Field Party
Kassi Ashton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You′d be stupid if you think I got cut-off blue jeans
Just 'cause I moved away don′t mean I don't remember how
To find a bucket on a fence-post and follow the sound
I can go back any time that I wanna
Hey, oh yeah, just holler
I can go back any time that I wanna
Did y'all think I forgot just where I was born and raised?
Well, I didn′t
And I′m sorry
Just when big city lights get to clouding up my mind
You will find me, you will find me
Hey, at a field party
Hey-ey-ey-ey
At a field party
Hey-ey-ey-ey
Just call your friends and find a fine piece of land
You can leave the rest to a cold Budweiser can
Don't gotta be country music, you can drop a beat
And if there′s trouble out here, we don't call the police
I can go back any time that I wanna
Hey, oh yeah, just holler
I can go back any time that I wanna
Hey, woo
Did y′all think I forgot just where I was born and raised?
Well, I didn't
And I′m sorry
Just when big city lights get to clouding up my mind
You can find me, you will find me
Hey, at a field party
Hey-ey-ey-ey
At a field party
Hey-ey-ey-ey
Step to the left (Oh no)
Pop it out to the right (Pop it out, pop it)
Make 'em shake in their boots, girl
Uh, then make it last all night (Make it last all night)
Step to the left (To the left, to the left)
Pop it out to the right (Pop it, girl, work it)
Make 'em shake in their boots, girl
Uh, then make it last all night (Yeah)
Did y′all think I forgot just where I was born and raised?
Well, I didn′t (I really didn't)
And I′m sorry (Well I ain't that sorry, baby)
Just when big city lights (Hey) get to clouding up my mind
You can find me (You will find me), you will find me (You will find me)
Hey, at a field party (Hey)
Hey-ey-ey-ey
At a field party (Put your hands up)
Hey-ey-ey-ey (Put your hands up, hey)
A field party (Get it, girl)
Hey-ey-ey-ey
At a field party (Put your hands up)
Hey-ey-ey-ey (Woo!)
"Field Party" by Kassi Ashton is a song that celebrates the joy of returning home to a good old-fashioned southern field party. Ashton who was raised in California and now lives in Tennessee reminds us that just because she's moved away and enjoying the bright city lights doesn't mean she can't appreciate her roots. The song begins with a reference to a jar of peaches which symbolizes something special for people from the southern United States. Ashton is implying that even though she has moved away to the city, she still remembers these small, but significant, southern traditions. She then continues to tell the story of how she can still find her way to a field party any time she wants. She emphasizes that at a field party, it's not just about the country music; they can drop a beat too. Ashton also sings about how, at these parties, they don't involve the police even when there's trouble.
Ashton seems determined to prove her dedication to her roots throughout the lyrics of Field Party. She sings about how people might misunderstand her, but regardless, she hasn't forgotten her humble background. When big city lights cloud up her mind, Ashton knows just how to clear them. The chorus repeats that "you will find me, you will find me" at a field party. She understands that these parties are more than just an event; they epitomize who she really is. Ashton wants her fans to know that when they listen to Field Party, they're connecting to her roots and the sense of community that those roots bring.
