Back Road Paradise
Rural Reverie: Embracing the Soulful Symphony of Back Road Paradise
Lyrics
Black crow sitting on the barbed wire
A black crow is perched on the barbed wire.
Telephone poles flashing by
Passing telephone poles are visible in quick succession.
Sun coming up like a prayer across the field
The sunrise resembles a prayer spreading across the field.
I got the windows rolled down in my ford truck
The singer is driving a Ford truck with rolled-down windows.
I'm breathing in the dirt and dust
The singer is inhaling the dirt and dust of the surroundings.
Oh man I love the way it feels
The singer expresses love for the sensation.
Oh the way it feels
Reiteration of the pleasurable feeling.
Rain coming down on a tin roof
Rain is falling on a tin roof, creating a rhythmic sound.
The sound of a slow freight train passing by
The sound of a slow-moving freight train passing nearby.
Sipping on a beer in the cool shade
The singer is relaxed, enjoying a beer in a comfortable shade.
This is where I'll live until I die
Expressing contentment with living in this place until death.
On this back road paradise
The described setting is referred to as a 'back road paradise.'
You can have those city nights
Contrasting preference for rural tranquility over city nightlife.
Concrete and neon lights
Discomfort with the urban environment depicted through concrete and neon lights.
It's not for me it left me cold
Expresses how the city environment doesn't resonate with the singer.
Give me an acre maybe two
The desire for a modest plot of land, not needing much.
A kitchen window with a wide view
The singer cherishes a kitchen window with a broad view.
It ain't much but it's my home
Although modest, the described home holds sentimental value.
Yeah home sweet home
Reiterating the sentiment of 'home sweet home.'
Rain coming down on a tin roof
Repetition of rain falling on a tin roof, reinforcing the setting.
The sound of a slow freight train passing by
Reiteration of the passing train's sound in the vicinity.
Sipping on a beer in the cool shade
Repeated image of relaxation with a beer in the shade.
This is where I'll live until I die
Reassertion of commitment to living in this serene place.
On this back road paradise
Reiteration of this location as a 'back road paradise.'
Crickets singing in the moonlight
The ambiance includes crickets chirping under the moonlight.
The sound of a slow freight train rolling by
Continued presence of the slow-moving freight train.
Picking out a song in the cool shade
The singer enjoys picking out a song while in a comfortable setting.
This is where I'll live until I die
Reaffirmation of the commitment to staying here.
Yeah sipping on a beer in the cool shade
Enjoying a beer in the relaxing shade, emphasizing contentment.
This is where I'll live until I die
Reiterating the commitment to live in this place until death.
On this back road paradise
Reiteration that this place is a 'back road paradise.'
Back road paradise
