Eastern Kentucky
Life's Journey Through Eastern Kentucky
Lyrics
Well You know I had a buddy
Expressing a personal connection with an individual
From eastern Kentucky
Referring to a friend originating from eastern Kentucky
He just wasn't lucky as me
Comparing personal fortune, acknowledging the friend's misfortune
He died in the sand
Indicating the friend's death in a distant conflict zone
In some far away land
Describing the location of the friend's death
Where they're fightin' for the peace that'll never be
Highlighting the irony of fighting for an elusive peace
chh fightin' for the freedom that they won't see
Emphasizing the struggle for freedom with limited visibility
Sure as shine's in the mountains
Asserting certainty, using natural elements as metaphors
There's water in the fountain
Continuing with nature metaphors to convey confidence
cin't a shadow of doubt in me
Expressing unwavering belief
That someday we'll be together
Anticipating a future reunion with a loved one
In the perfect fishin' weather
Imagining an ideal scenario for shared activities
Catchin' all the small mouth bass in Tennessee
Envisioning enjoyable moments, specifically fishing in Tennessee
chh slayin' record smallmouth bass in Tennessee
Reiterating the joy of catching record smallmouth bass
So you better get to livin'
Encouraging a proactive and positive approach to life
Stop takin', start givin'
Advising to shift from taking to giving
More huggin' and a kissin' kinda thing
Promoting affectionate behaviors
Cause time waits for no one
Stressing the inevitability of time passing
Just keeps movin' on
Emphasizing the continuous nature of time
One day you're here
Describing the transient nature of life
The next you're gone
Highlighting the unpredictability of existence
chh one day you're here
Repeating the theme of life's fleeting nature
The next day you're gone
Reiterating the impermanence of life
I pray to God above
Expressing a hope for resolution and compassion
That all this push and shove
Commenting on societal conflicts and the need for love
Can make some room for love and kill the pain
Desiring a positive change to alleviate suffering
Listen to me brother
Addressing a fellow person, advising to cherish relationships
You better hold on to each other
Emphasizing the importance of holding onto connections
'Cause the years roll by like a highball train
Comparing time to a fast-moving train
Let's get to livin'
Repeating the call for an active and positive lifestyle
Stop taking, start givin'
Reiterating the shift from taking to giving
More huggin' and a kissin' kinda thing
Encouraging affectionate behaviors
'Cause time waits for no one
Reiterating the unstoppable progression of time
Just keeps movin' on
Stressing the continual forward movement of time
One day you're here
Reflecting on the transient nature of life
The next you're gone
Highlighting the unpredictability of existence
chh one day your here
Repeating the theme of life's fleeting nature
The next day you're gone
Reiterating the impermanence of life
