Wide Open Spaces
Journey through Wide Open Spaces
Lyrics
From cafe to coffee house
Transitioning from one type of venue (cafe) to another (coffee house).
The pay is not too bad
The compensation for performing is reasonably good.
If you play a guitar
Indicating that playing the guitar is a valuable skill in this context.
Or can carry a tune
Being able to carry a tune is also a beneficial skill for a performer.
You'll get by
Emphasizing the ability to succeed or survive in this environment.
And there's an open stage
There's a performance opportunity available to aspiring artists.
That you can catch at noon
This stage is accessible around noon for performances.
Some folks claim it's not enough
Some people think that performing for a small audience is insufficient.
To be heard by so few
Expressing the challenge of being heard by a limited number of people.
But the size of the crowd
The size of the audience doesn't affect the authenticity of the music.
Doesn't change how you sound
Authenticity remains consistent regardless of crowd size.
When it's real
Realness is a crucial aspect of the music.
And with a cloud of dust
Symbolizing a spirited departure with energy and enthusiasm.
I'm kicking up my heels
A metaphorical expression of enthusiasm or excitement.
Riding off into the sunset
Embarking on a journey towards the horizon.
The painted desert on display
Describing the scenic beauty of the landscape with a painted desert.
Lavender and sand dune
Mentioning specific colors in the sky and land.
Salmon, coral sky
Continuing to depict the vibrant colors of the surroundings.
I'll be blazing a trail
Committing to forging a path through life until the end.
Til the day that I die
A pledge to continue pursuing one's goals passionately.
Crescent moon, a crested butte
Describing natural elements like a crescent moon and a crested butte.
A fertile waterhole
Referencing a fertile and nourishing water source.
It's a wide open space
Highlighting the vast and unobstructed space in the environment.
Out there under the stars
Connecting the openness of space to the celestial bodies.
In the sky
Reiterating the vastness and beauty of the sky.
And like a tumbleweed
Comparing oneself to a tumbleweed, symbolizing a nomadic and free-spirited existence.
I'm rolling right on by
Continuing the metaphor of rolling through life without hindrance.
