And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal. Well she pressed her chest against me About the time the jukebox broke. Yeah she gave me a peck on the back of the neck And these are the words she spoke. [Chorus 1] Blow up your T.V.. Throw away your paper. Go to the country. Build you a home. Plant a little garden. Eat a lotta peaches. Try an find Jesus on your own. [Verse 2] Well I sat there at the table and I acted real naive. For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. Well she danced around the bar room and she did the hoochy-coo. Yeah she sang her song all night long tellin’ me what to do. [Chorus 2] Blow up your T.V. Throw away your paper. Go to the country. Build you a home. Plant a little garden. Eat a lot of peaches. Try an’ find Jesus on your own. [Solo] [Verse 3] Well I was young and hungry and about to leave that place. When just as I was leavin’ well she looked me in the face. I said "You must know the answer". She said "No but I’ll give it a try". And to this very day we’ve been livin’ our way. And here is the reason why. [Chorus 3] We blew up our T.V. Threw away our paper. Went to the country built us a home. Had a lot of children fed ’em on peaches. They all found Jesus on their own.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une rencontre entre deux personnes à un moment clé de leur vie. Elle raconte l'histoire d'une danseuse qui attire un soldat, tous deux cherchant une échappatoire à leur quotidien. À travers leurs échanges, elle lui propose de laisser de côté les distractions modernes pour se concentrer sur des choses simples et essentielles, comme bâtir un foyer, cultiver un jardin et trouver un sens spirituel par eux-mêmes. Leur chemin les mène à vivre une existence plus authentique, éloignée des pressions du monde contemporain. Cette pièce est ancrée dans les années 70, une période de contestation sociale et de recherche de sens, soulignant le désir de nombreuses personnes de se défaire des conventions et de renouer avec des valeurs plus humaines et naturelles.
