Turn It On, Turn It Up, Turn Me Loose Lyrics

Well I'm back again for another night
Of trying to break free from the sadness
That I can't lay to rest
This old honky tonk sure does feel like home
And the music with the laughter seem to soothe my loneliness

Turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
From her memories driving me lonely, crazy and blue
It helps me to forget her so the louder the better
Hey mister turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose

Now if a tear should fall if I should whisper her name
To some stranger I'm holdin'
while we're dancin' to an old Buck Owen's song
I know she won't mind she won't even know
She'll be dancing with a memory crying teardrops of her own

Turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
From her memories driving me lonely, crazy and blue
It helps me to forget her so the louder the better
Hey mister turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose

Turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
From her memories driving me lonely, crazy and blue
It helps me to forget her so the louder the better
Hey mister turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
Hey mister turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose

What is the Meaning of Turn It On, Turn It Up, Turn Me Loose?

Dwight Yoakam delivers a poignant narrative of heartache and escapism in this emotionally charged country ballad. The protagonist frequents honky-tonks, seeking solace in the loud music and the laughter, which momentarily ease his suffering and longing for a lost love. Through the refrain, "Turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose," he beseeches the DJ to amplify the music, as its volume helps drown out the haunting memories and offers a fleeting reprieve from his enduring sadness. The dance floor becomes a refuge where he can momentarily forget, even if it means shedding tears or whispering her name to strangers. This lyrical composition resonates deeply with listeners who have experienced the turmoil of a broken heart. #Heartache #Escapism
