Yeah
Uncle Kracker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I might walk a little funny, but my walk is me
I might stutter when I talk, but I say what I see
I don't agree with every other little thing that's proven
I do a lot of things that I shouldn't be doin
I'll ruin everything you might have had in mind
I'm a consistent, belligerent, solidified find
Rhinestone freak, suburban star
I ain't got no money and I got no car
I might make par if it don't take much
See I don't ride very far cause I ride on luck
I stay stuck in a rut like I should
And I do it for the love of everything that's still good

I don't know why I come here
But I know I'll never leave
It's the only place I want to be yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't know why I come here
But I know I'll never leave
It's the only place I want to be yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm a long way gone but I ain't short lived
I got deep deep pockets that leak like a civ
I give 110 throughout the course of a night
And if I don't go home then I did things right
I'd like to settle down but I ain't that guy
'Cause everything I ever did I always did on the fly
I like to ride the wave till the tide don't swell
I don't like cocaine but I like the smell
I dwell in a place you might not see unfit
But there ain't nothing you can say to make me give a shit
I stay pretty stuck in rut like I should
And do it for the love of everything that's still good

I don't know why I come here
But I know I'll never leave
It's the only place I want to be yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't know why I come here
But I know I'll never leave
It's the only place I want to be yeah, yeah, yeah

I'd like to say that I don't do them bars
But my street called straight don't stretch to far uh huh
I'm on the move goin nowhere fast
And you can tell the whole world they can kiss my ass
I'll take a pass be the last in line
And if it takes 10 years the I'm a be just fine
I saw the signs in the grass ain't green
I found love at the bottom of the bottle of Beam
See comin' clean just seemed so jaded
And bein' underrated is underrated, but I don't hate it
I stay stuck in a rut like I should
You know I do it for the love of everything that's still good
I don't know why I come here
But I know I'll never leave
It's the only place I want to be yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't know why I come here
But I know I'll never leave
It's the only place I want to be yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't know why I come here
But I know I'll never leave
I don't know why I come here
But I know I'll never leave
I don't know why I come here
But I know I'll never leave




It's the only place I want to be yeah, yeah, yeah
It's the only place I want to be yeah, yeah, yeah

He actually sang this song last night at a concert I went to a OMG now it's one of many of his that's my new fave. He's absolutely amazing in concert and so sweet.

@saintaugustus3036

Hey! Just wanna know how big was the concert?

@robertwittjr1198

shanghai noon was the first movie i went to with ex wife #2.
bought it on dvd when it was released and my kids found this in the menu - and played it so much i began to hate it.
flash forward 20+ years and, as much as it pains me, this takes me back.
but now i smile because i remember my kids dancing to this and wife #2 telling me again how she thought i picked a strange movie for us to see, but it wasn't so bad.
that's my view on this now;
it wasn't so bad.

@tjc6596

I love this song. I heard it on a local radiostation. I was not sure who sang it but I was 99% positive it was Kid Rock. Come to find out, it is Uncle Kracker rapping and Kid Rock singing chorus with Uncle Kracker. Uncle Kracker sounds just like Kid Rock while he raps in this song.

@haviergomez2938
