Driving Through Love's Red Lights: Jimmy Reed's Signals of Longing
Lyrics
Red light of town life
Red light symbolizes the city or urban life.
You know the green light gotta go
The green light signifies the need to move on or leave.
Red light is a stop light
Red light represents a stop, a halt.
You know the green light gotta go
Reiteration of the need to depart or move away.
Well honey your light is a signal
The partner's presence serves as a signal to move towards their home.
I gonna be drive towards your home
Expresses the intent to head to the partner's residence.
I want to see you early in the morning baby
Desire to meet the partner early in the morning.
I'm gonna knock up on your door
Planning to knock on the partner's door.
I want to see you early in the morning baby
Reiteration of the desire to see the partner in the morning.
I'm gonna knock up on your door
Planning to knock on the partner's door again.
Well now some man told me
Someone informed the speaker that the baby (partner) doesn't live at that location anymore.
My baby don't live there no more
Confirmation that the partner has moved from the mentioned place.
Then I started on driving
Speaker starts driving, possibly in search of the partner.
I'm might be driving awful slow
Driving slowly or hesitantly.
Well I started on to driving
Reiteration of the slow driving, possibly indicating disappointment or sadness.
Man I was drive driving awful slow
Continuing to drive slowly, feeling the impact of the situation.
You know it hurt me so bad
Expressing deep emotional pain due to the partner's absence.
My baby don't live there no more
Reiteration of the partner's absence and the emotional distress caused by it.
