Joe Buck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could not crawl back if I tried
I couldn't wait around
I couldn't wait another second
Something going on around here
I left my baby on the side of the highway
She just couldn't see things my way
Someday I will treat you good
Someday I will treat you fine
Someday I will treat you good
You know I should
Everything that's made is made to decay
Well I'm shrinking bones in the sun
Won't you tell me why that
The beautiful ones are always crazy
She's whispering like Morticia now
I left my baby on the side of the road
I left her with a heavy load
Someday I will treat you good
Someday I will treat you fine
Someday I will treat you good
You know I should
Something going on around here
I could not crawl back if I tried
I left my baby on the side of highway
She just couldn't see things my way
Someday I will treat you good
Someday I will treat you fine
Someday I will treat you good
You know I should
The lyrics to Joe Buck's song "I Will Survive" depict a man who is experiencing intense emotions and grappling with the aftermath of a failed relationship. The opening lines suggest a sense of chaos and unrest, as the singer acknowledges that "something is going on around here" that he cannot quite understand or control. He admits that he is unable to "crawl back" to his former life and cannot wait another second, suggesting a feeling of urgency and the need to move forward.
The verses that follow provide more insight into the singer's state of mind. He speaks of leaving his "baby" on the side of the highway, unable to reconcile their differences. The repetition of the phrase "sometime I will treat you good" suggests a recognition that he has not treated his partner well in the past, but also a desire to make amends and do better in the future. The line "everything that's made is made to decay" speaks to a sense of impermanence and the fleeting nature of life and relationships.
The final verse includes the haunting image of the singer's partner whispering "like Morticia," a reference to the character from The Addams Family known for her eerie and mysterious demeanor. The song ends with a repetition of the opening lines, emphasizing the idea that something unknown and potentially dangerous is happening in the singer's life.
