Hwy 1
Journey of Love: Hwy 1 Chronicles
Lyrics
Well the sunrise gleams bright over the Wheatland
The sunrise is bright and beautiful over the Wheatland area.
And the big Living Sky leads on for miles
The expansive sky extends for miles, creating a sense of vastness.
And not a thing to cross my mind in the stillness so sublime
The speaker experiences a peaceful and serene state of mind with nothing disturbing their thoughts.
That could turn me away from that Old Prairie Road
There's nothing that could divert the speaker from the allure of the Old Prairie Road.
It wasn’t just a way back home, it was a way of life
The Old Prairie Road signifies more than just a route home; it embodies a lifestyle.
Everything I ever was or thought could become
The road represents the potential for personal growth and identity.
Just an old gravel road heading southbound
It's a nostalgic reference to an old gravel road heading in a southern direction.
At a turnoff sign, “head East on Hwy 1”
A sign directs towards Highway 1, indicating a change in direction or journey.
When I hit the open road back in ’14
The speaker embarked on an open road journey in 2014.
And I took that ol’ Trans Am out in the Sun
They drove a Trans Am car under the sunlight.
And when my dad gave me the keys to her before I left all on my own
The speaker's father gave them the car keys before their independent journey, promising to be there upon their return.
He said, “Don’t you worry son, I’ll be here when you get home.”
The father expresses reassurance and support for the speaker's journey.
And I can still hear his voice, I can still see his face
The memories of the father's voice and face remain vivid in the speaker's mind.
The depth of a father’s love - held strong for his son
Emphasis on the enduring strength of a father's love for his son.
And he kept his word true from all those years ago
The father remained true to his promise when the speaker returned.
When I came back home a-rolling on Hwy 1
Returning home by traveling along Highway 1 symbolizes completing a significant journey.
Well the highway led on and my love was growing strong
The love for someone grows stronger while traveling along the highway.
As I drove on my way back to you
The speaker is driving back to someone they love.
And I had brought the ring with me, to ask if you’d agree
The speaker carries an engagement ring, planning to propose.
And you were saying ‘yes’ as I got down on my knee
The beloved agrees to marry as the speaker proposes.
Don’t know where the road will go, don’t know what the future holds
Uncertainty about the future journey but optimism about finding their way together.
I guess we’ll find our way when all is said and done
Confidence in overcoming challenges together once decisions are made.
So we’ll go hand in hand, and take it day by day
Commitment to facing the future together, taking each day as it comes.
As we set off on the road down Hwy 1
Starting a new journey together on Highway 1 as a couple.
Yeah we’ll set off on the road down Hwy 1
Reiteration of starting their shared journey on Highway 1.
We can find our way somewhere on Hwy 1
Expressing confidence in finding their path while traveling on Highway 1.
