Knekker og brekker i Buffalo shoes
Step ut av huset med Buffalo shoes
Knekker og brekker i Buffalo shoes
Ja Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo (oh)

Sitter på bussen min æ'kke mer plass
Jeg tenker putta la vi kjører så raskt
Jeg zoomer med baggene trykker på gass
Stiller i kø men det æ'kke mer plass

I bilen vi fuck it up med Buffalo shoes på

Overall Meaning

The song "Buffalo" by H.S. Tuominen is a tribute to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, a collection of distilleries located throughout the state of Kentucky. The lyrics describe a journey to one of these distilleries, Heaven Hill, which is located in the town of Bardstown. The journey takes eight hours, and the singer gives directions to get there by traveling south from Louisville until reaching the distillery, which is home to a bourbon still. The singer references Parker, who is likely Parker Beam, a longtime master distiller for Heaven Hill who passed away in 2017.

The song is also a nod to Buffalo Trace, another popular bourbon distillery in Kentucky. The singer mentions the brand by name, describing it as something that will "make her mark" on his face. The song also references the Blue Grass Parkway, a scenic road in Kentucky that connects major cities in the state, including Louisville and Lexington. The singer describes it as his favorite place, further emphasizing the connection between the song and the state of Kentucky.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "just leave me where I'm found, and put my bones in the ground." This could be interpreted as a reference to the idea of being buried in the land that is dear to one's heart, specifically Kentucky in this case.
