Mechanical Bull Video (MV)




"Mechanical Bull" by Zach Bryan is a song that likely explores themes of risk, excitement, and the ups and downs of life.

The metaphor of a mechanical bull represents the unpredictable and often tumultuous nature of life. Just like riding a mechanical bull, life can be thrilling, but it also comes with its fair share of risks and challenges.

Mechanical bull rides are characterized by sudden movements and changes in direction, mirroring the emotional highs and lows that people experience in life. The song might reflect on these emotional swings and the resilience needed to navigate them.

Zach Bryan - Mechanical Bull Lyrics
Official




Took a few years to get here, brother
Greens are greener in the heat of summer
Calmness on this evenin' seems a drug
Graham and Lucas are havin' kids
While Steve's busy raising his
While I climb out a hole I never dug
Likely there's a spot twenty minutes or so
We used to get wasted ridin' rodeo
Now it's all mechanical bull

Are the old ways dead or livin' in my head?
There's a smile on a photo catchin' dust in your old apartment
Are the old ways dead or livin' in my head?
It's all veneer and up from here, so take a rest

So I'll set off runnin' like I said I's gonna and find another rodeo
I'm a mechanical bull, throw a quarter and watch me go
And I get a little sad in the evenings knowin' I'll never get a beatin'
Like bein' young and dumb again in this life's long rodeo
Maybe I'll move to Texas, let my soul grow bored and restless
And learn to rope and ride like Le Gros
Maybe I'll learn the mando' and to pick a banjo too
Ride all night on the highways like Two-Show

Are the old ways dead or livin' in my head?
There's a smile on a photo catchin' dust in your old apartment
Are the old ways dead or livin' in my head?
It's all veneer and up from here, so take a rest
It's all veneer and up from here, so take a rest
It's all veneer and up from here, so take a rest

Took a few years to get here, brother
Greens are greener in the heat of summer
Calmness on this evenin' seems a drug
