Swing Away Heartache: Finding Joy in the Rhythm of Life
Lyrics
Once you were together, now you're far apart
Reflects on a past when the couple was together but is now separated.
One who swore to love you has gone and broke your heart
Expresses the pain of someone who promised love but ended up breaking the heart.
But don't cry on your pillow, don't let it get you down
Encourages not to dwell on the sadness and not to let it affect one's mood.
Put on that party dress go out and paint the town
Suggests putting on a cheerful facade, dressing up, and going out to enjoy oneself.
Baby swing, baby swing
Introduces the theme of swinging, which metaphorically implies finding joy and rhythm in life.
It's easy as the lullaby your momma used to sing
Compares swinging to the ease of a comforting lullaby from childhood.
Once you feel that rhythm you won't worry about a thing
Once the rhythm is felt, encourages not to worry about troubles or problems.
Just swing, swing, baby swing
Reiterates the encouragement to swing and enjoy life without concerns.
There's a juke joint down the highway past the city limit sign
Introduces a location for celebration, a juke joint, beyond the city limits.
Check your troubles at the door, go on and have a good time
Advises leaving worries behind and embracing a good time at the venue.
The band can play the boogie beat so wear your dancing shoes
Highlights the musical atmosphere and recommends wearing dancing shoes for the boogie beat.
Let that old piano man pound away your blues
Suggests the power of music, especially the piano, in alleviating emotional distress.
Baby swing, baby swing
Reiterates the theme of swinging as a solution to life's challenges.
It's easy as the lullaby your momma used to sing
Compares the ease of swinging to the comfort of a familiar lullaby.
Once you feel that rhythm you won't worry about a thing
Once the rhythm is embraced, advises not to worry about life's troubles.
Just swing, swing, baby swing
Encourages continuous swinging for a carefree and joyful life.
Oh baby swing, baby swing
Repeats the encouragement to swing, emphasizing its ease and familiarity.
It's easy as the lullaby your momma used to sing
Compares swinging to a comforting lullaby from the past.
Once you feel that rhythm you won't worry about a thing
Once the rhythm is felt, reassures that there's no need to worry about anything.
Just swing, swing, baby swing, yeah swing, swing, baby swing
Repeats the call to swing, emphasizing the carefree and joyful nature of the activity.
