Ferguson Road
Finding Liberation: Ferguson Road's Revelatory Journey
Lyrics
I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Expressing the intention to go to Ferguson Road.
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am
Desiring self-reflection and personal growth in nature.
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream
Planning to experience a challenging situation to become emotionally detached.
So I will be sure not to give a damn
Ensuring emotional resilience by not caring.
No one ever loses anybody
Challenging the notion of losing someone permanently.
But sometime it's so hard to get along
Acknowledging the difficulty of relationships.
I don't want to hang on to anybody
Expressing a desire for independence from others.
So before you say you're leaving, I'll be gone
Indicating a pre-emptive departure before someone leaves.
I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Reiterating the intention to go to Ferguson Road.
Find myself a spot where the sun shines through
Seeking a place with positive, enlightening qualities.
I'll throw some old mattress in the back of my bus
Planning to discard remnants of the past in a symbolic act.
And get a good head start on forgetting you
Initiating the process of moving on from a past relationship.
You know I've never known anybody
Highlighting the unique impact of a specific individual.
Who could ever make me feel this way
Emphasizing the emotional intensity induced by someone.
But no one gets to own anybody
Rejecting the notion of possessing or controlling others.
You see, I have good reason when I say
Justifying detachment based on valid reasons.
I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Repeating the intention to go to Ferguson Road for emphasis.
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am
Reiterating the desire for self-discovery in nature.
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream
Planning to confront discomfort to reinforce emotional resilience.
So I will be sure not to give a damn
Affirming commitment to emotional detachment.
