Embracing Liberation: Easy Ways to Leave Love's Crossroads
Lyrics
There he goes, gone again
Expressing the departure of someone.
This same old story's gotta come to an end
Highlighting the repetitive nature of a familiar, possibly troublesome, situation that needs resolution.
Lovin' him was a one way street
Describing a one-sided love affair, where the speaker invests more than they receive.
But I'm getting off where the crossroads meet
Deciding to end the relationship at the crossroads.
It's a quarter moon in a ten cent town
Setting the scene with a quarter moon in a cheap, small town.
It's time for me to lay my heartaches down
Declaring the intention to let go of past sorrows.
Saturday night, I'm gonna make myself a name
Planning to establish a new identity on a Saturday night.
Take a month of Sundays to try and explain
Acknowledging the complexity of explaining the decision, emphasizing its difficulty.
It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
Anticipating that it will be easy to bring happiness to a woman who has been longing for love.
Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
Recognizing the challenge of overcoming the haunting memories of a problematic man.
And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky
Envisioning a triumphant and elevated state of being in the future.
It's gonna be easy, easy from now on
Reiterating the expectation that life will be easy and uncomplicated moving forward.
Raw as a whip but clean as a bone
Describing a contrast between vulnerability and purity.
Soft to the touch when you take me home
Highlighting a sensuous and tender aspect when intimately connected.
But when the morning comes and it's time for me to leave
Addressing the transient nature of relationships and the need to leave when morning arrives.
Don't worry about me I've got a wild card up my sleeve
Assuring that departure is not a concern as there's a hidden advantage or plan.
It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
Repeating the ease of satisfying a woman's heart but emphasizing the difficulty of overcoming the memory of a flawed man.
Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
Reiterating the challenge of erasing the past and moving on from a troublesome relationship.
And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky
Envisioning a future characterized by triumph and elevation.
It's gonna be easy, easy, easy from now on
Affirming the expectation that life will be easy and uncomplicated moving forward.
