Left Hand Free Lyrics

Ain't shady, baby, I'm hot like the prodigal son
Pick a petal, eenie meenie miney moe
And, flower, you're the chosen one

Well, your left hand's free
And your right's in a grip
With another left hand
Watch his right hand slip
Towards his gun, oh, no (oh)

I tackle, we tussle and, oh my days, we're rolling
My right hand's gripped on his Colt single-action army, oh no

Well, your left hand's free
And your right's in a grip
With another left hand
Watch his right hand slip
Towards his gun, oh, no (oh)

N-E-O, O-M-G, gee whiz
Girl, you're the one for me
Though your man's bigger than I am
Oh my days, he disagrees, oh, no (oh, speak easy)

Well, my left hand's free (oh)
Well, my left hand's free (oh)
Well, my left hand's free (oh), oh no

Ain't shady, baby, I'm hot like the prodigal son
Pick a petal, eenie meenie miney moe
And, flower, you're the chosen one

Well, your left hand's free (oh)
Well, my left hand's free (oh)
Well, my left hand's free (oh)
Well, my left hand's free (oh)
Well, my left hand's free (oh) oh, no

What is the Meaning of Left Hand Free?

Welcome to the wild, wild west - alt-J style. This song is a sly nod to classic American westerns with its gun-slinging imagery and playful bravado. The "left hand free" could symbolize the singer's readiness for action or adventure, while his competitor's hand "slips towards his gun". There's also a dash of romantic rivalry thrown into the mix, with our protagonist vying for a lady's affection against her larger beau. But it isn't all tumbleweeds and cowboy boots; there's an undercurrent of modernity in the lyrics (N-E-O, O-M-G), hinting at how traditional roles and expectations are being challenged. So saddle up and enjoy this offbeat ride through love, competition, and daring escapades! #ModernDayCowboy #LoveTriangle #ChallengingTraditions
