Back on the Road
Embracing Change: Finding Freedom in Life's Rhythm
Lyrics
Time to get back on the road
It's time to resume the journey or move forward in life.
Gonna leave these troubles behind
Leaving behind current problems or difficulties.
Time to carry the load
Time to take on responsibilities or challenges.
What my life is a true design
My life follows a genuine or authentic path.
You won't reach me by phone
Unavailable via phone, suggesting physical movement.
I'll be moving round between the line
Being mobile or active without staying in one place.
Time to get back on the road
Reiterating the need to move forward or continue the journey.
Gonna mend this heart of mine
Intending to heal emotional wounds or pain.
Don't you cry, when I say goodbye
Asking someone not to be upset when departing.
Baby, baby, carry on
Encouragement to keep going despite the separation.
Don't you cry, when I say goodbye
Repeating the encouragement not to be sad about leaving.
Cause baby, you're not alone
Assurance that the person being left is not alone.
The love that we shared was grand,
Recognizing the love shared in the past as significant.
But not enough to keep me still
However, that love wasn't enough to keep from moving forward.
I hope someday you understand
Hoping for eventual understanding of the decision to move on.
Music gives my heart, a thrill
Music brings excitement or joy to the heart.
Don't you cry, when I say goodbye
Repeated encouragement for the departing person not to be upset.
Baby, baby, carry on
Continued encouragement for the person to carry on despite the departure.
Don't you cry, when I say goodbye
Reiterating the message to not be saddened by the departure.
Cause, baby, you're not alone
Reassurance that the person left behind is not alone.
Since the day that my life began
From the start of life, pursuing a career in music has been the plan.
A band has been my true life plan
Music has been the intended and meaningful pursuit in life.
Time to get back on the road
Emphasizing the need to continue the journey in music.
Feel the music, take the stand
Feeling the music and taking a stand in pursuing it.
You are my true love,
Affirmation of love but acknowledging no replacement for the departed.
Still there will be no one, to take your place
Despite the love, no one can take the same place.
This feeling, I can't erase.
Emotions can't be erased, necessitating the need for personal space.
Got to move and have my space
Feeling the need to move forward and have personal freedom.
Don't you cry, when I say goodbye
Repeated assurance not to be sad about leaving.
Baby, baby, carry on
Continued encouragement for resilience after the departure.
Don't you cry, when I say goodbye
Reiterating the message to not be saddened by the departure.
