Long Gone Time
Chasing Shadows: A Journey Through Darkness and Dreams
Lyrics
One more ride through the darkness
Expressing a desire for one more journey through challenges and uncertainties.
I'm looking for the other side
Seeking an understanding or resolution on the other side of a difficult situation.
One more ride through the darkness
Reiteration of the quest for answers or clarity in the midst of darkness.
I'm looking for the other side
Continuing the search for meaning or purpose beyond the shadows.
Stumblin around like I've always done
Navigating life with a sense of stumbling, possibly facing challenges or uncertainties.
Just trying to walk that line
Struggling to maintain balance while attempting to follow a challenging path.
A Waylon tune in a smoky barroom
Referencing a specific song by Waylon Jennings in a setting of a smoky barroom.
Begging Mama for another dime

Sometimes the words come out wrong

The lines on the page match the lines on my face
Drawing a parallel between the lines on a page and the experiences reflected on a person's face.
They've all got a story to tell
