Backseat Driver Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
7:30 in the morning in a Mickey D's drive-thru
Two muffins, one coffee, and a little bitty orange juice
I saw a man with a sign on the corner
I rolled my window down, handed him a dollar
That's when I heard her ask
"Hey, daddy, who was that?"
And before I could answer back
She said
[Chorus]
"Daddy, look, there's a plane in the sky
Are we there yet?
Did you just see that dog run by?
Do squirrels have houses in the trees?
Why'd God put stingers on honeybees?"
It's crazy all the things she sees on the side of the road
Out of that window beside her
I wish I could be more like her
My little dangling feet, pretty in pink, backseat driver
[Verse 2]
Later on that day, on the highway back home
I saw a lady in a black Mercedes yelling at her phone
She flew by me with her finger in the air
And I had to act like I didn't care
And that's when I heard her ask
"Daddy, why was she so mad?"
Before I could answer back
She said
[Chorus]
"Daddy, can you please turn up the radio?
Hey, what are you pushing with your feet that makes us go?
Do squirrels have houses in the trees?
Why'd God put stingers on honeybees?"
It's crazy all the things she sees on the side of the road
Out of that window beside her
I wish I could be more like her
My little dangling feet, pretty in pink, backseat driver
[Bridge]
One day, I'll look back and I'll miss when
My whole world wasn't over that dash
It was back there buckled in
[Chorus]
Saying, "Daddy, look, there's a plane in the sky"
Are we there yet?
Did you just see that dog run by?
Do squirrels have houses in the trees?
Why would God put a stinger on a honeybee?
It's crazy all the things she sees on the side of the road
Out of that window beside her
I wish I could be more like her
My little dangling feet, pretty in pink, backseat driver
Hmm, my backseat driver
[Outro]
7:30 in the morning in a Mickey D's drive-thru
Two muffins, one coffee, and a little bitty orange juice
[Verse 1: Kane Brown]
In this section, Kane Brown paints a picture of a simple morning scene at a drive-thru with his daughter. The daughter's questions show her childlike curiosity, asking about a man they see and showing empathy and innocence. The moment emphasizes the father's admiration for how his daughter views the world with such simplicity and kindness.
[Chorus: Kane Brown]
The chorus reflects the daughter's constant observations as they drive. She asks questions about the world around her—like planes, animals, and bees—highlighting her fascination with life's small details. This contrasts with the adult world, which often overlooks these things, and Kane Brown expresses his wish to be more like her, appreciating the world in such an innocent and uncomplicated way.
[Verse 2: Kane Brown]
In this verse, Brown continues the journey, encountering a woman angrily yelling on the phone. His daughter asks why the woman is upset, reflecting her innocence once again. This situation shows the stark contrast between the simplicity of the daughter's view and the stress and anger that adults often experience. The father is reminded of the purity of her perspective and how adults can learn from it.
[Bridge: Kane Brown]
The bridge reflects a bittersweet realization. Brown knows that one day his daughter will grow up, and these simple moments of her in the backseat will fade. He expresses a deep sense of nostalgia for a time when his world was filled with these small, precious moments, rather than being consumed by the pressures of adulthood.
[Chorus: Kane Brown]
The repetition of the chorus reinforces the daughter's innocent questions about life and nature. Kane Brown reiterates his desire to be more like her, captivated by the beauty and simplicity of the world around her. This final chorus emphasizes the theme of the song: a longing to return to a more innocent, carefree perspective, like that of his "backseat driver."
[Outro: Kane Brown]
The song closes with a return to the morning scene at the drive-thru, reinforcing the cyclical nature of these moments in daily life. It's a peaceful and reflective ending, showing that even in the most mundane moments, his daughter’s presence fills his world with wonder.
