Johnson City Blues
Longing Echoes: Johnny's Journey Through Love and Distance
Lyrics
Do enough to get ahead, that's fine, it's fine
Doing the necessary to progress in life is acceptable and satisfactory.
Waking up to death instead, It's mine, all mine
Waking up to the inevitability of death is a personal experience and possession.
We'll just wait, wait in line, for all, of time
Waiting patiently in line is a metaphor for enduring the passage of time.
We'll just wait, wait in line, OHHH
Reiteration of the theme of waiting in line, emphasizing its inevitability.
