Lonesome Shadow
Journey Through Shadows: Copperhead Jones' Tale of Redemption
Lyrics
Don't move was all I heard
Receiving a command to stay still
Those simple spoken words
Basic words with significant impact
They sent a chill down my spine
Eliciting a shiver of fear
I'd been running and gunning
Engaged in constant movement and conflict
Chasing that thin white line
Pursuing a destructive path, possibly drug-related
Trying to get mine
Seeking personal gain
Those star badges and flashing lights
Confrontation with law enforcement
They had me dead to my rights
Caught in a situation with no escape
I'd been running and gunning
Continued evasion from legal consequences
From that thin blue line
Referring to police, symbolized by the thin blue line
So I never got mine
Escaping punishment
I did it on my own
Independent actions
And now I sit here all alone
Isolated and reflecting on past choices
In a double life sentence
Serving a lengthy prison sentence
With no promise of tomorrow
No assurance of a future
It's just me and my
Emphasizing solitude
Tall lonesome shadow
Symbolic representation of loneliness
Just me and my
Continued emphasis on isolation
Tall lonesome shadow
Repetition of loneliness theme
Those days in darkness
Periods of despair and obscurity
They were outside the light
Being excluded from positive influences
I'd been destined and questioned
Destined for a challenging life, facing questions
Putting my life on the line
Risking one's life for uncertain rewards
Trying to find mine
Struggling to discover personal identity
When you're the only one you serve
Solely serving oneself, lacking support
You're just grasping at straws
Desperation and futile attempts
Living outside the lines
Living beyond societal norms
I got what I deserve
Facing deserved consequences
Living outside the light
Existing outside of positive influences
I never got mine
Failure to achieve personal goals
I did it on my own
Independent actions with consequences
And now I sit here all alone
Reflection on past choices and their consequences
In a double life sentence
Serving a prolonged prison term with uncertainty
With no promise of tomorrow
Lack of assurance for the future
It's just me and my
Reiteration of the theme of solitude
Tall lonesome shadow
Emphasizing individual loneliness
Just me and my
Repetition of the theme of isolation
Tall lonesome shadow
Continued emphasis on personal loneliness
I did it on my own
Independent actions with consequences
And now I sit here all alone
Reflection on past choices and their consequences
In a double life sentence
Serving a prolonged prison term with uncertainty
With no promise of tomorrow
Lack of assurance for the future
It's just me and my
Reiteration of the theme of solitude
Tall lonesome shadow
Emphasizing individual loneliness
Just me and my
Repetition of the theme of isolation
Tall lonesome shadow
Continued emphasis on personal loneliness
Just me and my
Emphasizing individual loneliness
Tall lonesome shadow
Repetition of the theme of isolation
