On the Road
Wandering Souls: Angus & Julia Stone's On the Road
Lyrics
Hit up the bottle
Turning to alcohol
Scored us the finest herb
Obtained high-quality marijuana
Jumped aboard that rolling stone
Joined a transient, unpredictable lifestyle
Took to the sky like a bird
Embraced freedom and soared high
Now the wheels are in full spin
Life is in motion, actively engaged
We're off to play a thousand shows
Engaging in numerous performances
Took a drag, fell in a dream
Indulged in a drug-induced fantasy
Took to the sky like a crow
Freedom with a sense of darkness
She don't like it when I'm on the road
Partner disapproves of absence
She don't like it when I'm on the road
Reiteration of partner's disapproval
She don't like it when I'm on the road
Continued emphasis on partner's disapproval
She don't like it when I'm on the road
Repeating partner's aversion
Turn up the radio
Seeking distraction through music
Play 'A Horse With No Name'
Playing a song for escapism
Ten miles to the show
Rushing to reach a performance venue
We're running late in a running late game
Stressed by time constraints in a competitive industry
That road can burn through your heart
The road can emotionally strain and wear one down
Make you forget what you're doin' it for
Losing sight of the purpose due to the road's toll
But I'll keep walking through the dark
Resiliently pushing through challenges
I'll keep knowing at that door, yes I will
Persistently pursuing opportunities despite difficulties
She don't like it when I'm on the road
Repeated mention of partner's dissatisfaction
She don't like it when I'm on the road
Continued emphasis on partner's discontent
She don't like it when I'm on the road
Reiteration of partner's displeasure
She don't like it when I'm on the road
Repeating partner's discontentment
