Travelin' Alone
Journey of the Soul: Unveiling the Depths in Eric Clapton's 'Travelin' Alone'
Lyrics
I ain't going tell nobody what Sante Fe has done for me
I won't share with anyone the positive impact Santa Fe has had on my life.
I ain't going tell nobody what Sante Fe has done for me
Reiteration of the secrecy about the positive influence of Santa Fe.
If you want to know baby you're sure going to have to come and see
If you're curious about the influence of Santa Fe, you'll have to visit and experience it yourself.
Eighty one's in the yard
Reference to the number 81, possibly a symbol or code, implying a presence in a particular location.
Eighty two's out on the road
The number 82 is on the road, suggesting movement or a journey.
Eighty one makes your living
81 supports one's livelihood or sustenance.
Eighty two put you out of dough
82 leads to financial difficulties or scarcity.
Nobody knows I'm trouble but the dear Lord above
No one except the divine is aware of the troubles I'm facing.
Nobody knows I'm trouble but the dear Lord above
Reiteration of the secrecy of personal troubles known only to the divine.
Well you know how I feel, you ever been in love
Acknowledgment of the listener's potential understanding of the singer's emotional state, drawing a parallel to the universal experience of love.
Lord I ain't going down tha big road by myself
Expressing reluctance to face challenges alone or take a difficult path in life.
Lord I ain't going down tha big road by myself
Reiteration of the unwillingness to face challenges alone, seeking companionship on life's journey.
If you can't go with me, carry somebody else
If you can't accompany me on my journey, help someone else who can't travel alone.
I ain't going tell nobody what Sante Fe done for me
Restating the secrecy regarding the positive influence of Santa Fe on the speaker's life.
I ain't going tell nobody what Sante Fe done for me
Continuation of the theme of not revealing the positive impact of Santa Fe to others.
If you want to know baby sure have to come and see
To understand the impact of Santa Fe, you must experience it firsthand.
