Can't Help Myself
Dean Brody feat. The Reklaws Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I'm gon' work
And if there's dirt
This ol' truck gon' swerve
If there's pretty girls sittin' on tailgates
Just say the word
And I'm on my way
Don't tell me 'bout a party on a backroad
That's right
I like cold beer yes I do
I like cold beer how 'bout you
I turn up when I let loose
I can't help myself
Get loud on Friday night
Drop it down in four wheel drive
Been like this my whole life
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
Can't blame nobody else
I can't help myself
Can't just have just one
Probably gon' have me another
Soon as I feel that buzz
I'll have another
And another
I'm dangerous I'm rowdy
If it's redneck I'm 'bout it
I'm off the wagon
I'm brown baggin'
I'm Caddilac'in don't doubt it
Find me at a party on a backroad
'Cause you know I'll party on a backroad all night
Hell right
I like cold beer yes I do
I like cold beer how bout you
I turn up when I let loose
I can't help myself
Get loud on Friday night
Drop it down in four wheel drive
Been like this my whole life
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
Can't blame nobody else
I can't help myself
One, two, three, four, I declare a beer war
Five, six, seven, eight, just killed another case
I like cold beer yes I do
I like cold beer how 'bout you
I turn up when I let loose
I can't help myself
Get loud on Friday night
Drop it down in four wheel drive
Been like this my whole life
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
Can't blame nobody else
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
Can't blame nobody else
I can't help myself
The lyrics of Dean Brody feat. The Reklaws's song “Can't Help Myself” are all about enjoying the simple pleasures in life, from working, to driving an old truck, to partying on a backroad. The singer of the song is someone who can't resist the call of a good time, whether that means having a cold beer or getting rowdy with his friends. The lyrics also suggest that he is aware of his tendencies and accepts that he can't help himself. The chorus reinforces this meaning, as the singer repeats, "I can't help myself" several times.
The verses of the song describe various situations in which the singer is likely to indulge in his love of living for the moment. In the first verse, he says that he'll work hard if there's work to be done, and that his old truck will handle whatever dirt roads are thrown his way. He's also drawn to the sight of pretty girls sitting on tailgates, suggesting that he's a bit of a ladies' man. In the second verse, he admits that he can't just have one beer and that he's likely to keep drinking until he feels a buzz. He's also not shy about embracing a redneck lifestyle, complete with brown-bagging and partying on backroads.
Overall, the song is a celebration of living life to the fullest, even if that means indulging in a few vices along the way. The singer seems to be someone who enjoys taking risks and exploring the more adventurous side of life. The upbeat, catchy melody of the song reinforces this message and makes it clear that this is a tune meant for dancing and having fun.
