Beautiful Land
Discovering Redemption in the Beautiful Land: A Song's Journey
Lyrics
Strip away the bar and gun shop
Removing the presence of a bar and gun shop
Strip away the lonesome telephone lines
Eliminating the isolation conveyed by telephone lines
Strip away the faded black top
Getting rid of the worn-out black top surface
Strip away these things,
Removing various elements
I'll tell you what you'll find
Promise to reveal something significant
Beautiful land
Reference to a beautiful land
With the hills all around
Describing the surroundings with hills
Where the mountaintops reach
Highlighting the mountains reaching for the clouds
For the billowing clouds
Emphasizing the scenic beauty
Touch of God's hand
Expressing a divine touch
Is a whispering sound
Referring to a gentle sound in nature
Of the wind through the trees
Depicting the wind through trees
In the dawn's misty shroud
Describing the misty morning atmosphere
Beautiful land
Reiteration of the beautiful land
My coat still holds her perfume
Mention of a lingering perfume on a coat
My car seat a few strands of her hair
Noticing strands of hair in a car seat
I see my red eyes in the rear view
Observing red eyes in the rearview mirror

Driving through high country air
Through the....
Continuation of the narrative
Beautiful land....
Repetition of the beautiful land theme
I don't ever want to get that way again
Expressing a desire to avoid a negative state
I turned my back on who I was
Reflecting on a past self and decisions
I turned my back on all my friends
Turning away from friendships
I don't ever want to get that way
Reiterating a desire to avoid a negative state
In the stillness of the morning
Describing the stillness of the morning
In the absence of a practical plan
Not having a practical plan
In the wake of my transforming
Experiencing a transformation
From a loved one to a stranger again
Transitioning from a loved one to a stranger
Lies the ....
Continuation of the narrative
Beautiful land....
Reiteration of the beautiful land theme
