Girl in a Car
Journey South: A Girl's Escape Through Frozen Mississippi
Lyrics
Big wet snow the day I left
Leaving on a day with heavy snowfall
Didn't stick around like me, I guess
Someone else didn't stay behind, contrasting with the speaker's departure
Half a tank of gas, money well spent
Using half of the available fuel, implying a purposeful journey
Mississippi was a frozen wreck
Describing the harsh conditions in Mississippi due to freezing weather
I'm still in love with you
Expressing continued feelings of love
I'm going south, I'm going crazy
Heading south, possibly indicating a search for warmth or change
What else am I supposed to do
Questioning what else can be done in the given circumstances
I'm just a girl in a car, leaving
Identifying as a girl in a car, emphasizing the act of leaving
Shivering on a bridge with a cigarette
Physically uncomfortable on a bridge, highlighting a challenging situation
Making sure the sun still sets
Ensuring the continuation of life by observing the sunset
I look before I leap
Exercising caution and foresight in decision-making
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Referencing a common bedtime prayer, seeking protection
I'm still in love with you
Reiterating the enduring romantic feelings
I'm going south, I'm going crazy
Persisting in the journey, possibly despite challenges
What else am I supposed to do
Pondering the limited options in the given circumstances
I'm just a girl in a car, leaving
Emphasizing the departure of a girl in a car
Sunday morning hit the shore
Describing a serene Sunday morning by the shore
Gulf of Mexico never seemed so pure
Highlighting the purity of the Gulf of Mexico
Sit and watch the tide roll in
Engaging in contemplation while watching the tide
And I turn west, another road begins
Choosing a new road, symbolizing a fresh journey
I'm still in love with you
Reaffirming the enduring love despite the journey
I'm going south, I'm going crazy
Continuing the journey south, despite potential challenges
What else am I supposed to do
Expressing a sense of being constrained by circumstances
I'm just a girl in a car, leaving
Reiterating the identity of a girl leaving in a car
