In the song "Just Playin' Possum" by Alan Jackson, the narrator is going through a tough time after a breakup and decides to hide away from the world by playing possum. He parks his car out of sight, keeps his shades drawn, and tells everyone he's leaving town, but in reality, he's just wallowing in his sadness. He listens to George Jones, a country music icon known for his traditional and emotional songs about heartbreak, while drowning his sorrows in alcohol. The lyrics suggest that the narrator is not ready to face the world yet, and he wants to be left alone to deal with his pain. Overall, the song is about the struggle to cope with heartbreak and finding solace in music.
