There's a Girl
Trent Harmon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's with a guy she barely knows
Probably sell his soul for a kiss
There's a girl somewhere in Arkansas
Who's talking with a southern drawl
And a guy who can't stop staring at her lips
Why would we drive six hundred miles one way?
Blow through cash that we ain't made
Get tattoos
Wash our trucks
Push and press our luck
Why would we ask when we know we can't dance?
Show our hands
And change our plans
Lose our minds
Break our hearts
And learn to play guitar
Why does any man do anything in the whole damn world?
'Cause there's a girl
'Cause there's a girl
There's a girl somewhere with eyes so blue
You know a call just won't do
So here I am on highway forty-five
First girl to get me to ask myself how I'd be with anyone else
Any other minute of my life
Ain't it something how they get us doing something?
Why would we drive six hundred miles one way?
Blow through cash that we ain't made
Get tattoos
Wash our trucks
Push and press our luck
Why would we ask when we know we can't dance?
Show our hands
And change our plans
Lose our minds
Break our hearts
And learn to play guitar
Why does any man do anything in the whole damn world?
'Cause there's a girl
'Cause there's a girl
Ain't it crazy how they get us going crazy?
Why would we drive six hundred miles one way?
Blow through cash that we ain't made
Get tattoos
Wash our trucks
Push and press our luck
Why would we ask when we know we can't dance?
Show our hands
And change our plans
Lose our minds
Break our hearts
And learn to play guitar
Why does any man do anything in the whole damn world?
'Cause there's a girl
'Cause there's a girl
The song "There's A Girl" by Trent Harmon presents the idea of how love can make us do crazy things. The first two verses introduce two different girls from Tupelo and Arkansas, who are with men they barely know but who make them feel alive. The chorus asks why we would do things such as driving long distances, spending money we don't have, and change ourselves, all for a chance with someone we love. The final verse reveals that the singer himself is on the road, traveling to be with a girl he can't resist, even though he knows it's crazy.
The lyrics suggest that the power of love can make us irrational and reckless. It can make us want to take chances and do things out of character. The repetition of the phrase "Why would we" in the chorus highlights the irrationality and brings attention to how we act despite knowing better. Harmon's singing style, with its twangy Southern accent, compliments the lyrics' idea of a love that's uprooting and consuming.
Overall, "There's A Girl" is a simple yet captivating song that explores the universal experience of love leading us to act impulsively. Harmon's storytelling and performance make the listener feel as if they are on the same journey as the characters in the song.
