Out Here
Steven Lee Olsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had to have a barn
Landed me a woman with horses in her heart
True what they say grass is greener on a farm
It'll make a long day worth it
The sun goes down it gets colder
So yeah, the closer I hold her
Where it's going, it's moonshine clear
Talkin' a hood hot night
The kind, that can only happen out here
With a bonfire flicker, and a red solo sipper
Catch a heel to toe on a Lucchese
Out here we bump a little Strait
Make a acre shake
Roll up and get a Backwood blazing
Honey so thick it make a weekend slower
Beer is better on a John Deere mower
Static automatic music to my ears
Wouldn't have it any different
Good God, I love livin' out here, out here
Wouldn't have it any different
Good God, I love living out here, out here
Something 'bout Kentucky blue under your feet
Clothes line of Carhartt, swinging in the breeze
Whole lotta nothing as far as I can see
It just don't get better
Than rooster crow in the morning
Dancing on wraparound porches
Making sweet tea, making it disappear
With an angel by my side I'm building a life
The kind you can only build out here
With a bonfire flicker, and a red solo sipper
Catch a heel to toe on a Lucchese
Out here we bump a little Strait
Make a acre shake
Roll up and get a Backwood blazing
Honey so thick it make a weekend slower
Beer is better on a John Deere mower
Static automatic music to my ears
Wouldn't have it any different
Good God, I love livin' out here, out here
Wouldn't have it any different
Good God, I love living out here, out here
Give me a bonfire flicker, with a red solo sipper
Catch a heel to toe on a Lucchese
Out here we bump a little Strait
Make a acre shake
Roll up and get a Backwood blazing
Honey so thick it make a weekend slower
Beer is better on a John Deere mower
Static automatic music to my ears
Wouldn't have it any different
Good God, I love livin' out here, out here
Wouldn't have it any different
Good God, I love living out here, out here
The lyrics to Steven Lee Olsen's song "Out Here" paint a vivid picture of life in a rural setting, specifically on a farm. The song begins by describing the singer's acquisition of land and the need for a barn, as well as finding a partner who shares their love for horses. The lyrics highlight the idea that life on a farm can be fulfilling and satisfying, as the grass is greener and the hard work is worth it in the end.
The chorus captures the essence of the song, emphasizing the magical and unique experiences that can only be found "out here." The imagery of shooting stars, hot summer nights, and the sense of community around a bonfire are all emblematic of the joys of living in a rural area. The lyrics also mention the enjoyment of country music, specifically referencing George Strait, which adds to the authenticity and relatability of the song.
The second verse continues to celebrate the simple pleasures of life in the countryside, mentioning elements such as the bluegrass of Kentucky, Carhartt clotheslines, and the vastness of the surrounding landscape. The lyrics convey a sense of peacefulness and contentment that comes from being surrounded by nature and engaging in activities like making sweet tea and listening to the rooster's crow.
