Her
Paisley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Imagine her
Standing there
Young again
Long brown hair
As he crosses over
To the other side
She smiles at him
He runs at her
With arms open wide

She was his reason for living
She was his rock and his best friend
They'll be reunited in heaven
'Cause he's dying to see her again

He went downhill (he went downhill)
Once she was gone (once she was gone)
Lost the will, to carry on
They couldn't find nothing wrong (they couldn't find nothing wrong)
No matter what they did
But I know the answers in the picture frame that's sitting by his desk

She was his reason for living
She was his rock and his best friend
They'll be reunited in heaven
'Cause he's dying to see her again

As the doctors come running
I overhear a nurse say "were loosin' him"
We've been losing him since he lost her

'Cause she was his reason for living
She was his rock and his best friend




They'll be reunited in heaven
'Cause he's dying to see her again

Overall Meaning

In Brad Paisley's song "Her," he portrays the independence and strength of his partner. He begins by cancelling their dinner date, expecting her to be upset, but instead, she casually makes other plans with her friends to see a movie. Paisley is in awe of her ability to be her own person and live her life without him, but at the same time, he expresses his love for her and the impact she has on his life. Without her, he admits that he would be lost in their home, where he doesn't even know where the tarragon is. He marvels at how she is a self-sufficient woman who has never needed anyone to help her in life, and yet he fell in love with her all by himself.


Line by Line Meaning

I called to say I'm working late tonight
I informed her that I'll be busy at work for the night


To cancel our dinner date but she just said that's alright
I cancelled our dinner plan, but she was fine with it


Just like that she made some other plans
She effortlessly made alternative plans


Saw a movie with a couple friends had herself a ball
She enjoyed herself watching a movie with a few friends


Oh, cause after all
Because she's independent and confident


She's her own woman without me she does fine
She can thrive without me - she's strong and capable


She's her own woman (woahhh) but she's mine
She's mine, but she's still her own person


I couldn't tell you even if you had a gun to my head
I have no idea where the tarragon is or what it's for


Where we keep the tarragon or even what the hell that is
I'm clueless about the tarragon and its whereabouts


Well I wouldn't last 45 minutes in this house without her living in it
I couldn't survive without her presence and support in this house


I'd be lost yeah that's for sure but as for her
I would be a mess without her, but she can handle herself


She's her own woman without me she'd be fine
Even if I'm not there for her, she'll still be okay


She's her own woman (woahhh) but she's mine
She's mine, but she's still her own person


Raised up a daddy's girl went out into the big wide world
She grew up under her dad's care and ventured into the world on her own


Has never needed anybody's help
She's self-sufficient and independent


With everything she does for me,
Despite everything she does for me


Oh it's still a mystery how I fell in love with her all by myself
I'm still amazed at how I ended up falling in love with her on my own


She's her own woman
She's independent and self-sufficient


Got it goin' on, that's suits me fine
Her independence and self-sufficiency are attractive and fitting for me


You're gunna have to find your own woman
If you're looking for someone like her, you'll have to find your own


Ohhh cause she's mine.
Even though she's independent, she's still mine

Lyrics: Brad Paisley - I'm Gonna Miss Her

[Verse 1]
Well I love her
But I love to fish
I spend all day out on this lake
And hell is all I catch
But today she met me at the door
Said I would have to choose
If I hit that fishin' hole today
She'd be packin' all her things
And she'd be gone by noon

[Chorus]
Well, I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
Right now I'm on this lake shore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
Yeah, I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

[Verse 2]
Now there's a chance that if I hurry
I could beg her to stay
But that water's right
And the weather's perfect
No tellin' what I might catch today

[Chorus]
So I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
But right now I'm on this lake shore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
Yeah, I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, another bite

Yeah, I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

@jackanarchy9946

Well I love her, but I love COD
I spend all day out on my couch, And hell is all I get
Today she met me in my room, Said I would have to choose
If I hit Xbox on today, She'd be packin' all her things
And she'd be gone by noon

Well, I'm gonna miss her!
When it's all done, But right now I'm in this deathmatch
And I'm gunnin everyone
I'm sure it'll hit me, when I turn off that screen tonight
Yeah, I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a kill.

This is easily one of Brad's best songs. If you love fishing and country music, you'll want to loop this on your player over and over again!

@milkimadethebeat7858

I'm not even a huge country fan but I'll sing this song ANY time it's on

@Cattlerest

Great song Thanks for the memories!

@MrHermit12

I sing this song in my head about 1000x while I'm fishing.
