Lyrics
Happy Trails
Expression of well wishes for a journey or departure
V1
First verse
One hundred days til you're gone
Anticipation of a departure in a hundred days
One hundred days on the line
Reflecting on spending a hundred days in a challenging situation
That's heartache in splendor and sorrow divine
Describing the mix of heartache and beauty in the situation
And all this waitin ain't no friend of mine
Impatience with the waiting period
V2
Second verse
Long skinny legs on the floor
Describing someone's physical appearance
There swaying to the music she sings,
Being captivated by someone's singing and presence
I'll be here tomorrow, hell Ill be here all week,
Commitment to staying for a certain duration but with conditions
But don't you ask me here to say else I'll leave!
Warning not to ask for more, or the speaker will leave
Pre
Pre-chorus
Guess I chased down that road
Reflecting on chasing after something repeatedly
One too many times
Feeling deeply invested and committed
I's head over heels, keys in the drive
Being fully involved and ready to depart
If all too familiar these feelins you find
Recognizing familiar feelings
Embracing the fault line you roam
Accepting and navigating through a challenging situation
Ch
Chorus
Under the moon of some elegant night
Describing a romantic or emotional setting under the moon
All dressed up in farewell delight
Dressed up and ready to say goodbye in a delightful manner
Boarding a train bound for Houston, Toronto and the like
Mentioning destinations like Houston and Toronto
Happy trails, happy trails goodbye
Repeated expression of saying goodbye happily
Happy trails happy trails goodbye
-V3
Third verse
As you run off through the night with all that you need
Describing someone running away with everything necessary
Care to write me one last letter through the screen
Requesting a final message through a digital medium
Pour your finest comfort on me, lay me down lay me down
Seeking comfort and rest
Confiscate me to my sweet deliverance, edge of town
Desiring a transition or escape from the current situation
Pre
Repeated lines from pre-chorus
Guess I chased down that road
-One too many times
-I's ahead, and over heels, keys in the drive
-If all too familiar these feelins you find
-Embracing the fault line you roam
-Ch
Repeated lines from the chorus
Under the moon of some elegant night
-All dressed up in farewell delight
-Boarding a train bound for Houston, Toronto and the like
-Happy trails, happy trails goodbye
-Happy trails happy trails goodbye
-Happy trails happy trails goodbye
Reiteration of bidding a happy farewell
