Truck Stop Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hillybilly Country Lilly,
Tanz mit uns den Country Stomp!
Hillybilly Country Lilly,
Tanz den Hillybilly Country Stomp!

Lauft um Euer Leben, Leute,
Lauft, sonst seid Ihr alle dran.
Heute abend will sie tanzen,
Dazu braucht sie einen Mann.

Wenn sie tanzt, gibts keine Gnade,
Dann geht Lilly richtig ran.
Tanzt bis in den frühen Morgen
Hillybilly Country Stomp!

Hillybilly Country Lilly,
Tanz mit uns den Country Stomp!
Hillybilly Country Lilly,
Tanz den Hillybilly Country Stomp!

Joe versteckt sich unterm Tresen,
Da hat Lilly ihn gepackt:
Laß uns mal ein Tänzchen wagen,
Heute bring ich dich auf Trab!

Hoch das Bein und hoch die Tassen,
Endlich ist der Joe mal dran.
Heute nacht tanzt er mit Lilly
Hillybilly Country Stomp!

Hillybilly Country Lilly,
Tanz mit uns den Country Stomp!




Hillybilly Country Lilly,
Tanz den Hillybilly Country Stomp!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Truck Stop's song "Hillybilly Country Lilly" are a straightforward exhortation to dance the country stomp with the titular character of the song, Lilly. The song sets the scene in a truck stop or honky-tonk where Lilly is the queen of the dance floor. People are warned to run for their lives if they can't handle the heat, as Lilly won't show any mercy when she's dancing. The song describes Lilly as a woman who needs a man for her dancing, and when she finds one, they'll dance until the early hours of the morning. The second verse of the song talks about Joe, who tries to hide from Lilly as she makes her way around the dance floor. However, Lilly gets hold of him and decides to take him on as her dance partner, and the two of them dance the night away to the Hillybilly Country Stomp.


The song's lyrics are relatively simple, but they capture the energetic, lively atmosphere of a honky-tonk dance floor. The repeated refrain of "Hillybilly Country Lilly, Tanz mit uns den Country Stomp!" creates a sense of communal celebration, encouraging everyone to join in and dance with Lilly. The song's protagonist, Lilly, is depicted as a strong, independent woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it. The song's lyrics suggest that dancing is a liberating experience, a way for people to shed their inhibitions and truly let loose. The Hillybilly Country Stomp is a dance that everyone can do, regardless of their skill level, and the song's lyrics encourage everyone to let go and dance.
