Real Gone
American Spirit on the Road: Unveiling the Meaning of 'Real Gone'
Lyrics
I'm American made but I like Chevrolet
I embrace my American identity and have a preference for Chevrolet cars.
My momma taught me wrong from right.
My mother instilled in me a sense of morality, distinguishing right from wrong.
I was born in the South
I was born in the Southern part of the United States.
Sometimes I have a big mouth
At times, I tend to speak indiscreetly or impulsively.
When I see something that I don't like
If I encounter something I dislike, I feel compelled to express my opinion.
I gotta say it.
I vocalize my thoughts and opinions when I feel the need to do so.
Well, we've been driving this road for a mighty long time
We have been on this journey for a significant duration.
Paying no mind to the signs
We disregard warning signs while continuing our journey.
Well, this neighborhood's changed
The neighborhood has undergone changes and transformations.
It's all been rearranged
Everything has been reorganized or reshuffled in this area.
We left that team somewhere behind.
We have left a particular group or team in the past.
Slow down, you're gonna crash,
A caution to slow down, implying potential consequences or dangers ahead.
Baby you're a-screaming it's a blast, blast, blast
There's excitement or enjoyment in the recklessness, expressed through screams.
Look out babe, you've got your blinders on
A warning to be aware, as the person is oblivious to certain things.
Everybody's looking for a way to get real gone
Everyone is seeking a way to escape reality or live in a carefree manner.
Real gone.
Reiterating the desire to be genuinely carefree and liberated.
Real gone.
Repeating the idea of being truly carefree.
But there's a new cat in town
A new influential figure has emerged in the area.
He's got high-faded friends
This person has influential and respected acquaintances.
Thinks he's gonna change history
Believes he can make a significant impact on history.
You think you know him so well
Others might think they understand this person well.
Yeah you think he's so swell
Despite perceptions, he is merely continuing a pre-existing narrative.
But he's just perpetuatin' prophecy
A reflection on the idea that the person is not as unique as perceived but rather perpetuating established patterns.
Slow down,
A repetition of the caution to slow down, emphasizing its importance.
