I got more love than anything else
But a Jezebel spirit gonna steal my health
Struck by the notion that it just might be
A method to the madness that i cannot see

Something for the freedom of a roughed-up soul
Forty-two years young is a little bit old
Boy named Sue sing a Tennessee tune
Got buffalo love living on the moon

[chorus]
Save this lady for me [x4]

Call me Alabama i'm a Seminole prize
Got time square hair and a bedroom eyes
Keystone cops and the billy bob chops
Gonna scare my kids gonna share my crops

Vampire blood and a baseball glove
Justa a little bit of what the girl is made of
National crash into the big lampoon
With a creature coming up from the black lagoon

[chorus]

Losing ground true sounds of liberty
The forest of the north might hold the key

Rocking to the rhythm of a ragtime band
Black flag wave on on my truck my man
Blasting for jones and the great unknowns
Got cheap cologne seventy-six trombones

Looking for the lady that won't be afraid
When heaven needs a hammer gotta get things made
I got more love than anything else
But a Jezebel spirit gonna steal my health

[chorus] [x2]

    General Comment:to me right now part of this song seems to be saying that there must be a reason for things happening the way that they are, he just cant see it yet. hence the "boy named sue" johnny cash reference. if you know the song, then you know that the boy named sue doesnt understand anything about his name until his dad named him that right before leaving his family, and to make sure that his son grew up strong, he gave him the name sue and forced him to grow strong throughout his life of torment.
    its all just saying, ""i dont know why i cant find that one person that i truly want to share everything with and stay with forever, but maybe there is a reason for it that i do not yet see. i have faith that itll happen, but its still damn frustrating""

    General Comment:It's 'Losing ground, true sounds of levity' not 'liberty'

    General Comment:This song, looks to me, is about America and it's grassroot values. Save this Lady: Lady=Lady Liberty. Forest of the north=undisovered country that Lewis and Clark ventured into. Look at all the iconic figures he uses that are American made.

    General Comment:awww i think this is definately about Anthony wanting to settle down now, with this song and the b-side from...i think it was snow "funny face" its certainly showing, that hes had enough with the one night stands, he wants a partner to live his life with.
