Maynard
Wormy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just called me to tell me the car is done
Said it just needed some flanges
Well I don't know what a flange is so why do I need one
He said he drove his 2000 Toyota Camry
All the way out here
And he's trying just to get back to his family
Keep the windows open when you drive
So the exhaust won't leak inside
We snuck whiskey into the casino
I don't know why though cause drinks are free in there
And then we argued about the Beatles
And drank from bottles by the fountain in the square
Keep the windows open while you drive
So the exhaust won't leak inside
Maynard called me on our way back into Jersey
Just to check in and make sure the car is fine
And then I asked him what a flange is and how to manage
To take care of what is mine
Keep the windows open while you drive
So the exhaust won't leak inside
Keep the windows open while you drive
So the exhaust won't leak inside
(that's it)
Wormy's song "Maynard" tells the story of a phone call from an auto mechanic, Maynard from Meineke, who informs the singer that his car is fixed and just needed some "flanges". However, the singer is unaware of what a flange is and why he needs one, revealing his lack of knowledge in car mechanics. Maynard is portrayed as a hardworking man who drove his 2000 Toyota Camry all the way to the singer's location. He is trying to get back to his family, but is facing financial difficulties. The song also touches upon the importance of keeping the windows open while driving in order to prevent exhaust from leaking inside the car.
The second half of the song takes a different turn and talks about sneaking whiskey into a casino and the singer arguing with their friends about the Beatles. They eventually end up drinking from bottles by the fountain in the square. The song concludes with Maynard checking in to see if the car is fine and the singer asking him what a flange is and how to take care of their car.
Overall, "Maynard" tells a story of the struggles of blue-collar workers and their commitment to providing for their families while also highlighting the singer's lack of mechanical knowledge. It also touches upon the joy of spending time with friends and reveals a desire to take better care of one's possessions.
