“Happy Alone” talks about sex, like many of Youth & Young Manhood songs. The Followill’s were pretty young at the time—Caleb was 21, Jared was 17, Nathan was 24, Matthew was 19—so, it was common to them to think about it. The song is a mixture of blues, southern and garage rock, and it didn’t re...
[Verse 1]
On our way, so it seems
Bloomin' flowers waltz before me
Rollin' numbers, passin' time
Got to get outside the city
In the morning, all will see
Just how crazy young love can be
On our own, away again
Don't get down, my darling
[Chorus]
I'm gon' tangle my face hair, I'm gon' tickle your daughter
Three o'clock in the morning, they all cry to me
I'll be prancin' around in my high heels and your cherry red lipstick
Look out your window, I'm on your street
[Verse 2]
Miles away, so unclear
Almost lost it in Montana
Let's pull over, have us choke
I love to watch you when you're dancing
I wonder if they ever dreamed
They would get just what we gave them
All wrapped up in being nineteen
Chasing stars that are falling
[Chorus]
Gon' tangle my face hair, gonna tickle your daughter
Three o'clock in the morning, they all cry to me
I'll be prancin' around in my high heels and your cherry red lipstick
Look out your window 'cause that's where I'll be, c'mon, Caleb! Ow!
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
And when that train heads home
They're gonna be so gone, gone
You ain't never gonna see me no more
Gone, gone, you ain't nothin' to me
And when they shine them streets
They'll only find our song
[Chorus]
I'm gon' tangle my face hair, I'm gon' tickle your daughter
Three o'clock in the morning, they all cry to me
I'll be prancin' around in my high heels and your cherry red lipstick
Look out your window 'cause that's where I'll be
I'm gon' tangle my face hair, gon' tickle your daughter
Three o'clock in the morning, they all cry to me
I'll be prancin' around in my high heels and your cherry red lipstick
Look out your window 'cause that's where I'll be, c'mon, Caleb, Caleb, Caleb, Caleb, Caleb!
[Post-Chorus]
I'm on your street, they all cry to me
I'm on your street, they all cry to me
I'm on your street, they all cry to me
I'm on your street, they all cry to me
I'm on your—
[Outro]
I'm on your street, they all cry to me
I'm on your street, they all cry to me
