Where the Blacktop Ends
Rediscovering Life's Essence Beyond Urban Chaos
Lyrics
I'm gonna kick off my shoes and run in bare feet
I'm going to take off my shoes and run barefoot
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Where different elements of nature intersect: grass, dirt, and gravel
Goin' back to the well, gonna visit old friends
Returning to familiar places, reconnecting with old acquaintances
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends
To rejuvenate spiritually at the point where the road changes from asphalt to natural terrain
I'm lookin' down the barrel of Friday night
Anticipating the upcoming Friday night
I'm ridin' on a river of freeway lights
Driving amidst the lights of a busy highway
Goodbye city I'm country bound
Leaving the urban environment for rural areas
'Til Monday rolls around
Until the weekend concludes and the routine restarts
Gonna kick off my shoes and run in bare feet
Repeating the desire to run barefoot in a specific natural setting
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Referencing the mix of natural elements in a particular spot
Goin' back to the well, gonna visit old friends
Returning to familiar places for emotional fulfillment
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends
Seeking spiritual nourishment where the urban pavement transitions to nature
Workin' in the grind is an uphill road
Describing the struggle of work as an uphill journey
Punchin' that clock and carryin' that load
Symbolizing the daily routine and responsibilities
I bust it all week and then I'm free
Putting in effort during the week for freedom during the weekend
The weekend belongs to me
Weekend as personal time for oneself
I'm gonna kick off my shoes and run in bare feet
Reiterating the desire to be in a specific natural spot
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Emphasizing the mix of natural elements in a particular location
Goin' back to the well, gonna visit old friends
Returning to familiar places for emotional fulfillment
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends
Seeking spiritual nourishment where the urban pavement transitions to nature
So give me some fresh air, give me that farm
Desiring fresh air and a countryside environment
And give me some time with you in my arms
Yearning for quality time with a loved one
Far away from the hustle and the pressure and the noise
Expressing the wish to escape urban chaos and noise
I'm gonna kick off my shoes and run in bare feet
Repeating the desire to run barefoot in a specific natural setting
Where the grass, the dirt, the gravel all meet
Referring to the mix of natural elements in a specific location
I'm goin' back to the well, gonna visit old friends
Returning to familiar places for emotional fulfillment
And feed my soul (you betcha)
Seeking spiritual nourishment where the urban pavement transitions to nature (expressed with affirmation)
I'm gonna kick off my shoes and run in bare feet
Reiterating the desire to be in a specific natural spot
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Emphasizing the mix of natural elements in a particular location
I'm goin' back to the well, gonna visit old friends
Returning to familiar places for emotional fulfillment
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends
Seeking spiritual nourishment where the urban pavement transitions to nature
Where the blacktop ends
Reaffirming the specific location where the transition occurs
Where the blacktop ends
-Where the blacktop ends
