Right on Time
Embracing Life's Journey: Right on Time by Gretchen Wilson
Lyrics
It's not my nature to be patient
Expresses a lack of natural patience in the speaker's personality.
I jump every river I cross
Describes the speaker's tendency to take risks, overcoming obstacles (rivers).
Not much for following the sensible size,
Rejects the idea of adhering to conventional norms or reasonable limits.
I can't count the times I've been lost
Highlights the speaker's experience of being lost multiple times.
'Cause you can't see where you're going in the pouring rain,
Metaphorically suggests challenges and difficulties (pouring rain).
When you're running into walls, feeling no pain
Describes the feeling of hitting obstacles and facing adversity without feeling pain.
We all owe dues to the devil, I've paid mine
Acknowledges facing hardships or challenges (owing dues to the devil).
Took a while to get here, but I'm right on time
Reflects on the time it took for the speaker to reach their current position.
I don't regret a single moment
Expresses no remorse for past experiences, embracing the journey.
It's been one hell of a ride
Acknowledges a challenging but fulfilling life journey.
I count myself among the fortunate ones,
Considers oneself fortunate for overcoming challenges.
Made it to the other side
Successfully navigating difficulties to reach a positive outcome.
Yeah you go what you go through to get where you are
Emphasizes the necessity of enduring hardships to achieve one's current status.
Lucky for me, I didn't go too far
Expresses gratitude for not going too far down a negative path.
I turned around before the end of the line,
Acknowledges turning away from a potentially detrimental course.
Took a while to get here, but I'm right on time
Reiterates the time it took for the speaker to reach their current state of being.
No, you can't see where you're going in the pouring rain,
Repeats the metaphor of challenges in the pouring rain and obscured vision.
When you're running into walls, feeling no pain
Describes the sensation of facing obstacles without experiencing pain.
We all owe dues to the devil and I've sure paid mine
Acknowledges the speaker's past struggles and challenges.
Took a while to get here but I'm right on time
Reiterates the time it took for the speaker to reach their current state of being.
Took a while to get here but I'm right on time
Affirms the speaker's punctuality in achieving their current position in life.
