Love Junk
Diesel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got what you need
I got a heart tin plated
And a soul of steel
Or take me as I am and just
Drive me away
I might look like a wreck
But my ride is still OK
I'm your junkyard man
Pile me with your love junk
I'm a junkyard man
First verse
I was left by the wayside
By my previous owner
She took me for a day
See I was just a loaner
She found me at the body shop
Where her other had broken down
It was love at first sight
So she drove me out of town
Chorus
I was rustin' away
Till ya found me here
My motor was chokin'
And I just couldn't steer
But just when I thought
I'd never get a buyer
well you juiced me right up
And you put air in my tires
Chorus
You might get a little dirty
But baby never you mind
I ain't some squeaky clean wheeler
I know I'm covered in grime
But I just keep rollin'
With a reputation that's soiled
I ain't got no log books
And no one's ever checked my oil

Line by Line Meaning
If you're looking for parts
If you are searching for someone who has been broken and needs to be fixed
I got what you need
I have the qualities that you are looking for
I got a heart tin plated
I have a strong, resilient heart that is protected by metal
And a soul of steel
I have a tough and durable spirit
Or take me as I am and just
You can accept me for who I am without trying to change me
Drive me away
Take me with you
I might look like a wreck
I may appear to be in bad shape
But my ride is still OK
But I am still capable of moving forward
Pile me with your love junk
Fill me with all the love and affection that you have to offer
I'm your junkyard man
I am the one who can turn your broken heart into something beautiful again
I was left by the wayside
I was abandoned and forgotten
By my previous owner
By the person who used to care for me
She took me for a day
She only used me for a short time
See I was just a loaner
I was just borrowed temporarily
She found me at the body shop
She discovered me when I was being repaired
Where her other had broken down
Where her previous partner had failed her
It was love at first sight
She fell in love with me immediately
So she drove me out of town
So she took me away with her
I was rustin' away
I was deteriorating and decaying
Till ya found me here
Until you came into my life
My motor was chokin'
I was struggling to function properly
And I just couldn't steer
I had lost my sense of direction
But just when I thought
Just when I had given up hope
I'd never get a buyer
That I would never find someone who truly wanted me
well you juiced me right up
You gave me the energy and motivation to keep moving forward
And you put air in my tires
You gave me the support and stability that I needed
You might get a little dirty
You might have to get a little messy
But baby never you mind
But don't worry about it
I ain't some squeaky clean wheeler
I am not a perfect or pristine type of person
I know I'm covered in grime
I know that I am flawed
But I just keep rollin'
But I keep moving forward regardless
With a reputation that's soiled
With a flawed reputation
I ain't got no log books
I do not keep track of my past mistakes or failures
And no one's ever checked my oil
And no one has ever tried to fix me before.
