Boys In The Band
Jaydee Bixby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you hear this song
You like your music loud
And your whiskey strong
Cause everybody
In this honky tonk
Has had a hard day
If you're here tonight
You wanna forget about
Your 9 to 5
Tie one on
And let it fly
And that's okay
And even if
It's just tonight
We'll help you
Leave it all behind
Yeah
We'll take you down
To sweet home Alabama
And out
To hotel California
Show you
The bluest skies in Texas
And the green
Green grass of home
If you buy us a round
We won?t turn it down
Come on people
Give a hand
To the boys in the band
This song
Is like a crazy train
Or a wild ride
On a horse with no name
Take you
To another time or place
Or feeling
Like the first time
You fell in love
Of the last time
You got too drunk
And ended up
In the back of your truck
Just a singing
Even if it's just tonight
We'll help you
Leave it all behind
Yeah
You'll meet an angel
From Montgomery
Battle devil down
In Georgia
By the time
We get to Phoenix
You'll be
Rocky mountain high
If you buy us a round
We won't turn it down
Come on people
Give a hand
To the boys in the band
If you buy us a round
We won?t turn it down
Come on people
Give a hand
To the boys in the band
I'll give a hand
To the boys in the band
Come on and give us a hand
The lyrics of Jaydee Bixby's "Boys In The Band" portray a feeling of escapism and the desire to forget the daily grind. The song speaks to those who have had a hard day and need a release, and it suggests that music and whiskey are the perfect cure for that.

The song references several iconic locations and songs, such as "Sweet Home Alabama," "Hotel California," and "Rocky Mountain High." These references act as further proof of the idea of escapism and the desire to be transported to another time and place. The chorus invites the audience to be part of the experience and to give a hand to the boys in the band, implying that the music is a two-way street, and the audience is as much a part of the experience as the band.
Overall, "Boys In The Band" is a feel-good song that celebrates the power of music and whiskey to provide escape and enjoyment. It stands out as a song that is not necessarily about deep, meaningful lyrics but rather the feeling that music can provide.
Line by Line Meaning
Chances are
It's highly probable that
If you hear this song
If you're able to listen to this song
You like your music loud
You enjoy your music at high volume
And your whiskey strong
And your alcoholic drink highly potent
Cause everybody
Because everyone
In this honky tonk
Within this venue for country music and dance
Has had a hard day
Has experienced a taxing time
If you're here tonight
If you're present in this moment
You wanna forget about
You wish to overlook or disregard
Your 9 to 5
Your typical day job or everyday routine
Tie one on
Have some alcoholic drinks
And let it fly
And let loose or be uninhibited
And that's okay
And that's acceptable or normal
And even if
And in case
It's just tonight
It's solely for this evening
We'll help you
We will assist you
Leave it all behind
Forget everything else
We'll take you down
We'll bring you to
To sweet home Alabama
To the lovely state of Alabama
And out
And outside
To hotel California
To the famed Hotel California
Show you
Exhibit or demonstrate for you
The bluest skies in Texas
Texas' picturesque cerulean skies
And the green
And the verdant
Green grass of home
Luscious grass of your hometown
If you buy us a round
If you purchase alcoholic drinks for us
We won't turn it down
We won't reject it
Come on people
Let's go, folks
Give a hand
Give a round of applause
To the boys in the band
To the male musicians of the band
This song
This melody
Is like a crazy train
Resembles a tumultuous journey
Or a wild ride
Or an unpredictable excursion
On a horse with no name
On a horse without a name
Take you
Brings you to
To another time or place
To a different era or location
Or feeling
Or emotion
Like the first time
Similar to your initial encounter
You fell in love
That you had fallen in love
Of the last time
Of the final time
You got too drunk
You consumed too much alcohol
And ended up
And eventually landed yourself
In the back of your truck
In the cargo area of your vehicle
Just a singing
Just singing along
You'll meet an angel
You'll encounter an angelic person
From Montgomery
From the city of Montgomery in Alabama
Battle devil down
Combat a demon
In Georgia
In the state of Georgia
By the time
When
We get to Phoenix
We arrive at Phoenix
You'll be
You will certainly be
Rocky mountain high
Euphoric feeling of being close to Rocky Mountains
I'll give a hand
I will clap my hands
