Still Goin Down
Morgan Wallen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴The way I talk, I guess I got it from my pops
Product of some kneelin' down
In a town where the doors don't lock
And there's a million other people like me
From a scene a little more podunk than pop
I didn't choose being born in the sticks
And I'll be damned if I sound like something I ain't
For some folks a back road gets old But for me, it just can't

'Cause I'm from a small town, southern drawl crowd
We're sippin' clear, drinkin' beer on a Friday night
Every country girl got on her cut offs
Shakin' her hips, take a trip, buddy tell me I'm a liar
Still circle up big trucks around a fire
Still kickin' up some dust behind the tires
Call it cliché, but hey, just take it from me
It's still goin' down out in the country

Somewhere now, someone's out there
Sippin' on some hundred proof
Every day, a baby's born with some baby blues
A good ol' boy's got on his faded boots
Workin' a nine to five
I'm just another southern hell raiser
Ain't breakin' ground
Makin' sound for them drop-it-down tailgaters
But y'all, that's all I know to say
So if you think I'm full of it, ain't done it, check the resume

'Cause I'm from a small town, southern drawl crowd
We're sippin' clear, drinkin' beer on a Friday night
Every country girl got on her cut offs
Shakin' her hips, take a trip, buddy tell me I'm a liar
Still circle up big trucks around a fire
Still kickin' up some dust behind the tires
Call it cliché, but hey, just take it from me
It's still goin' down out in the country

'Cause I'm from a small town, southern drawl crowd
We're sippin' clear, drinkin' beer on a Friday night
Every country girl got on her cut offs
Shakin' her hips, take a trip, buddy tell me I'm a liar
Still circle up big trucks around a fire
Still kickin' up some dust behind the tires

Call it cliché, but hey, just take it from me
It's still goin' down out in the country


Overall Meaning

In "Still Goin Down" by Morgan Wallen, the artist reflects on his small-town upbringing and the influence it has on his life and music. He attributes the way he talks to his father, who likely taught him the regional southern drawl that is so prominent in the lyrics. Wallen claims that he is a product of the culture in which he was raised, kneeling down in a town where the doors don't lock, and he is just one of many people who share his background. He is from a rural area that is more podunk than pop, and he didn't choose to be born into that environment. Nevertheless, he takes pride in where he comes from and refuses to change who he is to fit anyone else's expectations.


Wallen celebrates the traditional southern activities that he and his fellow small-town residents enjoy. They drink clear liquor and beer, wear cutoff shorts, and gather around bonfires in their trucks. He admits that these pastimes may seem cliché to outsiders, but for him and his community, they are an essential part of life. He acknowledges that others may tire of "back roads," but for him, they will always be an integral part of his identity. Throughout the song, Wallen's pride in his small-town roots shines through, as does his commitment to remaining true to himself and his upbringing.
