As A Crow Flies
Navigating Life's Narrow Roads: As A Crow Flies by Casey West
Lyrics
3 o'clock still halfway rocked in the middle of nowhere
Feeling disoriented and lost at 3 o'clock in the middle of nowhere.
Catching long breaths with cigarettes still coughing up my lungs
Taking deep breaths from smoking, experiencing lung issues.
I sure wish that I could quit the shit if I had a reason why
Desiring to quit something but lacking a compelling reason.
I'd give it up in heartbeat if it wasn't for this drive
Would readily give up something if not for a strong drive or purpose.
And it's a long way to go
Expressing the considerable distance left to travel.
When I've given everything up, what's there really left to show
Questioning the significance of what remains after giving everything.
And I'll tell you son
Passing down wisdom or advice.
It's a narrow road when you're on your own, one way in and one way out
Life's path can feel restrictive and solitary.
As a crow flies
Using the expression "as the crow flies" to denote a direct route.
Well I guess what your saying it makes more than perfect sense
Agreeing with a statement that makes complete sense.
I laid it out gave it all up ain't been the same since
Having changed significantly after sacrificing everything.
The good lord knows I mean well, but I ain't seen him in years
Expressing intentions to do good but feeling distant from spirituality.
Now I'm sitting here begging please through the overwhelming tears
Begging desperately amid overwhelming emotions.
And it's a long way to go
Highlighting the extensive journey ahead despite giving much.
You can't give it all and have it too guess I'll reap what I sow
Understanding that giving everything may result in consequences.
And it's not what you planned
Realizing that circumstances don't always align with plans.
Deal a better hand and live life as straight
Desiring a better life but accepting one's current path.
As a crow flies
Reiterating the idea of a direct, straightforward path.
What the hell is wrong with me, I've given up my life
Questioning personal decisions and feeling regret for giving up life.
Trade it in for a simple plan no damn reason why
Exchanging a complex life for simplicity without a clear reason.
I wish I could've given you all the silver and gold
Wishing to provide wealth but leaving behind a difficult path instead.
Instead all I leave to you is this thin narrow road
Leaving behind a metaphorical challenging path for someone else.
And it's a long way to go
Emphasizing the long journey ahead, especially in difficult conditions.
You know some days are harder when you're walking in the snow
Highlighting the added challenges of walking in the snow.
And it's a long way to go
Reiterating the extensive distance left to travel.
Follow me through the storm, and you'll get there in time
Encouraging someone to follow despite difficulties to reach a destination.
As a crow flies
Repeating the comparison of traveling directly like a crow.
And it's a long way to go
Stating the endurance needed for the long journey ahead.
When you gave it all and have it too, don't forget what you know
Not forgetting the lessons learned while having everything.
And it's a long way to go
Reiterating the challenging nature of living a straightforward life.
Deal a better hand and live life as straight
Encouraging living a better life while staying true to roots.
Don't forget where you're from and you'll stay
Advising not to forget one's origins to maintain authenticity.
As a crow flies
Reiterating the metaphor of traveling directly like a crow.
