Lyrics
I can't help but wonder if what I'm doin I'm gonna regret
I'm uncertain if my current actions will lead to future regrets.
Left everything I love hoping for something better up ahead
I left behind everything I love, hoping for a better future.
My family, my girl, and my home
Left my family, my girl, and my home.
Thought I had to hit the road
Believed I had to hit the road for some reason.
Now I'm stuck here bearing this heavy load all on my own
Feeling trapped and burdened, handling this weight alone.
Chasin' Melodies, Chasin' memories
Pursuing melodies and memories.
Out of my head with another shot of bourbon
Intoxicated, possibly to escape or cope with challenges.
Chasin' dreams, Chasin' things,
Chasing dreams and things that seem elusive.
That I can't catch and maybe I shouldn't
Questioning the wisdom of pursuing certain aspirations.
Maybe the life I needed was the one I already broke
Realizing that the life I needed might be the one I've already damaged.
Chasin' smoke
Possibly referring to chasing something intangible or unattainable.
Happiness can be a hard thing to find
Expressing the difficulty of finding happiness.
I've been searchin led by this crazy heart of mine
Searching guided by a passionate but erratic heart.
I don't know if I'll ever get there
Uncertain if the search for happiness will be successful.
I keep askin' God to point me where
Seeking guidance from God on the right path.
He wants me to go but it's hard to hear him when I'm out here
Struggling to hear God's guidance amid the challenges.
Chasin' Melodies, Chasin' memories
Continuing the pursuit of melodies and memories.
Out of my head with another shot of bourbon
Intoxicated again, potentially as a recurring coping mechanism.
Chasin' dreams, Chasin' things,
Chasing dreams and things that remain elusive.
That I can't catch and maybe I shouldn't
Raising doubts about the wisdom of pursuing certain aspirations.
Maybe the life I needed was the one I already broke
Reiterating the idea that the needed life may be irreparably damaged.
Chasin' smoke
Possibly emphasizing the futility of chasing something intangible.
It's a never ending search
Highlighting the ongoing, never-ending nature of the search.
That's one thing that I've learned
Expressing a lesson learned about the perpetual nature of the pursuit.
Chasin' Melodies, Chasin' memories
Continuing the pursuit of melodies and memories despite challenges.
Out of my head with another shot of bourbon
Repeating the theme of using alcohol to cope or escape mentally.
Chasin' dreams, Chasin' things,
Chasing dreams and elusive things that may be better left unchased.
That I can't catch and maybe I shouldn't
Questioning the wisdom of pursuing certain aspirations.
Maybe the life I needed was the one I already broke
Reiterating the idea that the needed life may be irreparably damaged.
Chasin' smoke, Chasin' smoke
Continuing to chase something intangible or elusive.
