Her Man
Gary Allan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I'm turning over a new leaf, gonna get myself in gear
'Cause I've got a woman who is better than most
And I've made a mess of her plans
Startin' today, all I'm gonna be is her man
'Cause I've been a wild catter, and a go-go getter
Been an S.O.B. right down to the letter
I'm even more than I can stand
But startin' today, all I'm gonna be is her man
I'm gonna give it all back, 'cause all I've done is take
Well I've put her on the back-burner while I was out on the make
But I've got a woman who is good enough to give me
A second chance again
And startin' today, all I'm gonna be is her man
'Cause I've been a wild catter, and a go-go getter
Been an S.O.B. right down to the letter
I've had misadventures, I've even got pictures
I'm even more than I can stand
But startin' today, all I'm gonna be is her man
I'm a little bit late but I'm wisin' up
Now I'm takin' her by the hand
And startin' today, all I'm gonna be is her man
In Gary Allan's song Her Man, the singer expresses his desire to change his ways and become a better person for his significant other. He acknowledges that he has made mistakes in the past, living a wild and reckless life as a "wild catter" and "go-go getter." He admits to being an "S.O.B. right down to the letter" and has "had misadventures" which he even has pictures of. However, he is willing to give it all back because he recognizes that he has taken more than he has given, and he wants to show his woman that she is important to him by being a better man from now on. He concludes by pledging to take her by the hand and be her man from that day forward.
The song talks about the importance of changing for the better for the one you love. It depicts the realization that one has been selfish and careless, leading them to lose sight of what's important, but at the same time highlighting the need to make amends and learn from their mistakes.
