Lucy
Lucy's Road: A Rock and Roll Romance Under the Tennessee Moon
Lyrics
Are you headed back
Asking if Lucy is returning
To the hills of Tennessee
Reference to the hills of Tennessee, possibly Lucy's origin or a symbolic place
Going out on the road
Lucy is embarking on a journey
To see what it might bring
Curiosity about what the journey may bring
Gonna try your hand
Lucy is trying the lifestyle of a touring musician
At living that road dog life
Desire to experience the road dog life with a rock and roll band
With a rock and roll band
Commitment to the pursuit, even if it takes a lifetime
Even if it takes the rest of your life
Requesting Lucy to allow love for the night
Yeah Lucy let me love you tonight
Encouraging Lucy to stay until morning
Just stay until the morning comes
No intention to prevent Lucy from leaving
No I won't try to stop you from going
Choosing companionship over solitude
'Cause this is better than sleeping alone
Expressing preference for being with Lucy than sleeping alone
Yeah Lucy let me love you
Repetition of the plea to let love happen
Lucy let me love you tonight
Reiteration of the desire to love Lucy during the night
You got that look in your eyes
Observation of a certain look in Lucy's eyes
It tells me where you've been
Implication that Lucy's eyes reveal her experiences
Like the tattoos on your arms
Comparing Lucy's tattoos to a visual representation of her condition
Tell me the shape that you're in
Connecting physical appearance to emotional state
As soon as you walked up
Lucy's quick exit upon arrival
You were right back out that door
Rejecting the idea of romance, a belief Lucy claims to have abandoned
To hell with romance
Encouraging Lucy to let love happen tonight
You say you don't believe in that anymore
Asking Lucy to stay until the morning
So Lucy let me love you tonight
Reiteration that there's no intention to stop Lucy from leaving
Just stay until the morning comes
Preference for companionship over solitude, emphasizing it's better than sleeping alone
No I won't try to stop you from going
Repetition of the plea for Lucy to let love happen tonight
'Cause this is better than sleeping alone
Encouraging Lucy to stay until the morning
Yea Lucy let me love you
Reiteration of the desire to love Lucy during the night
Lucy let me love you tonight
Reiteration of the request to love Lucy tonight
So Lucy let me love you tonight
Repetition of the plea for Lucy to let love happen tonight
Just stay until the morning comes
Encouraging Lucy to stay until the morning
No I won't try to stop you from going
Repetition of the acknowledgment that Lucy can leave if she wishes
'Cause this is better than sleeping alone
Emphasizing the preference for companionship over solitude
Yeah Lucy let me love you tonight
Repetition of the plea for Lucy to let love happen tonight
Just stay until the morning comes
Encouraging Lucy to stay until the morning
No I won't try to stop you from going
Repetition of the intention not to stop Lucy from leaving
'Cause this is better than sleeping alone
Stressing the preference for companionship over solitude
Yea Lucy let me love you
Reiteration of the desire to love Lucy during the night
Lucy let me love you tonight
Repetition of the request to love Lucy tonight
Let me love you tonight
Request to be allowed to love Lucy tonight
Let me love you tonight
Repetition of the plea to be allowed to love Lucy tonight
Let me love you tonight
Continued plea to be allowed to love Lucy tonight
Let me love you tonight
Final plea to be allowed to love Lucy tonight
