Any Old Stretch of Blacktop
Journey of a Wandering Soul: Any Old Stretch of Blacktop
Lyrics
I got money in my pocket
I currently have money with me.
And a guitar in my hand
I am carrying a guitar.
These lonely nights without you
These nights without you are emotionally challenging.
Are more than I can stand
The loneliness is overwhelming.
I work like a puppet but it's time
I feel controlled like a puppet by circumstances.
To cut the strings
It's time to break free from these controlling influences.
Well I hit the ground running
I start a journey energetically and decisively.
And I won't be looking back
I won't dwell on the past.
I'll be like a locomotive
I will be unstoppable like a locomotive.
Headed down a one way track
Heading in one direction without turning back.
It won't take too long
The journey won't take much time.
Just you wait and see
Wait and see the positive outcome.
As long as it will lead me back to you
The journey is worth it if it leads back to you.
Any old stretch of blacktop will do
Any road, no matter how ordinary, will suffice.
North, south, east, or west
Traveling in all directions - north, south, east, west.
Been everywhere it seems
I've been to many places.
Hotels rooms and honky tonks
Hotel rooms and honky tonks don't feel like home.
Don't feel like home to me
The familiar comfort is missing.
I'll be stepping out the rhythm
I'll find my own rhythm and sing a new song.
While I'm singing a brand new song
Knowing my destination keeps me moving forward.
And it's knowing where I'm going
That will keep me moving on
Adjusting to challenges and moving forward.
Turn my collar to the wind
I brace against the wind, determined.
And put my thumb up in the air
Seeking transportation by hitchhiking.
Flag a diesel down
Hailing a passing diesel vehicle.
Or catch a bus from anywhere
Or catching a bus from any location.
Colorado, California or even Kalamazoo
Mentioning various places, emphasizing the willingness to go anywhere.
As long as it will lead me back to you
The journey's value lies in leading back to the person missed.
Any old stretch of blacktop will do
Any road will serve the purpose.
I hit the ground running
Reiterating the determination to start the journey energetically.
Alright
Expressing affirmation and readiness.
North south east or west
Mentioning all directions again, emphasizing extensive travel.
