Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drinking cold beer out of papaer sacks
Loving them girls
Chasing the squirrles
Welcome all of yall to a country boys world
Lawd how mercy yall so thirsty
Hope yaslll thirsty
Lets get drunk and dance a jig
Welcome all of yall to the shindog
Head out to the field about a
Quarter to 10 see all the lac boys and
A couple of friends
We got 17 kegs and we ready to drank
And got big speakers steady cranking the Hank
Got my truck in the field with mud grips
Trying to sit with this chick
We got jimmey and Magraw haging up the phone
Cause we bought to have a field party 10 miles long
Shine dig party tonite we gonna rock this town
Till the morning light
Tell the folks chill out they aint nothing wrong
Aint gonna stop the show till the cows come home
Shine dig party tonite we gonna rock this town
Till the morning light
Tell the folks chill out they aint nothing wrong

The lyrics to The Lacs feat. Colt Ford's song Shindig celebrate the freewheeling, hedonistic lifestyle of country boys enjoying a massive party in a field. The song is essentially an invitation to come and join in the revelry: "Welcome all of y'all to a country boy's world... Let's get drunk and dance a jig." The lyrics suggest that attendees of the "Shindig" are primarily focused on drinking, flirting with girls, and having a good time, with little else to worry about. The chorus of the song repeats that there is nothing wrong with what's going on, and that the party won't stop until the cows come home.
The lyrics to Shindig are somewhat controversial, as they glorify reckless behavior and possibly illegal activities, like drinking in public and driving under the influence. Additionally, the song could be seen as reinforcing stereotypes about rural Americans as being backward and unsophisticated. However, one could also interpret the song as a celebration of the joys of simple pleasures and profound connection to nature that can be found in rural life.
Overall, Shindig is a catchy party anthem that celebrates the distinctive culture of country boys and invites listeners to come and join in the fun.
