Lyrics
ain't lookin' for trouble
Expressing a lack of desire for trouble or conflict.
I can't stay here tonight
Unable to stay in the current place for the night.
I got to leave here on the double
Feeling the need to leave quickly and urgently.
If I want to see the morning light
Highlighting the urgency to leave to ensure survival until morning.
Don't need no pistol for the tickets
Not requiring a weapon for the journey, suggesting a non-violent departure.
I've got just enough to get us down the line
Having just enough resources for the journey ahead.
I don't know what happens next
Uncertainty about what will happen in the immediate future.
Your guess is just as good as mine
Stating that others' predictions are as good as the speaker's.
Move with me Magdalene
Inviting Magdalene to move or travel together.
I'm tired of the same old scene
Expressing weariness with the current routine or situation.
There's a greyhound leaving at midnight
Referring to a specific bus departure time at midnight.
If you came with me it'd be like a dream
Suggesting that being with Magdalene on the journey would be like a dream.
Come on Magdalene
Encouraging Magdalene to join the speaker.
Move with me Magdalene
Reiterating the invitation for Magdalene to move or travel together.
I've heard Mexico is easy
Implying that going to Mexico is a simple and appealing option.
I wouldn't stay here if I could
Expressing a strong desire to leave the current place.
Don't come along just to please you
Advising against joining the journey solely for the speaker's sake.
Let's go while the going's good
Suggesting the need to leave while the conditions are favorable.
Move with me Magdalene
Repeating the invitation for Magdalene to move or travel together.
I'm tired of the same old scene
Reiterating weariness with the current situation or lifestyle.
Let's go down to San Miguel
Suggesting a specific destination, San Miguel, as a desired change.
Let's go be somebody else tonight
Encouraging a transformation into someone else for the night.
Come on Magdalene
Repeated encouragement for Magdalene to join the speaker.
There's a greyhound leaving at midnight
Reiterating the specific bus departure time at midnight.
If you came with me it'd be like a dream
Reiterating the idea that being with Magdalene on the journey would be like a dream.
Come on Magdalene
Encouraging Magdalene to move or travel together once again.
Move with me Magdalene
Final repetition of the invitation for Magdalene to join the speaker.
