Pick In My Pocket
Dream Chasing with a Hundred and a Pick: Jordan Blanchard's Musical Journey
Lyrics
Stood on the porch and kissed my momma goodbye
Departing from home, bidding farewell to the speaker's mother on the porch.
Rain came down and hid the tear in my eye
Expressing hidden sadness as tears are concealed by the rain.
As she said don't forget to call when you reach Tennessee
Mother's reminder to call upon reaching Tennessee, indicating care and concern.
Dad came out and just said good luck
Father wishing good luck without much elaboration.
Shook my hand, slipped me a hundred bucks
Receiving financial support from the father - a hundred dollars, the purpose unclear.
Don't know what it's for, but Lord knows I'm gonna need it
Acknowledging the uncertainty of the future and the need for resources.
I know those big city lights are blinding
Awareness of the overwhelming and dazzling aspects of city life.
I'll try not to lose my way
Commitment to staying focused despite potential distractions.
All I wanna do is something that I love at the end of the day
Desire to engage in something beloved at the end of each day.
So I'm big dream chasing, my heart beat's racing
Pursuing ambitious dreams with heightened excitement and anticipation.
Gonna find out if I've got it
Determined to discover if the speaker possesses the required qualities.
With a hundred dollar bill and a pick in my pocket
Carrying a hundred-dollar bill and a pick, symbolizing the essentials for the journey.
I'd never been on the road that long
Embarking on a lengthy journey for the first time.
It was worth it as the rising sun
Finding the experience worthwhile as a new day begins.
Signaled a brand new start on a brand new day
Seeing the sunrise as a signal for a fresh start.
And I thought, a lot of talent comes through this town
Reflection on the abundance of talent passing through the town.
Most of them get shot right down
Acknowledging the harsh reality that many talented individuals face rejection.
I know my odds aren't good
Awareness of challenging odds but maintaining hope.
With any luck, I might break even
Expressing the desire to break even, suggesting a balanced outcome.
Yeah, these big city lights are blinding
Reiteration of the blinding effect of city lights.
I'll try not to lose my way
Commitment to staying on the right path despite challenges.
All I wanna do is something that I love at the end of the day
Yearning to engage in a passion at the end of the day.
So I'm big dream chasing, my heart beat's racing
Continuing the pursuit of big dreams with a racing heart.
Gonna find out if I've got it
Remaining determined to discover one's capabilities.
With a hundred dollar bill and a pick in my pocket
Reaffirming the essentials for the journey - a hundred dollars and a pick.
These big city lights are blinding
Reiteration of the dazzling nature of city lights.
I'll try not to lose my way
Commitment to navigating through challenges and not losing direction.
All I wanna do is something that I love at the end of the day
Desire to engage in a beloved activity at the close of the day.
So I'm big dream chasing, my heart beat's racing
Continuing the journey of chasing significant dreams with an eager heart.
Gonna find out if I've got it
Determined to discover and prove one's capabilities.
With a hundred dollar bill and a pick in my pocket
Reiterating the possession of a hundred-dollar bill and a pick.
I've got a hundred dollar bill and a pick in my pocket
Confirmation of having the essentials for the journey.
Woah-oh-oh
Exclamation, possibly indicating a moment of realization or anticipation.
