Put it down
by Ash
Lyrics
[Verse 1 - twangy acoustic guitar strums, playful female vocals with a sassy Southern drawl, light banjo picking]
Woke up this mornin', half asleep in the dark
Reached for the throne, but I missed my mark
Splash went the water, right down to my knees
Honey, this ain't how I planned my mornin' ease
[Pre-Chorus - building fiddle riff, foot-stompin' rhythm, cheeky vocal ad-libs like "Oh darlin'!"]
I've asked ya nicely, even begged on my knees
But every dang time, it's the same old tease
[Chorus - upbeat full band kick-in, driving upright bass, harmonious barroom sing-along vocals, handclaps and whoops]
You left that seat up again, you big ol' fool
Got me yellin' from the bathroom like a lovesick ghoul
Darlin', it's simple, just flip it right down
Or I'll make ya sleep with the dogs in the barn tonight!
Seat up, seat down, get it right or get out!
[Verse 2 - bouncy mandolin rolls, sassy storytelling vocals with a wink, subtle steel guitar slides]
Last night we danced under them neon lights
You were sweet as cornbread, holdin' me tight
But come bathroom break, you're forgettin' your trainin'
I'm slippin' and slidin', my patience is drainin'
[Pre-Chorus - rising pedal steel whine, playful scatting, crowd-hype energy building]
I've left ya notes on the mirror so clear
But you're blind as a bat when that beer's in your ear
[Chorus - explosive hoedown energy, full pedal steel swells, layered group harmonies, rowdy bar cheers]
You left that seat up again, you big ol' fool
Got me yellin' from the bathroom like a lovesick ghoul
Darlin', it's simple, just flip it right down
Or I'll make ya sleep with the dogs in the barn tonight!
Seat up, seat down, get it right or get out!
[Bridge - stripped-back acoustic picking, vulnerable-then-sassy vocal shift, slow build with harmonica sigh]
Maybe I'm naggin', maybe it's small
But one little lift and I'd love ya through it all
Just do it for me, or face my wrath...
[Outro Chorus - fading hoedown jam, reverb on laughter-filled vocals, final banjo flourish and boot-stomps]
You left that seat up... (whoop!) one more time, fool!
Flip it down, baby... or hit the road, mule!
Seat up... seat down... get it right! (Yee-haw!)
