If French Fries Were Fat Free

Alan Jackson

Transposer:

INTRO Well I made a mess of my life Each time I went left I shoulda gone right. And love’s no exception to this rule ’Cos I turned around and I lost you. Now I’m feelin’ lonesome and blue Just the way I’d expect to. But there’s some things that I could use To help me deal with this abuse; If french fries were fat free And you still loved me. If french fries were fat free And you still loved me What a wonderful world this would be. If the whisky really helped me Forget your memory I’d wear a smile endlessly. If french fries were fat free And you still loved me. INSTRUMENTAL You know the more I think about it The more sense it makes. ’Cos grease and love both cause heartache. So I raise my glass in toast These things I want the most. Though I’ll probably never see it I can’t help but believe in that; If french fries were fat free And you still loved me What a wonderful world this would be. If the whisky really helped me Forget your memory I’d wear a smile endlessly. If french fries were fat free And you still loved me. Oh if french fries were fat free And you still loved me.

La chanson évoque les regrets d’un homme qui se sent perdu après avoir fait des choix dans sa vie qui l'ont conduit à la solitude, y compris dans ses relations amoureuses. Il se remémore une relation perdue, tout en exprimant un désir de simplicité et de bonheur. Il fait une comparaison entre la légèreté des frites sans gras et le bonheur d'être aimé, soulignant que les plaisirs simples de la vie semblent souvent complices de ses malheurs. Le contexte met en lumière un mélange d’auto-dérision et de nostalgie, où la compréhension de la douleur physique et émotionnelle se mêle à des envies d’évasion retrouvées dans des plaisirs coupables comme la nourriture ou l'alcool. Les images de la vie quotidienne renforcent l’idée que même les petites choses pourraient apporter une joie immense si seulement certaines conditions étaient remplies.
