Western Sun
Chasing Home in the Western Sun: A Journey of Longing and Discovery
Lyrics
The fog's creepin' over the mountain
The fog is slowly moving over the mountain.
As I peer out my car window
Looking out of the car window, observing the surroundings.
These wheels have been running so long
The wheels of the car have been in motion for a considerable time.
They've got me homesick for a home
Longing for a home and feeling homesick.
I crossed through the desert
Traveling through the desert.
Just to chase that rising sun
Pursuing the sunrise, perhaps symbolizing new opportunities.
But I miss California
Expressing a yearning for California.
And I'm tired of being on the run
Feeling weary of a nomadic or constantly moving lifestyle.
Ya see I'm always searching for
Always seeking a better quality of life.
The better side of life
Expressing a hope for a more positive and fulfilling existence.
I was hoping I'd find the fields of honey
Anticipating finding happiness symbolized by "fields of honey."
And grass greener on the other side
Expecting life to be better elsewhere ("grass greener on the other side").
I made my way to Atlanta
Traveled to Atlanta, possibly for enjoyment or change.
Just to have myself some fun
Having fun in Atlanta but still missing California.
But I miss California
Expressing a strong longing for California.
It don't compare to the western sun
California's beauty, especially the western sun, is incomparable.
I crossed Appalachia
Crossed Appalachia, possibly in search of something.
Just to watch the horizon
Watching the horizon, implying contemplation or seeking direction.
But I miss California
Despite the journey, still missing California.
And I'm tired of being on the run
Expressing weariness of being on the move.
I miss California
Reiterating the strong yearning for California.
And I'm tired of being on the run
Continuing to express fatigue from a transient lifestyle.
