South Train Rollin'
Wandering Souls: Escaping, Longing, and Life's Whiskey Revelations
Lyrics
Just a south train rolling
Expressing the journey of a southbound train
Rollin' and going to the city
Continuing the train's journey towards the city
And hell it's been so long since I seen that girl, she's so damn pretty
Reflecting on a long absence from a beautiful girl
I keep on driving to nowhere
Driving aimlessly with no specific destination
Keep on getting lost along the way
Getting lost along the way while driving
Now and then, I get a little bit tired of doing things quickly
Expressing occasional fatigue from rushing through life
And ain't it strange what gets revealed at the edge of a whiskey?
Noting the revelations that occur under the influence of whiskey
Well I can say for sure that the rain
Acknowledging the certainty of rain, symbolizing challenges
Will fall either way
Emphasizing that challenges will come regardless
Yeah, it's alright
Affirming that everything is acceptable despite challenges
Yeah, it's alright
Reiterating the acceptance of the situation
But I'm pretty far from gone
Acknowledging being a considerable distance from despair
I wanna walk on the beaches
Expressing a desire to experience the serene beaches
Have a smoke with Jesus and escape
Desiring a moment of reflection, possibly with religious undertones
With all the fighting and cheating
Commenting on the struggles and dishonesty in life
But it's livin' that's driving me insane
Attributing the challenges to the act of living itself
Well the lights up ahead
Observing police lights and deciding to take a turn
Turned blue and red, so I went for the turnpike
Choosing a different path when faced with authority
With the wind in my hair, I just don't care
Feeling carefree with the wind blowing through hair
It's gonna be alright
Optimistically believing that everything will be okay
I'm still drivin' the wrong way
Continuing to drive in the wrong direction
But the long way works for me
Preferring the longer route as it suits the individual
Yeah, it's alright
Reiterating that everything is alright
Yeah, doin' alright
Affirming that the current state is satisfactory
I'm pretty far from gone
Remaining distant from despair or hopelessness
But I wanna walk on the beaches
Expressing the desire for a peaceful beach walk
Have a smoke with Jesus, and escape
Repeating the desire to have a reflective moment with Jesus
With all the fighting and cheating
Commenting on the turmoil caused by conflicts and deception
Lord it's livin' thats driving me insane
Attributing the insanity to the act of living
Give 'er!
Encouraging a strong effort or performance
Yeah, doin' alright
Reiterating that everything is alright
Yeah, it's alright
Affirming the acceptance of the current state
I'm pretty far from gone
Remaining distant from despair or hopelessness
But I wanna walk on the beaches
Expressing the desire for a peaceful beach walk (repeated)
Have a smoke with Jesus, and escape
Repeating the desire to have a reflective moment with Jesus (repeated)
With all the fighting and cheating
Commenting on the turmoil caused by conflicts and deception (repeated)
But it's livin' that's driving me insane
Attributing the insanity to the act of living (repeated)
With all the fighting and cheating
Highlighting the challenges of fighting and cheating (repeated)
Lord it's livin' that's driving me insane
Reiterating that living itself is what drives one insane (repeated)
Well, it's living...
Emphasizing that the difficulties arise from the act of living
