There’s only one way to measure
The ways that your treasure
Becomes the way to our pleasure
You don’t know how
the times have changed
and I’ve never seen how
my wandrin waned
but I can’t help drown the days in vain in bed
while tunnels just house the trains all day
and I oughto start ridin all the way in stead
but it’s just one way to measure
the way that my leisure
comes from the pain that lays here like lead
you’ve been my girl
where do I sign up again
but my laundry’s getting done and
the lords wont let me stop runnin
I just don’t feel
Whats so different here
And I wont ever kneel
Out of lonely fear
But I can’t always keep out in light or in swell
There are streets dark with sighs outside
And I found out how to write out the night
So nows a time so long comin
There’s laundry to be brung in
And I wont stop till I’ve been well served and fed
You’ve been my girl
Why shouldn’t I leave you again
You’ve been my girl
Where shall we come from again

If the "what" refers to the piece, I'd say it's fairly clear what it's about.
If it refers to my deleted comment, I posted a (what I thought was funny) comment viscerally (as I normally do) then realized it could be a fairly personal message or lament and that maybe some regretful lover used Key Change as a message board for public apologies to their lost beloved which, if so, made that original (and possibly this) comment inappropriate.
But now that it's all out in the open (or not)...
of course the audience reserves the final right to interpret the piece, but in my mind its meaning is more ambivalent (or at least general) than that. it's a country song after all.
distressing is that as i post this comment, the board asks me to sign in. i assume that happens to all would-be commentators. can we change the settings so non-bloggers can comment too without being anonymous?
it could be about a girl, or the "girl" could be a place to live, or whatever you want
the words do say "girl"
whatever you want man
same as always
