Rocker Blues
F.R. David Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here i am in dishes and pans
Waiting for you to come home
Look at me now
A one woman man
A dog waitin for a bone

Not the way i planned
Only a one woman
I bet my heart
My heart on you
I bet my van
My blue suede shoes
I would do anything for you
Rocker blues

Gone is grass
Gone the guitar
No more high times and band
Every dawn at six twenty four
I wait for the bus at the stand

Not the way i planned
Only a one woman
I bet my heart
My heart on you
I bet my van
My blue suede shoes
I would do anything for you
Rocker blues

Not the way i planned
Only a one woman
I bet my heart
My heart on you
I bet my van
My blue suede shoes




I would do anything for you
Rocker blues

Overall Meaning

The song "Rocker Blues" by F.R. David begins with the singer portraying a man trapped in household chores, waiting for his significant other to return home. He describes himself as a "one woman man, a dog waiting for a bone." The man seems dedicated and loyal to his partner. However, the situation he finds himself is not how he planned it. He had his eyes set on being a rockstar, but now he has to settle for a nine to five job, waiting for the bus every day at the same time.


The song can be seen as a reflection of life's unexpected turns and the heartache that comes with it. The man once had a dream of becoming a musician and living life on the edge, but those days are gone. Instead, he's just a regular person leading a mundane life, he still cherishes his partner and is willing to do anything for her. Perhaps the hard rock guitar riff, paired with its melancholic melody, represents the pain of giving up one's dreams, but also the hope of finding joy in love.

Came here from an old powercut vaporwave edit of this track. Discovering new music is one of my favourite things about artists sampling music.

Erase el año 1982, en Venezuela 🇻🇪 yo solo tenia 15 años de edad, cuando escuchè esta bella y triste obra de arte. Ahora en el 2021 aqui en USA sigo escuchandola.
