Lookin' For Love
Jamestown Story Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But never had no sunny days
So she moved up to Minnesota
To leave behind the things that kept the sun away
And now I cant believe shes gone
When nobody knows her pain
Baby don′t get too crazy
Cause your too young to know
That everything will work itself out
You got your daddy's will and your mothers luck
Lookin′ for love in a pick up truck
Wont find what ur looking for tonight
But I know ull be alright
Yeah I know ull be alright
She left town before I saw her
But left a note that would explain
She's always known troubles always followers her
And it always will until she goes away
She says its now or never
And that she's got to make a change
I wanna tell her
Baby don′t get too crazy
Cause your too young to know
That everything will work itself out
You got your daddy′s will and your mothers luck
Lookin' for love in a pick up truck
Wont find what your hoping for tonight
Just turn around (turn around)
Turn around (turn around)
Don′t run away just come back to me so I can help you now
Cause I wanna know why you are always alone
I wanna tell her
Baby don't get too crazy
Cause your too young to know
That everything will work itself out
You got your daddy′s will and your mothers luck
Lookin' for love in a pick up truck
Wont find what your hoping for tonight
I wanna tell her
Baby don′t get too crazy
Cause your too young to know
That everything will work itself out
You got your daddy's will and your mothers luck
Lookin' for love in a pick up truck
Wont find what your hoping for tonight
You won′t find what your hoping for tonight
Jamestown Story's "Lookin' for Love" is a song about a girl who grew up in California but never experienced sunny days. She moves up to Minnesota where she hopes to leave behind the things that have been keeping the sun away. However, she is still struggling and searching for something in all the wrong places. The song shows concern for the girl, with the singer wanting to help her by telling her not to get too crazy and that everything will work itself out. The singer acknowledges that the girl has her father's will and her mother's luck, but needs to find herself before looking for love.
Throughout the song, the singer is trying to help the girl by reminding her that she is too young to be making life-altering decisions. He tells her that she won't find what she's looking for in a pickup truck and urges her to turn around and come back to him so that he can help her. The meaning of the song is to encourage listeners to move on from their past and find themselves before searching for love. The song suggests that finding oneself is the key to finding happiness.
