L7 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Parked on the freeway, fuck it man
Parked on the freeway, sippin' from a can
Parked on the freeway, he's our man
Yeah, he's our man
Don't burn the dog
Go get the gun
The lyrics of L7's "Freeway" depict a scene of danger and recklessness. The opening lines suggest that the singer is parked on the freeway and drinking from a can, indicating that they are indulging in reckless behavior. The repetition of the line "Parked on the freeway, fuck it man" emphasizes this disregard for safety and consequences. The singer is described as "our man", which could suggest a sense of camaraderie or community with those who engage in similar reckless behavior.
However, the line "Don't burn the dog" introduces a sense of moral ambiguity into the song. It could be interpreted as a warning not to take things too far, perhaps a plea not to let anyone get hurt. The final line, "Go get the gun", further adds to the sense of danger and unpredictability.
Overall, the lyrics of "Freeway" paint a picture of a person or group of people engaging in reckless behavior on the freeway, with hints of moral uncertainty and potential violence.

Dunno why some people get so upset when a band experiments with some different sounds. There's nothing more boring than hearing the same riffs or choruses over and over. I love this track. I reckon L7 are one of the greats.

i felt nailed when i first heard it its really straight and the only reason people might not like that song is because its served differently its so straight to the point i love it

Love this. It's funny, because I was alerted to this by a bad review for their album Slap Happy that singled this song out as especially bad. But it's catchy and fun.

@13DeadBrain I am an avid music listener,, Wish that counted as a job, because it would be paying me 24/7.. I listen to it all day and night, even when I sleep and it finds its way into the occasional dream. L7 needs to come back with the classic early 90's apathy and angst we all still feel. I even miss Donit's longer brown/ blue/ blonde messy hair! As a musician myself, I try to keep that attitude alive.. Come back L7!
