Body Like a Backroad
Tay Watts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
First time I seen her walk by, man I ′bout fell off my chair
Had to get her number, it took me like six weeks
Now me and her go way back like Cadillac seats
Body like a back road, drivin' with my eyes closed
I know every curve like the back of my hand
Doin′ 15 in a 30, I ain't in no hurry
The way she fit in them blue jeans, she don′t need no belt
But I can turn them inside out, I don′t need no help
Got hips like honey, so thick and so sweet
It ain't no curves like hers on them downtown streets
Body like a back road, drivin′ with my eyes closed
I know every curve like the back of my hand
Doin' 15 in a 30, I ain′t in no hurry
I'ma take it slow just as fast as I can
We′re out here in the boondocks
With the breeze and the birds
Tangled up in the tall grass
With my lips on hers
On the highway to heaven
Headed south of her smile
Get there when we get there
Every inch is a mile
Body like a back road, drivin' with my eyes closed
I know every curve like the back of my hand
Doin' 15 in a 30, I ain′t in no hurry
I′ma take it slow just as fast as I can
I'ma take it slow
As fast as I can
Body like a back road
Drivin′ with my eyes closed
I know every curve like the back of my hand
The lyrics to Tay Watts's song Body Like a Backroad is undoubtedly one of the most widely known songs that speaks of a girl's physical appeal. Tay talks about his attraction to a girl he met from the southern part of the United States. The girl has her hair in braids as he saw her walk for the first time, and he couldn't help but fall off his chair. It took six weeks before he could get her number, and now they go way back like Cadillac seats.
The lyrics describe the girl's physical appearance using different metaphors. Her body is like a back road, and he knows every curve like the back of his hand. Tay is taking things slow as fast as he can define his relationship with the girl. He talks about the girl's hips and how sweet and thick they are, like honey. He further stresses that no other girl has a body like hers on the downtown streets.
In the last verse, Tay Watts takes us to the boondocks, depicting the isolated and rural outskirts of the country. He describes their intimate time spent in the grass, kissing her as they head towards the south of her smile while on their way to heaven. Everywhere they go, every inch feels like a mile, and Tay is taking everything very slow as fast as he can to savour every moment with the girl.
