Actually, catherinatwice, it's "Me, my pappy, and his lemonade." and "shot a rabbit from the backseat window."
Where do you get shut the bar to the exit window? :S
Anyways...
I believe this song is about their Father. In their music video, there are two old women walking around a big, deserted house. In every room they enter, there is a different scene. The two old women are supposed to be them. I think they are portrayed as so old because they are remembering memories so long ago. The first room they enter has two young children, which are also them, and a man in native clothing.
I did some reasearch, and it says that they are estranged from their Father, and when they were younger, they used to spend summers with him, listening to him talk about Native American Religion, because it really interested him. I think it exaplins that scene. It also explains the chorus of this song... it summarizes the summers they spent with him...
"Shot a rabbit from the back seat window
Sat and watched in the summer corn grow
Ate icecream in a desert dream
And got lost in Father's singing
Too hot inside to hot outside
Lazy days when you said just go for a ride
We'll sail on Spirit Lake,
Me, my pappy, and his lemonade"
