Road to Texas
Journey of Longing: Roads Leading Home
Lyrics
Driving away is the easiest thing to do
Driving away is a simple action
Until I realize all roads lead back to you
Realization that all paths lead back to a specific person
Running all night on the highway
Nighttime travel on the highway, reminiscent of shared experiences
Just like we love to do
Expressing a shared love for driving
Oh I realize all roads lead back to you
Reiteration that all roads lead back to a particular person
The headlights up ahead
Association of headlights with the person's eyes
remind me of your eyes
Seeing the person's face in various places
See your face in every place
Connection of rain and windshield wipers with emotional state
I passed through tonight
Passing through places that evoke memories of the person
And the rain keeps crawling
Symbolic representation of emotional struggle with rain
Down on my window
Continuation of the impact of rain on emotions
Smacking with the wipers in time
Association of rain and windshield wipers with rhythm and time
And every road leads to Texas
Emphasis on the idea that every road leads to Texas, a metaphor for the person on their mind
When you're on my mind
Highlighting the significance of Texas when thinking about the person
Sitting at the bar doesn't do
Expressing dissatisfaction with sitting at a bar
a whole lot for me
Need for movement and activity to cope with emotions
I gotta move around
Desire to explore and engage with life
Catch any fish that ever swim in the sea
Metaphorical willingness to make significant sacrifices for the person
If you took my hand in marriage
Expressing a hypothetical willingness to leave a current relationship
I'd leave my wife tonight
Imagining a future with the person, emphasizing their importance
Take you back home
Expressing the belief that the person makes everything perfect
Girl you make the world just right
Reiteration of the central theme that thinking about the person connects to Texas
