Your Turn
Frosty Heidi and Frank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Would not let me be
Wouldn't rest content
'Till I came to Tennessee
If you follow me baby
I'll turn your money green
I show you more money
If the river was whiskey
Baby and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom
Lord and I'd never come up
Lord the woman I hate
I see her every day
But the woman I love
She's so far away
Talk about *sweetheart*
I declare I'm a honest man
Give my woman so many dollars
It broke her apron string
All she give me was trouble
I'm troubled all the time
I been troubled so long
Trouble don't worry my mind
I been down so long
It seem like up to me
Woman I love
She done quit poor me
What's the need of me hollering
What's the need of me crying
Woman I love
She don't pay me no mind
The lyrics in Frosty Heidi and Frank's song "Your Turn" are rich with emotion and storytelling, capturing themes of longing, love, and despair. The opening lines set the scene in Missouri, where the singer feels restless and unsettled until they make their way to Tennessee. This physical journey mirrors a deeper internal quest for fulfillment and contentment.
The singer's invitation to "follow me, baby, I'll turn your money green" suggests a promise of wealth and prosperity, offering to show their partner a life of abundance beyond what even Rockefeller has seen. This imagery conveys a sense of allure and temptation, enticing the listener to join them on a path of riches and success.
The metaphor of "if the river was whiskey and I was a duck" paints a vivid picture of escapism and immersing oneself in pleasure. The singer would dive to the bottom and never resurface, indicating a desire to fully embrace a life of indulgence and hedonism, free from the constraints of reality.
The final verses speak of longing and heartache, with the singer expressing sorrow over the distance between them and the woman they love. Despite the woman they hate being near, it is the absence of the beloved that truly weighs on their heart, leading to feelings of abandonment and unrequited love. The repeated refrain of "woman I love, she don't pay me no mind" reflects a sense of resignation and acceptance of their unreciprocated feelings, ultimately leaving the singer in a state of emotional turmoil and longing.
