Lyrics
Get your house in order,
Emphasizing the need to organize and prepare oneself.
before the evening comes.
Before the end of the day or a significant event.
Get your house in order,
Reiteration of the importance of getting one's affairs in order.
before the evening comes.
Urgency in completing preparations before a crucial time.
No more reasons, no more sighs,
No more excuses or expressions of disappointment.
you took the job, without the supplies,
Accepting a responsibility without the necessary resources.
get your house in order,
Repeated emphasis on organizing one's life before a specific deadline.
before the evening comes.
Reiteration of the importance of preparedness.
Roll like a river,
Encouragement to flow through life effortlessly.
right out of bed.
Start the day with a dynamic and continuous movement.
Roll like a river,
Repetition of the idea of flowing through life.
right out of bed.
Continuing the theme of effortless movement from bed to life.
Looked to the mirror,
Checking oneself in the mirror for a moment of self-reflection.
and I could have sworn,
Expressing surprise at a sense of peace or tranquility.
I saw a little calm,
Finding a sense of calm within a turbulent situation.
in the eyes of that storm,
Metaphorically seeing peace within chaos.
roll like a river,
Reiterating the idea of effortless flow through life.
right out of bed.
Continuing the metaphor of a river flowing from bed to life.

Reiterating the composition of the songwriter's friends.
you had a feeling, I'd fail if I tried,
Expecting failure if attempting something without proper preparation.
I said hello to Tennessee, and never stood in line,
Choosing a path without waiting in line, possibly indicating independence.
