Lyrics
Making headway
Making progress or advancing.
Dodging the stars the paint the night
Avoiding obstacles or challenges that define the night sky.
No rest in failure
No relaxation in the face of failure or setbacks.
All of the things that come to mind
Contemplating various thoughts and ideas.
Missed days of worry
Remembering days filled with concern or anxiety.
All of the turns that beg delay
Delays caused by the different paths in life.
If we're going
Expressing a willingness to proceed.
Let's give the time of day
Suggesting a positive acknowledgment of the present moment.
You don't have to wait 'till the sun sets
Encouraging not to wait for specific conditions to act.
The future is calling your name
Acknowledging the future and its opportunities.
Friday night and you're on your own
Being alone on a Friday night.
California seems so gold
California is depicted as a desirable and prosperous place.
I'm not staying here at home
Choosing not to stay home.
Gold as the road
The road is compared to gold, symbolizing its value and allure.
Gold is the road
Reiteration of the road's significance and preciousness.
Wandering logic
Engaging in contemplative thinking, possibly philosophical.
Cut off from velvet taste of rain
Being deprived of the luxurious experience of rain.
And always I'll bet
Expressing certainty in a bet or prediction.
The other colors still remain
Other colors persist despite a focus on gold.
Fixed on memory
Being fixed or stuck in a particular memory.
Frozen in space and time
Describing a moment as timeless and unchanging.
So driving, hoping
Driving and hoping for experiences that bring joy.
That you find the things that make you smile
Encouraging active pursuit of things that bring happiness.
Don't you just sit there in waiting
Discouraging passive waiting for opportunities.
The future is calling your name
Reiterating the call of the future and its possibilities.
Friday night and you're on your own
Being alone on a Friday night, repeating a theme.
California seems so gold
Reaffirming the appeal of California.
I'm not staying here at home
Choosing not to stay home, a repeated sentiment.
Gold as the road
Emphasizing the road's value and allure, repetition.
Gold is the road
Reiteration of the preciousness of the road.
Wherever you go
Highlighting the importance of personal choice in destinations.
I'm not gonna
Declaring a determination not to do something.
No I'm not gonna
Repeating the refusal or determination.
Give up running
Expressing a commitment to keep moving forward.
Friday night and you're on your own
Repeating the theme of being alone on a Friday night.
California seems so gold
Reaffirming the allure of California.
I'm not staying here at home
Choosing not to stay home, a recurring decision.
Gold as the road
Reiterating the road's value and significance.
Friday night and you're on your own
Repeating the theme of being alone on a Friday night.
California seems so gold
Stating the attractiveness of California once again.
I'm not staying here at home
Declining to stay home, echoing a previous choice.
Gold as the road
Emphasizing the value and allure of the road, repetition.
Gold as the road
Reiteration of the road's significance and preciousness.
