Me, My Old Man and Steely Dan
Nostalgic Harmony: A Journey Through Time with Me, My Old Man, and Steely Dan
Lyrics
I remember drivin' down a back road, With a mapsco and holdin his hand
I have a memory of driving down a back road with a mapsco (map) and holding my father's hand.
I was just a little boy when he switched to that Ol' CD, I fell in love with the tunes it would play
As a little boy, my father switched to an old CD, and I developed a love for the music it played.
At eight years old I was singin' songs from older year's
At the age of eight, I started singing songs from previous years.
And to me and him it was joy to our ears
Both my father and I found joy in these songs.
Like "Deacon Blues", "My Old School", and "Reelin' In The Years"
The songs mentioned are "Deacon Blues," "My Old School," and "Reelin' In The Years."
Just Me, My Old Man, and Steely Dan
These memories involve only me, my old man (father), and the music of Steely Dan.
Time goes by, memories pass on, and the real world comes into play
Time passes, memories fade, and the challenges of the real world become apparent.
Like a sailor lost at sea, I forgot who I could be, then those good times bring me back home
Like a sailor lost at sea, I lose sight of who I am, but the good times bring me back home.
At 23 I'm still singin' songs from older years
At 23, I still sing songs from the past.
When he hears me play them it's joy to his ears
When my father hears me play these songs, it brings him joy.
Like "Deacon Blues", "My Old School", and "Reelin' In The Years"
The mentioned songs are still "Deacon Blues," "My Old School," and "Reelin' In The Years."
Just Me, My Old Man, and Steely Dan
Similar to the past, it's just me, my old man, and the music of Steely Dan.
The danger on the rocks, still ain't past
Despite the passage of time, there are still challenges ("danger on the rocks").
When there's demons at your door just let em pass
Facing difficulties, it's advised to let negative influences pass by.
And as I gaze through the glass
Gazing through a metaphorical glass, the narrator cherishes the times they had.
I'll love all the times that we had
The narrator expresses love for all the past experiences.
Just Me, My Old Man, and Steely Dan
Similar to before, it's just me, my old man, and the music of Steely Dan.
Just Me, My Old Man, and Steely Dan
Reiteration of the close bond between the narrator, their father, and the music of Steely Dan.
