Appalachian Troubadour
Riding Through Life's Trials: Appalachian Wisdom
Lyrics
Appalachian Troubadour, what are you waiting for?
Encouraging the Appalachian Troubadour to take action and not delay.
Saddle up your horse and ride, don't stop until daylight
Urging to keep moving forward on a journey, without stopping until daylight.
I know the times been tough, I know you've seen better days
Acknowledging challenging times and acknowledging past struggles.
I know you've poured yourself out into a broken vase
Recognizing the emotional investment in something broken or unrewarding.
Don't grow weary, keep the faith
Encouraging resilience and maintaining faith despite difficulties.
The Lord takes care of his saints
Expressing faith in divine care for those who persevere.
All you gotta do is keep your head up friend
Advising to stay positive and hopeful, implying that love will return.
And you will find love again
Assuring that love will be rediscovered by keeping a positive outlook.
Floyd County Romeo, she might be at your show
Referring to the Troubadour as a romantic figure in Floyd County.
Here to listen to your songs, it might not be long
Suggesting that someone may attend the Troubadour's show to connect.
Till the winds of change start to blow your way
Anticipating positive changes coming to the Troubadour's life.
Till the sun comes out on a rainy day
Symbolizing hope and optimism with the sun emerging after rain.
Or it might be longer still
Recognizing uncertainty about the duration of challenges.
Either way, I know it will
Expressing confidence that positive changes will eventually happen.
All you gotta do is keep your head up friend
Reiterating the importance of maintaining a positive mindset.
And you will find love again
Reassuring that love will be rediscovered with a positive attitude.
No, you can't be dwelling on the past
Advising against dwelling on past mistakes or regrets.
Or the things you did or didn't say
Emphasizing the futility of obsessing over things said or unsaid.
I think it's probably you who said it best
Attributing a wise statement to the Troubadour about accepting reality.
"Ah she would never have it that way"
Quoting the Troubadour's perspective that things wouldn't have changed.
All you gotta do is keep your head up friend
Encouraging to remain positive, suggesting love will return.
And you will find love again
Reiterating the belief that maintaining hope will lead to rediscovering love.
All you gotta do is keep your head up friend
Final reminder to keep a positive mindset for the eventual return of love.
And you will find love again
Reassurance that maintaining a positive outlook will bring love back.
