Bound for Glory
Wandering through Life's Echoes: Gasoline Lollipops' Bound for Glory
Lyrics
I tried to settle down in the Smokies,
I attempted to settle down in the Smoky Mountains.
But the kudzu and the women kept trying to choke me.
The invasive kudzu plant and troublesome women made it difficult, creating an unwelcoming environment.
San Antone weren't no better, but it had more booze.
San Antonio wasn't any better, but it had more alcohol.
I thought, Hell, money is all I got left to lose.
I believed that money was the only thing I had left to lose.
I tried to milk it slow but it went away fast.
Attempting to take things slowly, but they disappeared quickly.
It's always time to go the good times never last.
Times are fleeting, and it's always the right time to leave.
But for all I know there's a whole lot more
There may be more experiences and opportunities beyond what I currently know.
Waiting in that big, wide world right outside my door.
There might be a vast world of possibilities just outside my door.
I hear the call it echos in my vein
I sense a calling that resonates within my veins.
With the sound of a thousand screaming trains.
The calling is accompanied by the thunderous noise of countless trains.
Am I bound for glory?
Am I destined for glory?
Or am I bound in chains?
Or am I trapped in chains?
Life and death, Hell, it all looks the same.
Life and death appear indistinguishable or similar.
I put my ear to the track and I listen closely.
Placing my ear on the track to listen carefully.
Is that a freight train coming to make a ghost of me?
Wondering if an approaching freight train will end my existence.
Or a silver streamliner built for masters,
Alternatively, is it a streamlined train meant for masters,
Coming to take me on to greener pastures?
coming to transport me to better opportunities?
It come up slow so I hop on fast.
It emerges slowly, prompting me to quickly seize the opportunity.
There's always some place to go the bad times never last.
There is always another place to go, as bad times are temporary.
But for all I know, there's a whole lot more
There might be more waiting for me in the expansive world beyond.
Waiting in that big, wide world right outside my door.
There could be numerous opportunities just outside my door.
