Hole in the Wall
Mel Waiters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've had my best time y'all at the hole in the wall
3 o'clock in the morning
All the damn clubs are closed
I went to this place y'all
I didn't want anyone to know
I walked into the room
It's 7 in the morning
And I'm still in there
Let's go baby to the hole in the wall
I've had my best time y'all at the hole in the wall
I took my high class woman
With me the next night
She didn't want to get out of the car
She said it didn't look right
She walked into the room
With her nose in the air
It's 7 in the morning y'all
She's still in there
Smoke filled room
Whiskey and chicken wings
People dancin' and drinkin'
And no one wants to leave
Let's go baby to the hole in the wall
I've had my best time y'all at the hole in the wall
Smoke filled room
Whiskey and chicken wings
People dancin' and drinkin'
And no one wants to leave
Let's go baby to the hole in the wall
I've had my best time y'all at the hole in the wall
I wanna go baby, can we go
To the hole in the wall
I know y'all a lot of y'all heard of that before
It's like all time of night you can hang out all night long
And I wanna go back to the hole in the wall
Somebody go with me
Let's go baby to the hole in the wall
I've had my best time y'all at the hole in the wall
3 o'clock in the morning
All the damn clubs are closed
I went to this place y'all
I didn't want anyone to know
I walked into the room
Had my nose in the air
It's 7 in the morning
And I'm still in there
Let's go baby to the hole in the wall
I've had my best time y'all at the hole in the wall
Let's go baby to the hole in the wall
I've had my best time y'all at the hole in the wall
In Mel Waiters's song "Hole in the Wall," the singer describes his experiences at a dive bar, which he fondly refers to as "the hole in the wall." He first went to the bar at 3 o'clock in the morning, when all the other clubs were closed, and he didn't want anyone to know he was there. Despite the smoke-filled room, whiskey and chicken wings, and general debauchery, Waiters claims to have had a great time there.
The singer's second visit to the hole in the wall was with his "high class woman." However, she was reluctant to go inside and considered it beneath her. Nevertheless, she eventually enters the bar, looking down her nose at the other patrons. Despite her snobbish attitude, she winds up staying until seven in the morning.
The song suggests that the hole in the wall is a place that people go to when they have nowhere else to go. It's a hidden gem, a spot where the patrons can forget their troubles and let loose. The singer yearns to return to the hole in the wall with someone else, as it is a place of great memories and fun times.

You gotta be from the south to know what it’s like. Being deep in the woods away from the city. Kids running around having fun with 0 supervision lol. While the adults playing dominos/spades drinking and smoking. I’ll do anything to go back in time.
