5 More Miles
Journey Through Struggle: Charley Crockett's '5 More Miles' Meaning
Lyrics
Watch that crow as he flies
Observing the crow's flight
See my struggle in his eyes
Perceiving the singer's struggle reflected in the crow's eyes
You don't want me, yes I know
Acknowledging that the other person doesn't want the singer
Five more miles for me to go
Expressing the distance (figuratively or literally) of five miles yet to cover
There's two trains running, leave this town
Two trains leaving town, possibly indicating a desire to escape
Sun comes up, I'm going down
Sunrise marks a downturn in the singer's situation
Keep saying I'm free but I just don't know
Claiming freedom but feeling uncertain
Five more miles for me to go
Reiterating the distance of five miles yet to traverse
Five more miles for me to go
Emphasizing the ongoing journey of five more miles
I'm gonna tell you what
Intent to share a message
On this road that's filled up with sorrow
Describing a road filled with sorrow
I'm gonna tell you what
Repeating the determination to convey a message
Ain't never enough
Stating that there is never enough
Call me Joe Christmas, that's my name
Using the name "Joe Christmas" as an alias
I got this river running through my veins
Metaphorically having a river of life flowing within
That light in August it sure do glow
Referring to a glowing light in August, possibly a positive aspect amid challenges
Five more miles for me to go
Repeating the distance of five miles yet to cover
I know this life it sure is hard
Acknowledging the hardships of life
All I can do is play my cards
Adopting a pragmatic approach, playing the cards dealt in life
Keep saying I'm free but I just don't know
Expressing uncertainty about freedom
Five more miles for me to go
Reiterating the ongoing journey of five more miles
Five more miles for me to go
Emphasizing the continuous nature of the journey
