West Coast Blues
Journey of Longing: East Coast Baby, West Coast Blues
Lyrics
I got a baby on the East Coast
I have a significant other on the East Coast.
I got a gig goin' on the West Coast
I am involved in a musical performance or job on the West Coast.
Suitcase full of sorrow
I carry a suitcase filled with sorrows, suggesting emotional baggage.
Tired of payin' traveling dues
I am weary of the hardships of constant travel and its associated costs.
Lonely in the evenin'
I feel lonely during the evening.
No good make believin'
It's futile to pretend or imagine things that are not good.
Anyone else could make me happy
No one else can bring me happiness except for someone special.
Like my little darlin'
Referencing affection for a loved one, likely a romantic partner.
One of these days I'm gonna pack my
At some point, I plan to leave and return to my origin.
Bags and go way back home
Expressing a desire to go back home where comfort is found.
Where I can see my baby on the East Coast
To reunite with my beloved on the East Coast.
I got the blues
Feeling a sense of sadness or melancholy, often associated with the blues genre.
I got a baby on the East Coast
Reiteration of having a partner on the East Coast.
I got a gig goin' on the West Coast
Continuation of involvement in a West Coast gig.
Suitcase full of sorrow
Repeating the theme of carrying emotional burdens.
Tired of payin' traveling dues
Re-emphasis on the weariness of paying dues related to travel.
Lonely in the evenin'
Reiteration of loneliness in the evening.
No good make believin'
Reaffirmation that pretending or false beliefs are not beneficial.
Anyone else could make me happy
Restating that only a specific person can bring happiness.
Like my little darlin'
Repeating the affection for a special someone.
One of these days I'm gonna pack my
Reiterating the intention to return home in the future.
Bags and go way back home
Reiterating the desire to go back home for comfort.
Where I can see my baby on the East Coast
Reunion with the loved one on the East Coast is a source of solace.
I got the blues
Reiteration of feeling the blues or sadness.
I got a baby on the East Coast
Repeating the presence of a significant other on the East Coast.
I got a gig goin' on the West Coast

Suitcase full of sorrow
Repeating the concept of carrying emotional burdens.
Tired of payin' traveling dues

No good make believin'

Anyone else could make me happy
