Straight Up On The Rox
Dry County Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe a little bit out of my mind
Why do I gotta set my sights on you
I know your situation
I feel your desperation
And I hear that crap of an excuse
I hear you cryin cause your alone every day
But you wont' listen when you hear me say
I'd take you Plain Jane any day
I don't care anyway
Good days bad ways
Tell me that you're gonna stay
By my side for the rest of my life
Ill take those good times bad times
Even all the little lies
Brake me in till it's love in your eyes
Ill take everything you've got
Straight up on the rox
I know you've got yourself a few of them boyfriends
And they always be messin around
And you wind up screamin 'what's the use'
Then you got them just friend buddy's
Pick you up when you feel a bit down
And they always come try and make a move on you
One of these days you'll say 'where you've been all my life?'
And I'll be sayin 'ive been right here waitin to take you'
Plain Jane any day
I don't care anyway
Good days bad ways
Tell me that you're gonna stay
By my side for the rest of my life
Ill take those good times bad times
Even all the little lies
Brake me in till it's love in your eyes
Ill take everything you've got straight up
I can pick u up when your way down
I can put a smile on that frown
I'd change your everything
If you'll keep me hanging on
One of these days you'll say 'where you've been all my life?'
And I'll be sayin 'I've been right here waitin to take you'
Plain Jane any day
I don't care anyway
Good days bad ways
Tell me that you're gonna stay
By my side for the rest of my life
Ill take those good times bad times
Even all the little lies
Brake me in till it's love in your eyes
Ill take everything you've got
Straight up on the rox
Straight up on the rox
Straight up on the rox
The lyrics to "Straight Up On The Rox" by Dry County are about a man who is attracted to a woman who is in a difficult situation. He acknowledges that she may have boyfriends and other friends who are interested in her, but he believes that he would treat her better than any of them would. He offers to be a constant, supportive presence in her life and to take all of her baggage "straight up on the rox," meaning that he is prepared to deal with her issues head-on.
The song has a sense of longing and desperation, as if the man feels that this woman is the only one for him and he cannot bear the thought of being without her. However, he also has a sense of confidence that he can win her over, even though she may not be interested in him at first. He sees her potential and wants to help her reach it.
Overall, the song is about the power of love to overcome obstacles and to bring people together. It is a reminder that sometimes the people who seem least likely to be a good match can end up being perfect for each other.

I must be goin crazy
I am feeling insane
Maybe a little bit out of my mind
Perhaps I am slightly crazy
Why do I gotta set my sights on you
Why do I have to be attracted to you
I know your situation
I understand what you are going through
I feel your desperation
I can sense your feeling of hopelessness
And I hear that crap of an excuse
I am aware of your dishonest justification
I hear you cryin cause your alone every day
I hear you lamenting your loneliness every day
But you wont' listen when you hear me say
But you ignore me when I tell you
I'd take you Plain Jane any day
I would prefer a simple woman like you
I don't care anyway
It does not matter to me
Good days bad ways
Through good times and bad
Tell me that you're gonna stay
Promise me that you will remain
By my side for the rest of my life
Beside me for the remainder of my life
Ill take those good times bad times
I will handle the highs and lows
Even all the little lies
Even the small deceits
Brake me in till it's love in your eyes
Teach me to love you till I see love in your eyes
Ill take everything you've got
I am willing to accept all that you have
Straight up on the rox
Even if it is harsh and difficult
I know you've got yourself a few of them boyfriends
I am aware that you have several boyfriends
And they always be messin around
And they are always cheating on you
And you wind up screamin 'what's the use'
And you end up yelling in frustration
Then you got them just friend buddy's
Then you have male friends who you see only as friends
Pick you up when you feel a bit down
They support you when you are feeling low
And they always come try and make a move on you
And they always make an attempt to hit on you
One of these days you'll say 'where you've been all my life?'
Eventually, you will ask me where I have been all your life
And I'll be sayin 'ive been right here waitin to take you'
And I will reply, saying that I have been waiting to be with you
I can pick u up when your way down
I can cheer you up when you are feeling down
I can put a smile on that frown
I can make you smile when you are upset
I'd change your everything
I want to change everything about you to make you better
If you'll keep me hanging on
If you remain loyal to me
Straight up on the rox
Even if it is difficult and requires hard work
Straight up on the rox
I am still willing to accept it all
Straight up on the rox
Even if it is challenging and painful
