See About a Girl
Lee Brice Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well me and the boys are feeling alright
Raising some hell, sipping on whiskey and shine, yeah
Bob Dylan on the jukebox, shooting some pool
Telling old stories and stretching the truth and the lies
Yeah, I feel my cell phone start buzzing in my pocket

Boys, y'all keep on rocking but I gotta roll, roll,
Point this Silverado down the road, road

Yeah, I know the beers here are cold
But I've got something warm waiting for me at home
Boys, I gotta go see about a girl

Ain't nothing you can say, so don't even try
The second she called that little girl made up my mind,
Yeah, she did
Don't buy me no shot, don't bring me no drink
Don't go wasting your money on me, bye, bye

Boys, you know I gotta roll, roll,
Point this Silverado down the road, road
Yeah, I know the beers here are cold
But I've got something warm waiting for me at home
Boys, I gotta go see about a girl

If you ever find a girl like mine,
Boys you'll know why

I gotta roll, roll
Point my Silverado down the road, road
Yeah, I know the beers here are cold
But I've got something warm waiting for me at home

Boys, I gotta go see about a girl
Sorry boys, I gotta go see about my girl

Overall Meaning

In Lee Brice's song "See About A Girl," the singer is out enjoying a night with his friends, listening to Bob Dylan on the jukebox and drinking whiskey and moonshine. Suddenly, he receives a call from a girl who, in his own words, "made up my mind." He tells his friends that he's leaving and heads home, stating that he has to "go see about a girl."

The lyrics convey a sense of urgency as the singer recognizes the importance of the relationship he has with the girl. He is willing to leave his friends and their fun night out behind because she is more important to him. The declaration that he "gotta go see about a girl" is a powerful statement about the power of romantic love and the lengths to which people will go to nurture it.

In addition to the romantic storyline, the song's themes of friendship and camaraderie are also present as the singer spends the beginning of the song relishing in time spent with his buddies. However, the sudden phone call and his need to leave emphasizes how strong his connection with this girl is. Through this, Brice highlights the conflict that sometimes arises when two strong desires, like the need for companionship and romance, clash.

Line by Line Meaning

Well me and the boys are feeling alright
I'm out with my friends and we're having a good time

Raising some hell, sipping on whiskey and shine, yeah
We're being a little rowdy and enjoying some drinks

Bob Dylan on the jukebox, shooting some pool
We're playing some music and shooting pool

Telling old stories and stretching the truth and the lies
We're reminiscing and maybe exaggerating our old stories

Yeah, I feel my cell phone start buzzing in my pocket
My phone is vibrating in my pocket

Boys, y'all keep on rocking but I gotta roll, roll,
Guys, keep having fun but I have to leave

Point this Silverado down the road, road
I'm leaving in my truck

Yeah, I know the beers here are cold
I know the beer is good

But I've got something warm waiting for me at home
I have something better at home

Boys, I gotta go see about a girl
I have to go see my girlfriend

Ain't nothing you can say, so don't even try
There's nothing you can do to change my mind

The second she called that little girl made up my mind,
As soon as my girlfriend called, I knew I had to go see her

Yeah, she did
That's right

Don't buy me no shot, don't bring me no drink
Don't waste your money on me

Don't go wasting your money on me, bye, bye
Save your money for yourself, I'm leaving

If you ever find a girl like mine,
If you ever find a girlfriend like mine,

Boys you'll know why
You'll understand why I had to go see her

Sorry boys, I gotta go see about my girl
I have to go see my girlfriend, sorry guys
