One Horse Town
Finding Love in a One-Horse Town: Charlie Mars' Melodic Prescription
Lyrics
I need love
I yearn for love
It's my medication
Love serves as my remedy or solace
For fragile cuts and cold calculations
Love is necessary for healing emotional wounds and dealing with harsh, calculated situations
When it gets a lonely kind of life
Life becomes isolating and challenging
I call you up tell you everything gonna be alright
I reach out to you, sharing my troubles, with the reassurance that everything will be okay
I know that my place is small and I'm a one-horse town
Acknowledging my humble surroundings, living in a small, quiet town
Still I think you should pack your bags
Despite the limitations, I believe you should join me
Baby come on down
Encouraging you to come and be with me
Won't you come on down into my home
Inviting you to enter my home
When you never laugh babe
When you don't express joy or sorrow
You never cry
Describing a lack of emotional response
When it ain't cut darling and it ain't dry
Things aren't exciting or challenging
I think you need a simple kind of life
Suggesting a need for a simpler, more meaningful life
I call you up tell you everything gonna be alright
I reassure you that everything will be okay
I know that my place is small and I'm a one-horse town
Despite the smallness of my place and the town, I urge you to join me
Still I think you should pack your bags
Reiterating the invitation to pack your bags and come to me
Baby come on down
Asking you to come into my home
Won't you come one down into my home
(Blank line, possibly indicating a pause or reflection)
All I can say is what
Expressing a limitation in communication or understanding
All I can think is why
Pondering the reasons or motives behind the situation
Why is my place so small am I a one-horse town
Questioning the size of my place, wondering if I am in a one-horse town
Still I think you should pack your bags
Despite uncertainties, reiterating the invitation for you to join me
Baby come on down
Encouraging you to come into my home
Into my home
Continuing the invitation to be together in my home
