Round This World
Wandering Hearts: Charley Crockett's Journey Through Love and Solitude
Lyrics
I'm going round this world
I am traveling around the world.
Going round it, pretty girl
Traveling around the world with a beautiful girl.
I'm a leavin' and I can't say, when I'll be back around this way
I am leaving, and I cannot specify when I will return to this place.
This way, when I'll be back around this way
Reiteration of the uncertainty about the return time to this place.
This way, and it's awful hard to say when I'll be back around this way
Emphasizing the difficulty in predicting when the return to this place will happen.
I'm goin' cross this land
I am traversing this land.
I'll be that banjo pickin' man
Identifying as a skilled banjo player.
It's been a long, long, long, long time
A long time has passed since I last thought about you.
That I've had you on my mind
You have been on my mind for an extended period.
On my mind, that I've had you on my mind
Repetition of the duration and persistence of thoughts about the person.
On my mind and true love's hard to find
Expressing the difficulty of finding true love.
Well I've done had you on my mind
Confirmation of persistent thoughts about the person.
I've been a runnin' through the field
Describing a past experience of running through a field.
When I was alive it felt so real
Reflecting on a vivid and real feeling when alive.
They got my down here in a valley low
Being in a low valley, possibly symbolizing a difficult situation.
Cause it's the only one I know
Emphasizing that the known valley is the only one.
That I know, and it's the only one I know
Reiteration that the known valley is the only one.
That I know, it's a long and lonesome road, but it's the only one I know
Acknowledging the challenging and solitary journey but recognizing it as the only path known.
