Sawyer Brown’s ‘Some Girls Do’ is a catchy country tune that spins a tale of a down-to-earth, rough-around-the-edges guy trying to win over a girl who’s seemingly out of his league. It’s a classic country narrative of love and charm, with a dose of self-deprecating humor.
The song kicks off with the protagonist being snubbed by a girl, but catching the eye of another. He’s not a high-class guy, he’s got a wild streak, and he’s not afraid to admit it. He’s got a Cadillac, but he’s no James Dean. He’s just a regular guy, and he’s okay with that.
The chorus ‘Some girls don’t like boys like me, Aww, but some girls do’ is a celebration of individuality and the idea that there’s someone for everyone. It’s a message of hope for all the ‘good ol’ boys’ who don’t always get the breaks.
The line ‘I ain’t first class but I ain’t white trash’ is a colloquial way of saying he’s not rich, but he’s not poor either. He’s somewhere in the middle, just an average Joe.
The song ends on a high note, with the protagonist asserting that while he may not be everyone’s cup of tea, there are girls out there who appreciate a guy like him. It’s a testament to the diversity of tastes and preferences, and a reminder to stay true to oneself.
