Golden Land
Journey to the Golden Horizon: Alex Jordan's Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
Well my back is stiff and my legs are cramped
Physical discomfort from sitting for a long time
From sitting here in this great white van
Describing the setting inside a van
Down a hundred miles and more to go
Still a long distance to cover
Gonna climb that grade, gonna play that show
Anticipation of performing after reaching the destination
Well I'm rollin' on back through the Adirondack
Recalling a journey through Adirondack
Making my way o'er the Siskiyou pass
Passing through Siskiyou pass
Wandering the Wasatch, a song in my hand
Traveling through Wasatch with a song to accompany
Gonna make my way to the golden land
Determination to reach a desirable, metaphorical "golden land"
We've got seven souls on board this train
Number of individuals traveling together
On a wild ride through the mountain rain
Emphasizing an adventurous journey despite challenges
Ten-thousand feet up toward the sky
Traveling to a high altitude
You can count the towns as the hours go by
Passing through towns, marking the passage of time
Well I'm rollin' on back through the Adirondack
Revisiting the Adirondack in the journey
Making my way o'er the Siskiyou pass
Continuing through the Siskiyou pass
Wandering the Wasatch, a song in my hand
Reflecting on the journey while holding a song
Gonna make my way to the golden land
Reiterating the determination to reach the "golden land"
Well I'm not one to make a fuss about the places I've never been
Not focused on new places but contemplating the journey's impact
But as my dreams grow taller and the list gets smaller
As aspirations grow, wondering about the toll on personal growth
I wonder where the road will wear my thin
Contemplating the effects of the journey on oneself
Now Johnny D. is a friend of mine
Introducing a friend named Johnny D.
He cooks me food and he serves me wine
Describing Johnny D.'s hospitality with food and wine
He'll fix you up if you throw down
Willingness to help others in need
You'll wear his coat and he'll wear your crown
Reciprocal relationship where favors are exchanged
Well I'm rollin' on back through the Adirondack
Revisiting the journey through Adirondack again
Making my way o'er the Siskiyou pass
Continuing the journey over Siskiyou pass
Wandering the Wasatch, a song in my hand
Reflecting on the journey while holding a song
Gonna make my way to the golden land
Reaffirmation of the determination to reach the "golden land"
Make my way to the golden land
Emphasizing the resolve to reach the metaphorical destination
Make my way to the golden land
Reiteration of the resolve to reach the metaphorical destination
Gonna make my way to the golden land
Final determination to reach the metaphorical "golden land"
