Brisco '22
On the Open Road: A Journey of Regret and Redemption
Lyrics
I'll get in and put the seat back
Preparing to start the journey by adjusting the car's seat
Adjust the mirrors and the head rest
Adjusting the mirrors and headrest for a comfortable drive
Then I'll speed away, through the corner to the straightaway
Driving swiftly from turns to straight stretches
I'm going away and I won't be seen for days
Leaving for a prolonged period without being visible
I hit the road about an hour ago
Recently embarked on the journey
From a town where I'm a local
Originating from a place where one is well-known
I'm in the scenery
Surrounded by natural beauty and landscapes
It's the fall and there's changing leaves
Describing the season of autumn with leaves changing colors
Some are down and they're blowing across the road
Observing fallen leaves blowing across the road
I'm headed for the coast
Heading towards the coastline
Only stopping for fuel
Planning to stop only for refueling purposes
I just passed Brisco
Just passed a place called Brisco
And I'll be at the ocean soon
Anticipating arrival at the ocean shortly
My guitar is in the backseat
Guitar is located in the backseat of the vehicle
I got a cup of coffee and a bag of weed
Having a cup of coffee and possession of marijuana
And I see the way I should have left and I'm the one to blame
Regretting the way of departure and acknowledging self-blame
Now I will always chase the one that got away
Continuously pursuing something lost or unattainable
I'm headed for the coast
Still on the route towards the coastline
Only stopping for fuel
Planning to stop solely for fueling purposes
I just passed Brisco
Recently passed by the location named Brisco
And I'll be at the ocean soon
Expecting imminent arrival at the ocean
Made the final descent and there's an hour to go
Approaching the final phase of the journey with an hour remaining
I saw that the Coquihalla river was low
Noticing a decrease in the Coquihalla river's water level
Now it's green again
Observing the return of greenery after leaving the mountainous region
We left the colours in the mountains
Leaving behind the vibrant colors of the mountainous area
It's not my home but it's got some one I know
Referring to a place that's not home but holds someone familiar
I'm headed for the coast
Continuing the journey towards the coastline
Only stopping for fuel
Intending to stop exclusively for refueling
I'm way passed Brisco
Having passed Brisco a considerable distance ago
And I'll be at the ocean soon
Expecting arrival at the ocean shortly after passing Brisco
I'm way passed Brisco
Reiteration of having passed Brisco
And I'll be at the ocean soon
Anticipating imminent arrival at the ocean after passing Brisco
