River Road
Chasing Dreams on River Road: A Journey of Escape and Pursuit
Lyrics
Here I go once again
Expressing the repetition of a familiar action or decision.
With my suitcase in my hand
Preparing to leave, symbolized by holding a suitcase.
And I'm running away down River Road
Choosing to escape and follow a path called "River Road."
And I swear, once again, that I'm never coming home
Making a solemn promise to not return home again.
Yes, I'm chasing my dreams down River Road
Pursuing personal aspirations along "River Road."
Mama said, listen child
Mother advising against recklessness due to age.
You're too old to run wild
Stating that the individual is beyond the age for carefree behavior.
You're to big to be fishin' with the boys these days
Being too mature for activities associated with youth.
So I grabbed some clothes and I ran
Taking belongings and fleeing impulsively.
Stole five dollars from a sugar can
Stealing money to facilitate the escape.
A twelve year old jail breaker runnin' away
Describing a young runaway, reminiscent of a jailbreaker.
Here I go once again
Repeating the cycle of leaving with a suitcase.
With my suitcase in my hand
Carrying the symbol of departure once again.
And I'm running away down River Road
Reiterating the choice to escape along "River Road."
And I swear, once again, that I'm never coming home
Reaffirming the commitment to never return home.
I'm chasing my dreams down River Road
Continuing the pursuit of personal dreams along "River Road."
Well, I married a pretty good man
Having a spouse who is understanding but aware of the desire to leave.
And he tries to understand
Spouse attempting to comprehend the longing for departure.
But he knows I've got leavin' on my mind these days
Acknowledging a persistent inclination to leave.
When I get that urge to roam
Feeling the urge to wander and explore.
I'm just like a kid again
Experiencing a sense of youthful impulsiveness.
The same old jail breaker runnin' away
Comparing the desire to escape to that of a young runaway.
Here I go once again
Repeating the pattern of leaving with a suitcase.
With my suitcase in my hand
Holding onto the symbol of departure once again.
And I'm running away down River Road
Re-emphasizing the decision to escape along "River Road."
And I swear, once again, that I'm never coming home
Reconfirming the commitment to never return home.
I'm chasing my dreams down River Road
Persisting in the pursuit of personal dreams along "River Road."
