Clarksdale Blues
Wandering through the Clarksdale Blues: A Journey of Reflection and Change
Lyrics
I forgot where I was trying to go
I forgot my intended destination or purpose.
Like there never was a road
It seems there was never a clear path or direction.
What it was I was wanting to say
Uncertainty about expressing thoughts or feelings.
I guess they call it being afraid
This uncertainty might be due to fear.
You'd think I'd learn from my mistakes
Despite experiences, I don't seem to learn from errors.
But they just keep on going to waste
Mistakes continue without any improvement.
Same old song on a different day
Similar situations keep recurring.
You'd think I'd change
One might expect a change, but I remain the same.
But I keep on staying the same
Despite expectations, I persist in staying unchanged.
I got the Clarksdale Blues in the afternoon
Feeling melancholic or down in Clarksdale, possibly in the afternoon.
My traveling boots don't wanna move
My boots, usually used for traveling, seem reluctant to move.
But I'm spreading the news I'll be gone real soon
Despite this feeling, I'm informing others I'll depart soon.
Oh lord, I got the Clarksdale Blues
Expressing sorrow or distress with the Clarksdale Blues.
Sometimes it's time for moving on
Occasionally, it's necessary to move forward despite emotions.
Though the feeling's still so strong
The emotional attachment or feeling remains strong.
Today's one of those days
Today specifically, it's hard to leave.
I don't wanna tear myself away
Reluctance or resistance to part from something.
You've been on my mind so long
You've been on my mind for a considerable time.
I can't see where we go long
I'm unable to predict our future.
I need to clear my head and rewind
Feeling the need to clear thoughts and start anew.
I need to find that road and leave this all behind
Desire to discover the right path and leave everything behind.
Oh lord I got the Clarksdale Blues
Reiterating the feeling of having the Clarksdale Blues.
