Baseball Cap
John King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watchin' you take your time
Watchin' you going crazy
Watchin' you lose your mind
Watchin' you getting ready
Watching you change your clothes
Asking me what i think
Baby we both know
In your favorite pair of worn out jeans
And that ripped up ACDC t-shirt that always works for me
Yeah, baby you're a home run
Hair up, down home
Looking what I'm looking at
So why are you runnin' around, runnin' around, runnin' around like that
Girl, I'd take you in a baseball cap
(in your baseball cap)
You don't need that lipstick
We're just gonna kiss it off
You don't need them earrings
You always get one lost
You don't need them high heels
They always hurt your feet
And if you slip that little dress off
That'd be fine with me
I'd take you in a baseball cap, just like that,
In your favorite pair of worn out jeans
And that ripped up ACDC t-shirt that always works for me
Yeah, baby you're a home run
Hair up, down home
Looking what I'm looking at
So why are you runnin' around, runnin' around, runnin' around like that
Girl, I'd take you in a baseball cap
I'd take you in a baseball cap
Might not even make it out of here
Naw, baby, we might stay home
Then again girl we can go any where
Just say where you wanna go
I'd take you in a baseball cap, just like that,
In your favorite pair of worn out jeans
And that ripped up ACDC t-shirt that always works for me
Yeah, baby you're a home run
Hair up, down home
Looking what I'm looking at
So why are you runnin' around, runnin' around, runnin' around like that
Girl, I'd take you in a baseball cap
Yeah, in your baseball cap
Yeah, you're beautiful (just like that)
In your baseball cap (just like that)
In your baseball cap
The lyrics to John King's song "Baseball Cap" are a sweet ode to a woman's natural beauty. The singer describes his attraction to the woman, watching her as she changes and gets ready. But despite all the effort she puts into her appearance, he tells her that she doesn't need all the added cosmetics and fashion accessories - he finds her most attractive when she's wearing her favorite pair of worn-out jeans and a ripped-up ACDC t-shirt. He even goes as far as saying that he would prefer her in a simple baseball cap rather than anything fancy she might put on. The singer just wants to take her out, or stay in with her, just the way she is.
The song captures the essence of a genuine attraction; it's not about dressing up for each other, but rather basking in each other as they are. The lyrics are relatable to many young couples who value substance over style in their relationships. The simplicity of the song, both in terms of the instrumentals and lyrics, adds to the overall charm of it. John King's smooth vocals and the country style of music make the song perfect for anyone who is a fan of country music or who enjoys listening to heartfelt love songs.
