Content

The narrator deals with frustrations, such as being flipped off in traffic on the highway and having to wait all afternoon at the dentist's office, by wishing that he were "on some beach, somewhere." The song's title is a double entendre, playing on a Southern United States dialectal form of the epithet "son of a bitch" ("som' bitch").^[1]
