ONE ROOM COUNTRY SHACK
Mr. B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here in my one room country little shack
Sittin' here, a thousand miles from nowhere
Here in my one room country little shack
My only worldly possession is this ragged old eleven foot cotton sack
Yes, I wake up every night around midnight
People, I just can't sleep no more
People, I just can't sleep no more
Crickets and frogs to keep me company
And the wind is howlin' 'round my door
Yes, I'm leavin' in the mornin'
People, I'm just about to lose my mind
Yes, I'm leavin' here early in the mornin'
People, I'm just about to lose my mind
I got to find me some kind of companion
Even if she's dumb, deaf, crippled and blind
The song "One Room Country Shack" by Mr. B describes a person living a desolate life in a remote cabin. The lyrics highlight the loneliness of living alone in a small shack with limited worldly possessions. The singer is a thousand miles from civilization and has only a ragged eleven-foot cotton sack as a possession. The song portrays the struggles and isolation of living in such conditions. The singer's main company are crickets, frogs, and the sound of wind howling around his door.
The lyrics also illustrate the singer's insomnia. He wakes up every night around midnight and cannot fall back asleep. The singer cannot find solace or companionship in his surroundings, and the constant noise from nature only seems to amplify his loneliness. The singer has decided to leave in the morning since he can no longer bear the solitude, and he expresses the dire need for companionship, regardless of the person's physical abilities.
