End of the Line
Riverside Reflections: Seeking Connections at the End of the Line
Lyrics
Way down by the river at the end of the line
Expressing a location "way down by the river" at the culmination of a journey or experience.
I was looking to have a real good time
Seeking enjoyment and fulfillment, anticipating a positive experience.
Way down by the river at the end of the line
Reiteration of the setting by the river at the end of a line, suggesting a final destination.
I was looking for some friends of mine
In search of companionship or camaraderie at the specified location.
I was thinking about you that night
Reflecting on thoughts about someone during that particular night.
Way down by the river where the bugles blow
Describing a place near the river where bugles are blown, possibly invoking a sense of military or ceremonial atmosphere.
I had myself nowhere to go
Feeling lost or aimless, lacking direction in life.
Way down by the river where the bugles blow
Reiteration of being near the river with a sense of having nowhere to go.
I had myself nowhere to go
Continuing the theme of aimlessness or a lack of purpose in the narrator's life.
I was thinking about you that night
Recalling thoughts about someone during that specific night.
Now they say good souls they travel far
Discussing the belief that virtuous individuals journey far, questioning if a cherished possession (old guitar) was taken along.
But did you take with you your old guitar
Repeating the inquiry about the guitar, emphasizing its significance in the context of the journey.
Oh they say good souls they travel far
Reaffirming the idea that good souls undertake extensive travels.
Did you take with you your old guitar
Questioning again if the old guitar, symbolizing personal and artistic expression, was included in the journey.
I was thinking about you that night
Recollection of thoughts about someone on that particular night.
Well everyone's trying to make a little work
Observation about the universal pursuit of employment and success.
And everyone's trying to make it first
Highlighting the competitive nature of striving for success.
I was thinking about you that night
Revisiting thoughts about someone during that night.
Way down by the river at the end of the line
Restating the location by the river at the culmination of a journey.
Oh, I was looking to have a real good time
Expressing a desire for a genuinely enjoyable experience near the river.
Way down by the river at the end of the line
Reiterating the location and the search for companionship at the end of the line.
I was looking for some friends of mine
Continuation of the quest for friends at the specified river location.
I was thinking about you that night
Reflecting on thoughts about someone on that specific night.
I was thinking about you that night
Recalling thoughts about someone during that night, creating a thematic connection with earlier verses.
