Plan B
Embracing Freedom: Bettye LaVette's Soulful Anthem of Liberation
Lyrics
Worn out, frazzled, taking too long
Feeling exhausted, worn out, and overwhelmed by the passage of time.
Same old words and the same old song
Expressing frustration with repetitive patterns in words and music.
Lookin for a man that used to live up here
Searching for a man from the past, possibly a memory or a lost connection.
I can still see him even though he disappeared
Despite his absence, the person is vividly remembered and still present in the mind.
Hangin by a string mumblin a prayer
Struggling, feeling fragile, and resorting to prayer with limited resources.
Mojo busted and I don't have a spare
Experiencing a loss of magical or supernatural power with no backup plan available.
Might be CRAZY but at least I'm free
Acknowledging a potential perception of eccentricity but emphasizing personal freedom.
That's why they love me, I got no plan B
Emphasizing the singer's uniqueness and refusal to have an alternative plan (Plan B).
Rhythm & Blues in the back of my mind
Referencing the genre of music that influences the singer's thoughts and emotions.
Champagne & reefer will do me just fine
Indulging in substances (champagne and reefer) for pleasure and relaxation.
Hey now Daddy we gonna ride all night?
Possibly inviting someone (Daddy) to join in a carefree and enjoyable night.
Better pull over, you seem a little tight
Suggesting caution or a need to slow down due to someone's tense or anxious state.
I ran out of ideas a long time ago
Admitting a lack of fresh ideas but maintaining perseverance, albeit at a slower pace.
Still goin hard, just a little bit slower
Continuing to live life energetically, albeit with a reduced intensity.
Movin and a groovin, but runnin out of steam
Moving and grooving, but energy levels are depleting.
I ain't worried it's all just a dream
Expressing a lack of worry, possibly considering life's challenges as unreal or transient.
I ain't worried...I'm free...that's why they love me...
Reiterating the lack of worry and emphasizing personal freedom.
I ain't worried...that's the way I like it
Expressing contentment with the current state of being, embracing a worry-free attitude.
