He’s passing on the torch to Lil Nas X to take over. Billy Ray finishes his verse with the line, “Wish I could roll on back to that Old Town Road / I wanna ride till I can’t no more.” Here, he’s telling us that he might be sick of fame and is ready to just chill out of the spotlight now. “Got no stress, I’ve been through all that / I’m like a Marlboro Man so I kick on back.” That line references the Marlboro Man, an iconic representation of a relaxed cowboy. He sings, “Hat down, cross town, livin’ like a rock star / Spent a lot of money on my brand-new guitar / Baby’s got a habit: diamond rings and Fendi sports bras / Ridin’ down Rodeo in my Maserati sports car.” There’s lots of name-dropping about expensive things, but hey, he’s a rock star, who can blame him? Billy Ray goes on to explain he has been through hardships in life and had to ride his own journey to success, like Lil Nas X. The beginning of Billy Ray Cyrus’s verse, on the other hand, is a huge flex on all our lives. Like, where is the Old Town Road? And why does Lil Nas X have a horse? Why was the song invoked in Lil Nas X’s controversial “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” backlash? What happened to his car? Check out our explainer below, and hopefully your (or mostly just my own) confusion is cleared up.Ĭolumbia Records And then Billy Ray Cyrus comes in.
#HOLD THE LINE LYRICS MEANING HOW TO#
But as for the verses themselves, they do not explain what these statements actually mean. Hold the line Love isnt always on time Hold the line Love isnt always on time Instrumental Break Verse 3 Its not in the words that you told me Its not in the way you say youre mine Its. I always thought the song explained the death of a spouse after birth and the child survives and left for him to take care of said child and baby hotline is kinda like any other hotline but maybe for single parents that have no clue what to do or how to raise a child the line 'hold me close to you' stands for most likely expresses what the man felt as he watched her leave so suddenly just. And he is telling her this because love is not always on time. This is the part of the song in which the singer tells the addressee, a romantic interest, to hold the line.
But the catchy hit is also super confusing. The title of this song is derived from its chorus. Since 2019, “Old Town Road” has completely blown up and even won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Music Video at the 2020 Grammys. The hip-hop/country crossover was a musical shock at first, but once it started gaining popularity, it never stopped. (Keep me from sinkin down) I look up yonder and what do I see (Keep me from sinkin down) I see the angels beckonin me. (Keep me from sinkin down) I mean to go to heaven too. Lil Nas X actually called the genre “ country trap,” but magical works too. Oh, my good Lord Keep me from sinkin down.
When Billy Ray Cyrus hopped on the track for a remix, two worlds collided and something that can only be described as *magical* was produced. Two years ago, most people didn’t even know who Lil Nas X was and Billy Ray was not the Cyrus we thought we wanted new music from. Through process of elimination, he’s trying to figure out what love is. According to David Paich, once he came up with the title, he started writing lines about what love isn’t: It’s not in the way you say you’re mine, It’s not in the way you say you care.
I don’t know anyone who hasn’t heard “Old Town Road” at this point. Most of this song’s lyrics start with the words, It’s not.
