Annabelle
Hot Apple Pie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We should leave this old town
Take the highway past the riverside
And when the dust settles down
We'll be rollin' 'cross The Great Divide

Annabelle, come out of your shell
I'll go with you where you wanna go
Me an' you got a lot to do, you know it's true
So tell your Mom an' Pa that Arkansas is callin' you

Let's get lost in the woods
Way up high on a mountain top
An' if it stops feelin' good
We'll be gone before the next dew drops

Annabelle, come out of your shell
I'll go with you where you wanna go
Me an' you got a lot to do, you know it's true
So tell your Mom an' Pa that Arkansas is callin' you

You been dreamin' for a long ol' time
Southern winds hit your wings
On the front porch, way past suppertime
I'll be there to be your saint
Oh, whoa, to hear you sing

Annabelle, come out of your shell
I'll go with you where you wanna go
Me an' you got a lot to do, you know it's true

So tell your Mom an' Pa that Arkansas is callin' you
Callin' you, callin' you

Line by Line Meaning

We should leave this old town
We need to leave behind our current location


Take the highway past the riverside
We need to travel on the road near the river


And when the dust settles down
Once the situation calms down


We'll be rollin' 'cross The Great Divide
We will travel across an extensive region


Annabelle, come out of your shell
Annabelle, you need to break out of your isolation


I'll go with you where you wanna go
I will join you on your journey to your desired destination


Me an' you got a lot to do, you know it's true
The two of us have many things to accomplish together, and it's a fact


So tell your Mom an' Pa that Arkansas is callin' you
Inform your parents that you must travel to Arkansas


Let's get lost in the woods
We need to wander aimlessly in the forest


Way up high on a mountain top
At an elevated location, such as the peak of a mountain


An' if it stops feelin' good
If our mood dissipates


We'll be gone before the next dew drops
We will leave before the morning arrives


You been dreamin' for a long ol' time
You have been fantasizing for an extended period


Southern winds hit your wings
Winds from the south are affecting you positively


On the front porch, way past suppertime
We will be waiting for you outside long after dinner time


I'll be there to be your saint
I will be there to act as your protector and guide


Oh, whoa, to hear you sing
I eagerly await the sound of your voice


So tell your Mom an' Pa that Arkansas is callin' you
Inform your parents that you need to travel to Arkansas


Callin' you, callin' you
Arkansas is summoning you
