The Road
Rolling Through Life's Twists: Josh Meloy's Journey on 'The Road'
Lyrics
Well I've tripped and I've stumbled
Reflecting on past mistakes and challenges
And I found most of my troubles
Acknowledging that most troubles arise from personal decisions
Are raised out of the
Hinting at the source or origin of troubles
Decisions that I've made
Consequences of decisions made in the past
And they seem to always turn around
Noticing a pattern of troubles coming back around
When the mood on my bad habit's now
Bad habits affecting mood and outcomes
Ain't it funny how it all works out that way
Reflecting on the ironic nature of how things unfold
Yeah this time I'm rolling down the road
Heading down a path again, possibly without needing love
And I ain't need your loving
Rejecting the need for love on the current journey
Trip me up like a man broken down
Comparing oneself to a broken man needing no help
And at times I lose all
Experiencing moments of losing control
Control and I go crazy
Expressing moments of going crazy or feeling overwhelmed
Lord you twist me up too
Feeling spiritually or emotionally twisted by a force
Tight and I come unwound
Feeling tightly bound and coming undone
And these shows they just
Highlighting the financial struggles of being a performer
Don't pay the bills
Pointing out the insufficient income from performances
And fuel ain't cheap running
Noting the high cost of fuel during travels
Through these hills
Describing the challenges of navigating hills and terrains
And all the times I swore
Recalling previous intentions to change direction
That I'd turn around
Struggling to give up easily on one's goals
But I hold my reigns to give up so quick
Choosing to persist despite challenges
So I'll pick this thing till my fingers quit
Committing to the craft until physical limitations
Pay my tab and head off to another town
Wrapping up current obligations and moving forward
Yeah this time I'm rolling down the road
Continuing the journey without relying on love
And I ain't need your loving
Reiterating independence from the need for love
Trip me up leave a man broken down
Facing challenges without expecting help or love
And at times I lose all
Acknowledging moments of losing control and going crazy
Control and I go crazy
Expressing the impact of external forces on emotions
Lord you twist me up too
Feeling spiritually or emotionally twisted once again
Tight and I come unwound
Sensations of being tightly bound and unraveling
Yeah this time I'm rolling down the road
Emphasizing the continuous journey without relying on love
And I ain't need your loving
Reaffirming independence and self-sufficiency
Trip me up like a man broken down
Confronting challenges without seeking assistance or love
And at times I lose all
Revisiting moments of losing control and going crazy
Control and I go crazy
Experiencing the spiritual or emotional twisting once more
Lord you twist me up too
Feeling tightly bound and coming undone repeatedly
Tight and I come unwound
Expressing the cyclical nature of feeling bound and unraveling
