Lyrics
I met him one day in the Rockies
I encountered him one day in the Rocky Mountains.
Where the night air tasted like wine
Describing the pleasant atmosphere with air reminiscent of wine.
The winter was hard and had me starving
The harsh winter left me hungry and in need.
When the two of them found me in time
The two individuals, California Kid and Remo, rescued me just in time.
Then one night I crashed north of Reno
I experienced a crash north of Reno after being on the road for too long.
I'd been on the road too long
Highlighting the challenges of extended travel.
Then I woke to the warmth of her fire
I woke up to the warmth of her fire, indicating a sense of comfort.
And the sweet welcome home of his song
The welcoming song of his friend made the place feel like home.
It was the California Kid and Remo
California Kid and Remo are introduced, symbolizing helpful figures.
Lending me a helping hand
They extended a helping hand to me.
It was the California Kid and Remo
Reiteration of the support provided by California Kid and Remo.
Teaching me to love
They taught me the essence of love.
And teaching me to live off the land
Additionally, they taught me to survive using resources from the land.
I thanked them and headed for Oregon
I expressed gratitude and continued my journey towards Oregon.
The trees were the walls of my home
The trees in Oregon became my metaphorical home.
But the rain soaked my bones every morning
Rain and chill intensified feelings of isolation.
And the chill made me feel more alone
Describing the emotional impact of adverse weather conditions.
And just when I thought I should end it
Contemplating ending it all, feeling a lack of purpose.
The world didn't need men like me
Realizing the world still had a place for individuals like me.
My mind heard the song of my two friends
The memory of the song by California Kid and Remo provided hope.
And the sun started shining on me
The sun shining symbolizes a positive change in circumstances.
