way we livin'
cause we come out of no where
we come out of nowhere
we come out of nowhere
yes we do
The lyrics of Dalton & Montgomery's song "Out of Nowhere" paint a picture of a small, tight-knit community that is often overlooked or underestimated. The first verse begins by referencing the skyscrapers that were built in their town, but instead of towering buildings, they come in the form of a water tower. This suggests that their town may not be flashy or well-known, but it still holds significance to them. The mention of cops hiding behind signs and the need to drive carefully at 25 miles per hour implies that this town is off the beaten path and may not be easily found on a map.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that this community comes "out of nowhere" and that they are unfamiliar to those who haven't heard of them before. The mention of not burning blacktop but rather kicking up dirt reflects a more rural lifestyle, suggesting that they are a close-knit community that values simplicity and the land they live on. The line "shotgun shooting stop signs, red light revin' red lights" can be interpreted as rebellious actions, perhaps representing a spirit of independence and a disregard for certain rules and regulations. The mention of knowing who made the moon and who makes the moonshine highlights their connection to their surroundings and their resourcefulness in utilizing what their environment provides, turning corn into whiskey.
The second verse focuses on their way of life and how they connect with others. Their Sunday suits, working boots, and Wrangler jeans represent their connection to their roots and the importance of hard work. The imagery of sharing a bottle of wine in the back of a truck suggests a simple, intimate way of bonding and building relationships. The mentioning of "fall for your heart wrap her up in your carhartt jacket" further emphasizes the value they place on love and connections.
The chorus is repeated twice more, enhancing the concept of this community coming from "nowhere" and living life on their terms. The mention of turning corn into whiskey again highlights their resourcefulness and ability to create something valuable from the resources available to them. The repetition of the line "come out of nowhere" reinforces the pride they have in their roots, their resilience, and the unique way they live their lives.
Overall, the lyrics of "Out of Nowhere" celebrate an underappreciated community and their way of life. It speaks to their authenticity, resourcefulness, and the connections they build with each other. They take pride in being from a place that may not be well-known or acknowledged, but they find beauty and fulfillment within their own surroundings.
