The father’s distraction from his own life is the lived-out sexual fantasy with their neighbor.

This line puts an unorthodox spin of a common theme used in music: infidelity. Many people can relate to the scenario of a husband being unfaithful to their significant other.

Shoutout to Hank Williams, one of the most significant country music artists and another one of Kacey Musgraves' musical influences. She mentioned him when talking in response to her critics calling her a “rebel”:

When Hank Williams sang about … cheating and heartbreak (i.e. “Your Cheating Heart“ […] he wasn’t being rebellious[;] he was being real.

For some young men, the distraction is marijuana (aka “Mary Jane”). Though marijuana isn’t as addictive as other drugs, he’s hooked on its mental effects, which include being less aware of the passage of time or the experience of some negative feelings. It’s a way to go numb.

Historically, reference to pot and other drugs has been somewhat taboo in country music despite the lyrical prevalence of other controlled substances such as tobacco and alcohol. That attitude may be softening, the potential for marijuana to become the new moonshine.

[Country’s] always going to be a pretty conservative genre, but maybe with a younger group of people [starting to embrace] country music, it [leads] to a bit of change, slowly. It’s no different from us talking about moonshine or whatever.

Willie Nelson, known by many as a “pothead prophet” for his marijuana advocacy, is one of Musgraves' musical inspirations.

She sees it as tradition in her community that if you aren’t settled down with a family by the age of 21, you’ll grow up without a partner and die alone. Indeed, marrying young is characteristic of less-educated, lower-income communities. It’s a circle of norms in the community driving behaviors, which in turn establish the norms.

This 2013 article by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics finds that the average age of first marriage for those without a high school diploma (22.7) is about four years younger than for those with a college degree (26.5). Notably, the divorce rate is also double for those with less education (58% vs 29%).

Bronson makes a sweet reference to a line earlier in the verse,

“Hoppin' out the Rover, parrot on my shoulder.”

While you’ve been led to believe that Bronson has been spitting all these lyrics, it’s actually been the parrot on his shoulder. Possibly mimicking Bronson’s ability.

“Brat-tat-tat-tat” is an onomatopoeia for the sound a gun makes. Bronson is saying you don’t want to mess with him, or else you’ll be shot down.

Urinating in public is an illegal act in every state of the U.S. which could result in very serious public lewdness or incident exposure crimes. Despite this, Lil' Dicky doesn’t mind going wherever he pleases.

Who did you think Dave Burd was? Just some nice, white upper middle-class American? He is.. but he’s also bad enough to take all the chocolate out of your Halloween bucket when you’re too lazy to serve it yourself.

His carry-on baggage is bigger than permissible, but Lil' Dicky doesn’t care! Keep your daughters away from this guy, he’s dangerous.

Drinking alcohol brings back many memories. In some cases good, and in some cases bad. Jake here is drinking with the intent of bring back memories.

This could also be a reference to the common practice of people drinking to remember an individual who was close to them in their life.

Alternatively, while Jake drinks alcohol to remember the past, he also smokes marijuana to forget about the present and the troubles within his current situation.

This line could also be a reference to a very famous quote by The Eagles from arguably their most famous song, “Hotel California”,

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
