Doggonit Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
Well, my head's been hurtin', my back's been achin'
The water's dryin' up, there's a war in the makin'
People eatin' bugs 'cause they won't eat bacon
Doggonit
[Verse 2]
There's needles in the streets, folks hardly survivin'
On sidewalks next to highways full of cars self-drivin'
The poor keep hurtin' and the rich keep thrivin'
Doggonit
[Chorus]
But there's a little town somewhere
The only thing you hear at night
Is that old mill hummin'
The only time traffic backs up
Is when that old sweet Norfolk Southern
Train's a-hummin'
With me and a doggonit
Just me and a doggonit
[Verse 3]
Now peoples cryin' 'bout burning coal, but not the poor souls who's-a digging it
I reckon there's been a-many good man in the grave tryin' to keep our houses lit
From down in the oil fields and the pipelines and the linemen and the coal mines
So we can sit at home and plug in our newfangled bullshit
And Republicans and Democrats, Lord, I swear they're all just full of crap
I ain't never seen a good city-slickin' bureaucrat
[Chorus]
But there's a little town somewhere
The only thing you hear at night
Is that old mill hummin'
The only time traffic backs up
Is when that old sweet Norfolk Southern
Train's a-hummin'
With me and a doggonit
Just me and a doggonit
[Outro]
Well, my head's been hurtin', my back's been achin'
The water's dryin' up, there's a war in the makin'
People eatin' bugs 'cause they won't eat bacon
Doggonit
[Verse 1]
Oliver Anthony opens the song by highlighting his physical pain and the dire state of the world around him. He mentions the scarcity of water and the impending conflict, suggesting a deteriorating environment and escalating tensions. The line about people eating bugs instead of bacon underscores the extreme measures some are resorting to in the face of food scarcity.
[Verse 2]
Anthony continues by describing the harsh realities of urban life, with drug use rampant and people barely surviving. The mention of self-driving cars next to the struggling people paints a stark contrast between technological advancement and human suffering. He criticizes the growing divide between the rich and the poor, emphasizing the ongoing social and economic inequalities.
[Chorus]
In the chorus, Anthony contrasts the grim realities with an idyllic vision of a small town where life is simple and peaceful. The only sounds at night are the humming of an old mill and a train, symbolizing a slower, more connected way of life. This small-town imagery serves as a refuge from the chaos and hardships described in the verses.
[Verse 3]
Anthony addresses the overlooked struggles of workers in the coal, oil, and other essential industries. He laments that while people protest the use of coal, they forget the hard work and sacrifices of those who extract it. He criticizes both political parties, suggesting that politicians are out of touch with the realities faced by ordinary people, especially those in manual labor.
[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, reinforcing the theme of yearning for a simpler, quieter life away from the harsh realities of modern existence. The mention of the train and the mill once again evokes a sense of nostalgia and longing for stability.
[Outro]
In the outro, Anthony repeats the initial imagery of physical pain and a world on the brink of disaster. The recurring line about people eating bugs instead of bacon emphasizes the desperation and drastic changes people are enduring. This repetition ties the song together, highlighting the ongoing struggles and the yearning for a better, simpler life.
