Lyrics
Oh man Rocky
Addressing someone named Rocky.
You were so damn right
Acknowledging Rocky's accuracy or correctness in something.
When you said the only true destination left to find
Agreeing with Rocky that the only genuine discovery left is internal, within oneself.
Is hidden under skin and bone
Suggesting that this true destination is within one's body and soul.
But how'd you know my darling
Asking how Rocky understood or knew the speaker intimately.
Know the way into me
Questioning Rocky's understanding of the speaker's inner self.
Won't you come back at least for a little while
Requesting Rocky to return, even briefly, for companionship.
Let me be there when you go
Asking to be part of Rocky's journey or experience.
Cold November 2015
Referencing a specific time, November 2015.
Walking over Ford 150 tire tracks
Describing walking over tracks made by a Ford 150 vehicle.
Digging deep into the sand
Engaging deeply with the sand, possibly metaphorical for contemplation or struggle.
Yeah you slipped right out your battered boots
Describing Rocky slipping out of worn-out boots.
Went barefoot down the trail
Choosing to walk barefoot along a path or journey.
Chain around your neck catching the silver in your hair
Having a chain with silver, possibly symbolizing something significant or valuable.
Asked you a question and you took your little pause
Posing a question to Rocky and receiving a contemplative pause as a response.
Look beyond the horizon I'll be waiting just across
Expressing readiness to be there for Rocky, even if it means waiting a distance away.
Oh how'd you know my darling
Reiterating the wonder of how Rocky knows the speaker deeply.
Know the way into me
Questioning Rocky's understanding of the speaker's inner self again.
Won't you come back at least for a little while
Requesting Rocky's return for companionship, repeating the plea from earlier.
Let me be there
Asking to be present with Rocky, reiterating the earlier request.
How'd you know my darling
Repeating the curiosity about how Rocky understands the speaker deeply.
Know the way into me
Questioning Rocky's comprehension of the speaker's inner self again, repeated from earlier lines.
Won't you come back at least for a little while
Reiterating the request for Rocky's brief return for companionship.
Let me be there when you go
Repeating the plea to be part of Rocky's journey or experience, as stated before.
