Cruisin'

Well I'm cruisin' with my baby
Cruisin with my baby down the road
well I'm cruisin' with my baby
Cruisin' with my baby down the road
Yeah
Gotta lotta of money gotta lotta of love
Gotta lotta of honey and that's all right
come on baby take her home In your car
Down the milky way

Cruisin' with my baby down the road Yeah

Oooh baby, why did you treat me soooo mean
Yeah, you took my money and you took my car
And along with that you took my guitar
But you know what I'm gonna hunt you down
And take back all what's mine
So when you look in your rear-view mirror
It's me you'll see drivin' right behind you

Had a lotta money, had a lotta love
Had a lot to give you but that's all right
You took it all without a doubt
But baby watch out when I come around

Cruisin' with my baby down the road




Cruisin' with my baby down the road
Yeah

Overall Meaning

The Bluesbones's song Cruisin' is a classic blues-rock tune about a man and his woman cruising down the road together. The verses sing of the man's love for his partner and the joy of spending time with her. He acknowledges the fact that he has the money, love, and honey that he needs, and he wants to enjoy life to the fullest with her. The chorus "cruisin' with my baby down the road" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the theme of the song.


However, the second verse takes a different tone, as the man expresses his frustration with his woman, who has treated him poorly. She has taken his money, car, and even his guitar, and he plans to track her down and take back what is rightfully his. The contrast between the joyful cruising and the conflict that arises within the relationship creates a balance in the song.


Overall, Cruisin' is a powerful blues-rock anthem that tells a story of love, conflict, and the desire to live life to the fullest. The song's catchy melody, upbeat rhythm, and strong vocals make it a standout track in The Bluesbones's discography that will surely get listeners bopping along.

@eodnhoj8387

great band great
groove but i'm
disappointed at the
total lack of lead
guitar content...
for me that's what
good blues is all
about...keyboards like
saxophone are ok
as long as they don't
dominate the track...
like they did here...
my other big no-no
is drum solos which
generally speaking
bore me to tears 😭 ...
rock on guys!!🤘🎅🎸
