Lyrics
Baby's driving too fast
Baby is driving recklessly fast.
She says she's got to get away
She expresses a need to escape.
Yeah she needs somewhere
She seeks a place with expansive skies where she can feel unafraid.
Where the sky is wide
Desire for wide-open spaces.
And she won't feel afraid
She wants to feel secure and unafraid in her environment.
Baby's driving out late
She's driving out late at night.
She says that she just feels so lost
Expresses a feeling of being lost.
She'll be back when the sun comes up
She plans to return in the morning.
And she can't see the stars
She cannot see guidance or hope in her current situation.
Soon you will be walking down
Anticipation of a positive future moment on Roosan St.
Roosan St again and you will feel alright
Reassurance that things will get better.
You'll be dancing on the line
Metaphorical reference to finding balance or a middle ground.
Dancing because you feel alive
Feeling vibrant and alive through dancing.
Yeah that's right
Affirmation of the previous statement.
Baby's coming home
Reiteration that Baby is returning home.
Baby's driving too fast
Repetition of Baby's reckless driving.
And she don't' want to know whichw ay
She's avoiding knowing her direction.
Yeah she's read enough rock & roll
Knowledge from experiences in rock & roll about living in the present moment.
To know that it's right now that counts
Emphasis on the importance of the current time.
Baby's driving too fast
Continuation of Baby's reckless driving.
But she don't really understand
She's confused about her dissatisfaction despite having what she needs.
Why she's got everything she needs
A paradox of having necessities but lacking fulfillment.
But nothing she really wants
Anticipation of a positive future moment on Roosan St.
Soon you will be walking down
Reassurance about a better future.
Roosan St again and you will feel alright
Reiteration of feeling better on Roosan St.
You'll be dancing on the line
Continued metaphorical expression of finding balance.
Dancing because you feel alive
Embracing life through dancing.
Yeah that's right
Confirmation of feeling alive and vibrant.
Baby's coming home
Restatement of Baby's return home.
