Sawyer Brown

Misheard lyrics (also called mondegreens) occur when people misunderstand the lyrics in a song. These are NOT intentional rephrasing of lyrics, which is called parody. For more information about the misheard lyrics available on this site, please read our FAQ.

This page contains a list of the songs that have stories about their misheard lyrics submitted.

Song names are sorted by first letter, excluding A and The. This is sorted by song title only, not by song title and performer. So if two different performers preformed the same song, you'll see misheard lyrics for both on the same page (provided the song title was spelt the same both times, and misheard lyrics have been submitted for both!).

Sawyer Brown's, "Some Girls Do"

The Misheard Lyrics:

I yelled and asked if you would like a ride
When we pulled out of your yard I borrowed a tie
or
I yelled and asked if you would like a ride
When we pulled out of your yard I balled a tie.

The Real Lyrics:

I yelled and asked if you would like a ride
When we pulled out of your yard I bald a tire.

The Story: I think the reason I misheard this for so long is because I'd never heard the phrase 'to bald a tire.' I know tires are called 'bald' when too much of the tread and/or rubber is worn away, but that's it. I never knew the term could also be a verb, as in 'I bald a tire.' The grammar doesn't even make sense! (Sorry, I'm a writer & editor by profession *grin*) I'm guessing the meaning of this term is that the guy sped out of the girl's yard so fast that the tires spun and he burned rubber? - Submitted by: Scary Shari
