Rolling Log Blues
Drifting Blues: A Weary Journey Through Life's Heavy Load
Lyrics
We are drifting and rolling along the road
We are moving aimlessly and progressing along the journey.
Tryin' to bear my heavy load
Attempting to endure a significant burden or challenge.
Like a log that's been passed on the side
Comparing oneself to a log discarded at the side, feeling heavy and exhausted.
I'm so heavy and so tired
Expressing a sense of physical and emotional weariness.
And I know me a few men in my time
Referencing personal experiences with various men, finding them all lacking in value.
None of them worth a lousy dime
Emphasizing the perceived worthlessness of the mentioned men.
And they make me work like a doggone slave
Describing a situation where hard work is demanded, akin to being a slave.
Won't be happy 'til I'm in my grave
Expressing dissatisfaction, suggesting a desire for release even in death.
And I've been drifting and rolling along the road
Continuation of the theme of drifting and struggling with a heavy burden.
Tryin' to bear my heavy load
Reiteration of the effort to endure a significant load or challenge.
And like a log that's been passed on the side
Repeating the metaphor of feeling like a discarded log, burdened and fatigued.
I'm so heavy and so tired
Echoing the sense of heaviness and exhaustion.
My world you don't took it and torn it in two
Referring to a personal world being shattered and divided.
Who'd ever thought it of a boy like you
Expressing surprise or disbelief at the actions of a particular individual.
It looked hot, I thought it was a sugar and spice
Describing a deceptive appearance, initially appearing sweet but turning bitter.
Salty water turned to ice
Metaphorically portraying a transformation from something pleasant to unpleasant.
I've been drifting and rolling along the road
Reiteration of the theme of drifting and grappling with a burdensome existence.
Tryin' to bear my heavy load
Persisting in the effort to carry a heavy load or face a significant challenge.
And like a log that's been passed on the side
Repeating the image of feeling like a discarded log, emphasizing the weight and fatigue.
I'm so heavy and so tired
Reiterating the feelings of being heavily burdened and exhausted.
