The lyrics to Jaydee Bixby's song "Tailgate" paint a vivid picture of a vibrant and energetic gathering in a parking lot before a big show or event. The first verse describes the scene, with Ford F 1-5-0 trucks taking up spaces in the back row and people arriving early to set up their tailgates for the party. It highlights the atmosphere of anticipation and excitement as people prepare for a fun-filled day under the big blue sky. The mention of Igloo coolers, Coleman lights, and charcoal grills adds to the imagery of a well-equipped tailgate setup.
The chorus emphasizes the central theme of the song, which is the camaraderie and celebration taking place at the tailgate. People are seen sitting on the back of their trucks, enjoying the company of friends and the lively spirit of the gathering. Beer is mentioned as a staple beverage, and the sound of honking horns indicates the enthusiasm and energy in the air. The repetition of the word "tailgate" in the chorus further emphasizes the sense of unity and enjoyment that comes with this pre-event tradition.
In the second verse, a Mustang is mentioned, squeezing in between larger trucks like the dually and the S-10. This detail suggests a carefree, adventurous attitude and highlights the diversity of vehicles at the tailgate. The mention of girls climbing out of the Mustang and making joyful shouts further adds to the lively and fun-filled ambiance.
The bridge of the song talks about the excitement of the event itself. The line "til they go and open up them doors" suggests the anticipation building before the main event or show begins. Meanwhile, the singer declares that they can be found on a four by four (all-terrain vehicle) hanging out on a tailgate, reinforcing their commitment to fully enjoy the experience.
The second chorus encourages people to bring their friends and even their moms to the tailgate. It amplifies the inclusive nature of the gathering, where everyone is welcome to partake in the festivities. The mention of packing everyone into the tailgate and doing it all over again showcases the enthusiasm and desire to create lasting memories.
The lyrics ultimately convey a sense of community, celebration, and anticipation associated with tailgating. It captures the joy and excitement of the pre-event gathering, inviting listeners to join in the experience and immerse themselves in the fun-filled atmosphere.

@Matthewawalmsley
tecnically when a engine gets flooded it has so much gass in the cylinders that the spark plugs won't egnite it. Although some water can get in through the air filter it is usually on the top and is very unlikley. You can also get what is sometimes called a scope and it basically puts the air filter even higher up. This is what they use in the army.
