Lord Willing
Embracing Life's Blessings: Larry Fleet's 'Lord Willing' Reflections
Lyrics
Well, the sun came up this morning
Expressing the start of a new day, a fresh beginning.
And the coffee in the pot's still pouring
Highlighting the continuity of daily routines, particularly the brewing of coffee.
No, I wouldn't complain if every day was just like this
Expressing contentment with the current state of affairs and a desire for similar days.
There's a red bird singing in the backyard
Observing and enjoying the natural elements, symbolized by a red bird singing.
The kids running laps like NASCAR
Depicting the joy and energy of children playing energetically.
Just watching you smile, girl, this is 'bout as good as it gets
Expressing happiness in witnessing the partner's smile as a peak moment.
Lord willing, baby, I'll keep waking up next to you
Expressing a hope or desire for a future, accompanied by divine approval.
This truck'll keep running like it did brand new
Wishing for the longevity and well-functioning of important aspects of life, like a truck.
And blessings come down and my prayers keep getting through the ceiling
Expressing gratitude for blessings and successful prayers.
Lord willing, these little you and me's keep growing strong
Hopeful anticipation for the growth and strength of relationships.
The hard times don't stick around too long
Belief that challenging times will be temporary.
And I can make living, even if I don't make a killing, Lord willing
Confidence in making a living, regardless of extraordinary financial success.
And Lord willing, there's some miles left in these old boots
Expressing hope for the future adventures, symbolized by "miles left in these old boots."
And some count on buddies I'm close to
Counting on reliable friendships and simple pleasures.
Fish still bite and the beer's still cold 'til I get to the other side
Listing enjoyable activities like fishing and having a cold beer.
Lord willing, baby, I'll keep waking up next to you
Reiteration of a desire to wake up next to the partner with divine approval.
This truck'll keep running like it did brand new
Wishing for the sustained functionality of important elements, like a truck.
And blessings come down and my prayers keep getting through the ceiling
Grateful for continuous blessings and successful prayers.
Lord willing, these little you and me's keep growing strong
Hope for the growth and strength of personal relationships.
The hard times don't stick around too long
Belief in the transitory nature of difficult times.
And I can make living, even if I don't make a killing, Lord willing
Confident in sustaining a livelihood, not necessarily achieving great wealth.
I'll always stay proud of the roots I planted
Expressing pride in one's origins and the importance of staying grounded.
Never take one more kiss for granted
Valuing each moment, particularly romantic ones, without taking them for granted.
Little less stubborn and more forgiving
Expressing a willingness to be more adaptable and forgiving in relationships.
Lord willing, Lord willing
A repetition emphasizing a desire or hope with divine approval.
Lord willing, baby, I'll keep waking up next to you
Reiterating the desire to wake up beside the partner with divine consent.
My truck'll keep running like it did brand new
Wishing for the continuous functionality of important elements, like a truck.
And blessings come down and my prayers keep getting through the ceiling
Expressing gratitude for blessings and successful prayers.
Lord willing, these little you and me's keep growing strong
Hopeful anticipation for the growth and strength of relationships.
The hard times don't stick around too long
Belief that challenging times will be temporary.
And I can make living, even if I don't make a killing, Lord willing
Confidence in making a living, regardless of extraordinary financial success.
With the good Lord willing, Lord willing
Ending with a repetition of the hope or desire for a positive future with divine approval.
