“McArthur” Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My name’s john mcarthur and I work this dirt
’til they lay me down in it in my one good shirt
I kept my family fed with a mule and a plow
I’m a whisper in the wind through the pine trees now
[Chorus]
And my bloodline, it bled on this ground
Soon we all find that’s where we’re bound
And bother times only for anyone else
When you pass on, what you gonna pass down?
[Verse 2]
I’m junior mcarthur and I join my old man
By weather put it and we head maine
Left behind my woman and my born angels
Never got to meet him but he’s carrying along
[Chorus]
My bloodline, that bled on this ground
Soon we all find that’s where we’re bound
And bother times only for anyone else
When you pass on, what you gonna pass down?
[Verse 3]
I’m jones mcarthur and I tried like hell
To teach my son what men don’t sell
But he came home from college seeing dollar signs
Didn’t wanna go to work, just wanted me to die
[Verse 4]
I’m honor mcarthur and the day looks good
And eighteen months is a big neighborhood
I got a million dollar line I could sign my name on
But there’s a whisper in the pines that’s telling me, “don’t”
[Chorus]
Saying my bloodline, it bled on this ground
Soon we all find that’s where we’re bound
And bother times only for anyone else
When you pass on, what you gonna pass down?
And when you pass on, what you gonna pass down?
Gonna pass down, gonna pass down
Gonna pass down
Meaning of ‘McArthur’ Lyrics Explained
Verse 1 Meaning:
John McArthur’s story shows a man tied to the land and his family. He works hard every day, knowing his life will end where he started, surrounded by the soil he’s tended. His pride comes from providing for his family, even with simple tools, and though he’s no longer alive, his presence lingers quietly, like a soft voice in nature.
Chorus Meaning:
The chorus reminds us that the struggles, sacrifices, and values of a family are passed along through generations. It asks listeners to think about what really matters to leave behind. Life is short, and sometimes the worries and stresses of others don’t matter. What lasts is what you pass down—your lessons, your work, and your spirit.
Verse 2 Meaning:
Junior McArthur follows his father’s footsteps, moving with him and carrying on the family’s legacy. Life takes him away from the people he loves, and he experiences loss before fully knowing some of those he should have met. Still, he carries his family’s history and strength forward, even without seeing every part of it.
Chorus Meaning:
The chorus repeats, emphasizing that each generation adds to the family story. Blood and effort are tied to the land, and everyone eventually faces the same cycle. What we leave behind shapes how others remember us, and this question of legacy is central to the family’s journey.
Verse 3 Meaning:
Jones McArthur struggles with teaching his son the values of hard work and integrity. He wants to pass down lessons that can’t be bought or sold, but his son is drawn to easy money instead. It shows how family traditions and principles can clash with modern desires, and how disappointment can come when those lessons are ignored.
Verse 4 Meaning:
Honor McArthur faces choices as opportunities arise. He has chances to make a lot of money quickly, but he feels a quiet warning from the family history and the land he knows. That whisper in the pines is a reminder to respect the values passed down, not just chase what seems easy or profitable.
Chorus Meaning:
The final chorus drives home the cycle of generations. Every choice, every sacrifice, and every lesson adds to the story of the family. It asks the listener to reflect on what they will contribute to the future, and what they will leave behind for the people who come after them.
