Lyrics
I'm on the road again,
I am embarking on a journey again.
Tell my friends, I might be gone for good.
Informing my friends that I might be leaving permanently.
All that's left will be these hemlock trees in the Pennsylvania woods
Only memories of hemlock trees in Pennsylvania will remain.
I gotta get out of town before she finds another man to take her hand
I need to leave town before my significant other finds a new partner.
If I stick around, it might break me down and truly be my end
Staying might lead to emotional breakdown and potential ruin.
I'll probably drink again and still pretend she never was the one
Anticipating relapse into drinking and pretending she wasn't the one.
Keep on pulling the bottle until I see the morning sun
Continuing to drink until morning, possibly as a coping mechanism.
If not her then who else could it ever be
Reflecting on whether anyone else could replace her.
If I make it to West Virginia I know I'll finally be free
Believing freedom awaits in West Virginia if I can reach there.
So I'll head on up the mountain
Planning to ascend a mountain as part of the journey.
Take a right on county line road
Taking a specific route, county line road, during the journey.
Rewrite all the stories the stores that I've always told
Intending to reshape and retell the stories I've always shared.
And all I see is green lights, but they're leading me from home
Seeing green lights, but they guide me away from home.
For my love is cursed so my heart will always roam
Expressing that my love is cursed, leading my heart to wander.
Always Roam
Reiterating the theme of constant wandering or roaming.
She's probably pissed again, she'll tell her friends I never stood a chance
Speculating that she might be upset again, acknowledging a past dance.
But I'd be quick to remind the way we locked eyes the first time we had a dance
Recalling the significant moment of locking eyes during the first dance.
So tell my mom I love her but the road it calls my name
Informing loved ones that the road is calling my name.
Tell my dad I'll make him proud and I'll be back home someday
Promising to make parents proud and return home someday.
So I'll head on up the mountain
Reiterating the intention to climb a mountain during the journey.
Take a right on county line road
Choosing a specific path, county line road, to rewrite personal narratives.
Rewrite all the stories the stores that I've always told
Emphasizing the desire to reshape the stories previously shared.
And all I see is green lights, but they're leading me from home
Noticing green lights, but recognizing they guide me away from home.
For my love is cursed so my heart will always roam
Reiterating that my love is cursed, causing my heart to constantly wander.
Always Roam
Underlining the persistent theme of always roaming or wandering.
