white noise
John And The Volta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fiddle and a steel guitar in some little redneck bar
Parkin' lot full of four wheel drives
You won't hear no hip-hop jive
Cowgirls lookin' for cowboys
Two-step to that ol' white noise
[Chorus]
I can't keep my cowboy boots from stompin'
To that white noise comin' from the white boys
Take me where those honky's are a-tonkin'
When the evenin' sun goes down crusin' through our little town
Country girls and country boys showin' off hillbilly toys
[Chorus]
Tractor pulls and rodeos, county fairs and bluegrass shows
It ain't a thing 'bout black and white
It's Johnny Cash and Charley Pride
It what I call white noise comin' from the real McCoys
I can't keep my cowboy boots from stompin'
To that white noise comin' from the real McCoys
Take me where those honky's are a-tonkin'
Take me where those honky's are a-tonkin'
And take me where those honky's are a-tonkin'
The song "White Noise" by John And The Volta pays tribute to the classic country music scene in America, with references to the Grand Old Opry, fiddles, steel guitars, cowgirls, and cowboys. The lyrics suggest that these traditional country music elements are what make up the "white noise" that the singer loves to hear. The song is an anthem to the people who appreciate this type of music, and who enjoy the unique culture that surrounds it.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "white noise comin' from the white boys," which can be interpreted as a reference to the fact that country music has historically been associated with white America. However, the lyrics also make it clear that the song is not about race, as it mentions Johnny Cash and Charley Pride, who were both African American country music stars. Instead, the "white noise" described in the song is more about the culture and lifestyle that goes along with traditional country music.
Overall, the song celebrates country music as a unique and important part of American culture, and encourages listeners to embrace its history and traditions.
