Broken Arm in Oregon
Journey Through Life's Trials: Broken Arm in Oregon
Lyrics
Well this season it reminds me
The current season brings back memories for me
Of being down and out in Carolina
Reminds me of a time when I felt down and out in Carolina
I drove back to California and I took my time
I returned to California and took my time
Had a friend who rode beside me
Had a friend accompanying me during the journey
And when we made camp he would sing for me
My friend sang for me when we made camp
It seems like such an inconsequential thing
Seemingly insignificant things can hold meaning
Is it any wonder
Questioning if it's surprising
It gets hard for me
Expressing difficulty in coping
A lot gets lost on me
Feeling like a lot of things elude understanding
I keep lookin
Continuing to search or seek something
I took a tumble on a mountain
Experiencing a fall on a mountain
And it rattled up a few things
It caused some disruption within me
But I was singin again by the time I made it down
Despite the fall, I regained my spirits and started singing again
Now I fight the urge to ramble
Resisting the urge to wander or travel aimlessly
With every three-egg breakfast scramble
Making a reference to a breakfast scramble while contemplating life
And I marvel at hot water as it leaves the tap
Appreciating simple comforts like hot water
Is it any wonder
Questioning if something is surprising
It gets hard for me
Expressing difficulty in coping
A lot gets lost on me
Feeling like a lot of things elude understanding
I keep lookin'
Continuing to search or seek something
Heard a woman go on record
Heard a woman speak publicly about a traumatic experience
Sayin' there's one night that wrecked her
Describing a night that profoundly affected the woman
When a young man closed his hand across her mouth
Recounting an incident of assault or violation
Now every room she sleeps in
The woman feels the need to plan for safety when sleeping
She's gotta map out her escape plan
Constantly preparing to escape if needed
Imagine all those hours devoted to bigger things
Reflecting on the time spent dealing with significant issues
Is it any wonder
Questioning if something is surprising
It gets hard for me
Expressing difficulty in coping
A lot gets lost on me
Feeling like a lot of things elude understanding
