Her
Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it wouldn't take her long
To get to where she's goin
Wouldn't change her mind
But didn't mind if I wanted to tag along
And even though I'd only known her for a minute
Her name was all I needed
You just get into the car and watch her drive
Ya watch her drive
She hardly had a hand on the wheel
For changing the stations on that old radio
Dress fell off her shoulder
Just enough to see her dragonfly tattoo
Gas station, left her purse in the car
But somehow she still walked out with cigarettes
Probably charmed them off that counter clerk
Just another man who would love to watch her drive
Ya watch her drive
Well I know come tomorrow
That she won't be around
So maybe "Are we meant to be?"
Is no more than right, no more than right now
She cut the headlights off
Climbed up onto the hood
And we watched the trains roll by
And through a laugh she asked
Which one of those stars above do you believe is heaven?
I said I'm not quite sure
But I kinda feel with you girl I'm already there
She leaned in close, closed her eyes
And ya... I just watched her drive
I watched her drive
Well I know come tomorrow
That she won't be around
So maybe "Are we meant to be?"
Is no more than right, no more than right now
Ya I know come tomorrow
That she won't be around
So maybe "Are we meant to be?"
Is no more than right, no more than right now
She didn't have much to say
Just drop me off
Back where it all began
And I just stood there as she disappeared
Ya something tells me
That I'll always watch her drive
Always watch her drive
Ya watch her drive
Ya watch her drive
Ya watch her drive
Ya watch her drive
Ooh ya
Ya watch her drive
Ya watch her drive
Well watch her drive
The lyrics of "Her" by Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen tell the story of a fleeting and intense connection between the singer and a mysterious woman. She announces her departure, but nonchalantly invites him to join her on her journey. The woman exudes a sense of independence and allure, with the singer feeling an instant pull towards her without knowing much about her. Despite the short duration of their acquaintance, he is captivated by her enigmatic presence and agrees to accompany her.
As they embark on their journey, the woman takes control, effortlessly changing stations on the radio and displaying a carefree attitude. Her subtle display of vulnerability, such as the falling shoulder dress revealing a dragonfly tattoo, adds to her mystique. Even in mundane situations like stopping at a gas station, she exudes a charm that entrances those around her, including the singer who is content to observe her every move as she drives.
The lyrics reveal a bittersweet realization that their time together is temporary, as the singer acknowledges that she will not be around the next day. However, in the fleeting moments they share, there is a sense of being present in the now and embracing the fleeting connection for what it is. The woman's candid question about the stars above prompts a soulful moment of contemplation, with the singer feeling a sense of contentment and belonging in her presence.
The song concludes with a poignant scene where the woman bids a simple farewell, leaving the singer reflective as he watches her disappear from his life. Despite the brevity of their encounter, there is a lingering sense of nostalgia and admiration for her essence. The repetitive refrain of "watch her drive" throughout the song evokes a wistful longing to hold on to the memory of the woman and the transient journey they shared, leaving an indelible mark on the singer's heart.
Line by Line Meaning
She said she was leaving
Expressed her intentions to depart
And it wouldn't take her long
Expected a quick journey
To get to where she's going
Reach her destination
Wouldn't change her mind
Not open to altering decisions
But didn't mind if I wanted to tag along
Open to company during the trip
And even though I'd only known her for a minute
Despite a brief acquaintance
Her name was all I needed
Simply knowing her name was sufficient
Cause she's the kind of girl you don't turn down
A girl too captivating to refuse
You just get into the car and watch her drive
Enthralled by her driving
Ya watch her drive
Fascinated by her driving skills
She hardly had a hand on the wheel
Rarely touched the steering wheel
For changing the stations on that old radio
To adjust the radio channels
Dress fell off her shoulder
Shoulder exposed by slipping dress
Just enough to see her dragonfly tattoo
Visible glimpse of her tattoo
Gas station, left her purse in the car
Forgot her purse at the gas station
But somehow she still walked out with cigarettes
Managed to obtain cigarettes despite the oversight
Probably charmed them off that counter clerk
Likely used charm to acquire cigarettes
Just another man who would love to watch her drive
Joining the ranks of admirers of her driving
Well I know come tomorrow
Anticipating her absence the next day
That she won't be around
Expecting her to be gone
So maybe 'Are we meant to be?'
Reflecting on potential connection
Is no more than right, no more than right now
Acknowledging the present moment
She cut the headlights off
Turned off the headlights
Climbed up onto the hood
Got on top of the car hood
And we watched the trains roll by
Observed passing trains together
And through a laugh she asked
Posed a question with a chuckle
Which one of those stars above do you believe is heaven?
Inquired about heavenly stars
I said I'm not quite sure
Expressed uncertainty
But I kinda feel with you girl I'm already there
Sensed a connection with her
She leaned in close, closed her eyes
Approached closely with closed eyes
And ya... I just watched her drive
Simply enjoyed watching her drive
She didn't have much to say
Spoke few words
Just drop me off
Requested to be dropped at destination
Back where it all began
Return to the starting point
And I just stood there as she disappeared
Watched her vanish
Ya something tells me
A feeling indicates
That I'll always watch her drive
Forever observe her driving
Ooh ya
Expressing an emotional reaction
