I think I must have had a crush on Debby Boone at some point in my life. Of course, on a deeper level, Debby can be viewed as a metaphor for an escape from the pressures of everyday life. Yea, that's it! That's what the song is really about!
Lyrics
I got so much to do and only so much time in a day
I don’t know where I’m goin’ and the sky looks cloudy and gray
Well, the only time that I’m in tune
Is when I play my guitar and croon
A little song about the girl I love
Her name is Debbie Boone
My boss is sayin’ how I should be workin’ my butt off for him
My woman’s getting’ high on some grass and a bottle of gin
I think I’ll lock myself inside a room
And try and scratch out a simple tune
About the girl I really love
My sweetheart, Debbie Boone
Oh Debbie
How I really love you
Ooo I really love you
Please don’t let me down
I’m sleeping on the sidewalk
So I can get a front seat
The day you come to town
Well I’m sittin’ all alone and I’m dreamin’ about the day
We’ll be together all alone in some secret hideaway
I think I’ll get inside a big balloon
And I’ll fly up to the moon
And be together all alone
With my angel Debbie Boone
