As the Crow Flies
Embracing Freedom: A Journey Beyond Boundaries
Lyrics
Well, a gypsy lady once told me
Received advice from a gypsy lady about having a free-spirited soul.
Son, you got the kind of soul that's gotta be free
Emphasizes the necessity of freedom for the mentioned soul.
It ain't what you want, it's just what you need
Highlighting the importance of needs over wants.
Like a black bird baby, you were born with wings.
Comparing the person to a black bird born with inherent freedom.
And as a crow flies, so do I
Expressing the narrator's ability to move swiftly and freely.
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Indicating the ease with which the narrator can leave a situation.
Next town's never to hard to find
Suggesting that finding the next destination is effortless.
It's never that far as a crow flies.
Reiterating the ease of travel, emphasizing the straight-line distance.
Well, I set it down in Tennessee and got a little juice
Describing a stop in Tennessee and encountering challenges (Nashville blues).
But I caught myself a case of them Nashville blues
Referring to facing difficulties or troubles related to the music scene in Nashville.
I met a little girl that tried to tie me down
Mentioning a girl attempting to establish a commitment.
So I pointed it to Hollywood and put the hammer down.
Choosing to head to Hollywood to escape commitments and obligations.
And as a crow flies, so do I
Reiterating the narrator's ability to move swiftly and independently.
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Emphasizing the quick departure the narrator can make.
Next town's never to hard to find
Stating that finding the next town is never challenging.
It's never that far as a crow flies.
Highlighting the short distance between towns "as a crow flies."
I live on the run, I love on the prowl
Describing a lifestyle of constant movement and love without commitments.
I never was much on hangin' around
Expressing a dislike for staying in one place for too long.
I never look back, I never look down
Emphasizing a forward-looking attitude, never dwelling on the past.
I never thought once about turnin' around.
Never considering turning back from the chosen path.
And as a crow flies, so do I
Reiterating the narrator's swift and decisive movements.
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Emphasizing the sudden and quick nature of the narrator's departures.
Next town's never to hard to find
Assuring that the next town is easily accessible.
It's never that far as a crow flies.
Stressing the short distance "as a crow flies" to the next destination.
And as a crow flies, so do I
Repeating the theme of quick and unhesitant movement.
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Reiterating the sudden and almost immediate departure the narrator can make.
Next town's never to hard to find
Assuring that finding the next town is never a difficult task.
It's never that far as a crow flies
Stressing the short distance "as a crow flies" to the next destination.
