Born Again
big rich Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I been making little babies, I been writing big songs
Come and kiss me, yeah it's been too long
Since we tore a town down like King Kong
A lot of young guns try to fill these boots
They want the green without the black and blue
They don't understand and this ain't just talking
Born again
Yes I'm born again
I'll be white knuckle gripping when I spit in the wind
Riding high in the saddle with a six string (shit eating) grin
I'm born again
I been born again
Another headline, yeah we're back in the news
Hillbilly Jedis with attitude
We come to raise the roof in your backyard
We put the lightning back in a jar
Your witnessing the evolution of a country revolution
It's a congregation for the melody
All you country sons and daughters
Get down in the dirty water
Make you holler, make you set it free
Say, born again
The song "Born Again" by Big & Rich is an anthem of resurgence and rebirth. The lyrics speak of the band's renewed sense of purpose and energy after a hiatus, during which they focused on their personal lives and songwriting. The opening lines of the song, "Did you miss me, well I ain't been gone, I been making little babies, I been writing big songs," indicate that the band members become more involved in their personal lives, but never lose their passion for music.
The lyrics also touch on the challenges of being in the music industry, particularly the pressure to constantly produce hits and stay relevant. The lines "A lot of young guns try to fill these boots, they want the green without the black and blue, they don't understand and this ain't just talking, I've been a dead man walking" suggest that Big & Rich have faced competition from younger artists who lack the experience and grit required to succeed in the industry. However, the band members assert their authority by proclaiming themselves "born again" and ready to take on any challenges that come their way.
Overall, "Born Again" is a song about resilience, perseverance, and the joy of making music. Its catchy melody and powerful lyrics make it a popular anthem among country music fans.
