Alabama Highway
Homeward Bound: Lucie Tiger's Journey on Alabama Highway
Lyrics
I've been gone too long, you all look like strangers to me
I've been away for an extended period, and now the people around me seem unfamiliar.
I think you'll all agree it's time I took myself home
I believe everyone will agree that it's time for me to return to my home.
Cause I need to make sure, that I don't forget your name
I need to ensure that I remember your name.
That I don't forget the ways you made me feel like someone
I must not forget how you made me feel important or valued.
Gonna take that clabama Highway
I plan to travel on the Alabama Highway.
Gonna hope this drive don't take too long
I hope this journey won't be excessively long.
Think I left my soul down in the heartland
I feel like I've lost a part of myself in the heartland (symbolic of a place), but I'm on my way back.
But I'm coming home, yeah I'm coming home
I'm returning home, confirming it once more.
Oh take me home
An emotional plea to be taken back home.
Feel like I'm walking wounded, don't know which direction to turn
Feeling emotionally hurt and lost, uncertain about the right path to choose.
Feel like I got time to burn, but it's running out
Despite feeling like there's ample time, there's a realization that time is slipping away.
Cause you know deep down, I'm starting to feel this ache
Acknowledging an internal pain that's growing, prompting the decision to head back home.
So I know I gotta make tracks for home
Realizing the necessity to start the journey back home.
Gonna take that clabama Highway
Reiteration of the intention to take the Alabama Highway.
Gonna hope this drive don't take too long
Expressing hope for a swift journey.
Think I left my soul down in the heartland
Reiterating the feeling of losing a part of oneself in a specific place, likely metaphorical.
But I'm coming home, yeah I'm coming home
Despite feeling lost, the determination to return home is firm.
Oh take me home, take me home, take me home, oh take me home
An emphatic plea to be taken back home.
cnd I don't want to say another goodbye
Expressing the desire to avoid saying goodbye again.
I don't want to hear you say that the time'll fly by
Not wanting to hear assurances that time will pass quickly.
I don't think you got whiskey strong enough to fix
Doubting that anything strong enough, like whiskey, can ease the pain or feeling of loss in the heart.
The feeling in my heart when I'm feeling like this
Describing the intense emotional state felt when in this particular situation.
Gonna take that clabama Highway
Repeated intent to take the Alabama Highway.
Gonna hope this drive don't take too long
Reiterating the desire for a swift journey.
Think I left my soul down in the heartland
Reemphasizing the feeling of losing a part of oneself in a particular place.
But I'm coming home, yeah I'm coming home
Despite feeling lost, reconfirming the decision to return home.
Gonna take that clabama Highway
Repetition of the intent to take the Alabama Highway.
Gonna hope this drive don't take too long
Reiteration of the desire for a quick journey.
Think I left my soul down in the heartland
Reemphasizing the feeling of losing a part of oneself in a specific place.
But I'm coming home, yeah I'm coming home
Despite feeling lost, reaffirming the decision to return home.
Oh take me home, take me home, take me home, oh take me home
An emphatic plea to be taken back home.
