Motorhome
Journey to Freedom: Tales of Road, Love, and Uncharted Paths
Lyrics
if we make it back to new york
If we successfully return to New York
we’ll tell them all about new mexico
We will share our experiences in New Mexico
thanksgiving in the walmart parking lot
Describing spending Thanksgiving in a Walmart parking lot
transmission busted on our motorhome
The transmission of our motorhome is broken
we’ll tell them how we almost made a living
Sharing about almost making a living
ten thousand miles like a couple dogs
Traveling ten thousand miles like a couple of dogs
howling every night at someone different
Expressing the experience of howling every night at different places
running home just the two of us
Running home with only the two of us
driving through wyoming in the wind
Driving through Wyoming amidst the wind
we counted out a hundred antelope
Counting a hundred antelope during the journey
we didn’t have a place to be right then
Not having a specific destination at that moment
so we pulled over and that was home
Choosing to stop and make a place our home
the million ways there were to make our living
Reflecting on the various ways they could make a living
the million things we filled those days up with
Recalling the multitude of activities that filled their days
when we stopped asking everyone’s permission
When they stopped seeking permission from others
and we found out it wasn’t theirs to give
Realizing that permission wasn't something others could give
if they’re talking now and i’m not listening
If others are talking and the speaker is not listening
if i’m staring out at the road
If the speaker is gazing at the road
you know it’s probably her i’m missing
Indicating the likelihood of missing a significant person (probably her)
our dear departed motorhome
Referencing their motorhome that is no longer with them
