Lyrics
Hey, hey
Expression of attention or greeting.
Hey, hey
Continuation of the greeting or attention.
Seventy-nine dollars to my name
Reference to having a small amount of money, $79.
Staying alive by the sound of yours
Surviving by the support or presence of someone else.
Just seventy-nine miles out from your place
Being close to someone's place, 79 miles away.
Hitching a ride
Traveling by hitchhiking.
Oh, you'll see that I've changed for sure
Claiming personal growth or change.
That disguise is over
Acknowledging the end of pretending or hiding.
I can't explain the hold up
Unable to provide a clear explanation for a delay or obstacle.
My body's in Pensacola
Physically located in Pensacola.
Mind's in this gin and soda
Mentally occupied with gin and soda.
You know, some places aren't quite like you remember
Reflecting on the changed nature of certain places.
(Ah, ah)
Repetition of a vocal expression, possibly emphasizing emotion.
Seventy-nine days since God sent her
Elapsed time since a significant event or person's departure.
She says, "Mistakes don't make who we are"
Stating that mistakes do not define one's identity.
But seventy-nine less fuck ups in my book
Counting mistakes or regrets in a personal record.
Brings me to you, behind the wheel of a car
Reaching the present moment due to a calculated number of mistakes.
So it's seventy-nine lies that I'll tell for
Prepared to lie or deceive a specific number of times.
My seat in hell
Accepting a destined place of hardship or suffering.
All alone at the foot of this bar
Isolation or loneliness at a bar.
That disguise is over
Reiteration of the end of pretense or disguise.
I can't explain the hold up
Difficulty explaining a delay or obstacle.
My body's in Pensacola
Physical presence in Pensacola reiterated.
Mind's in this gin and soda, but hey
Mentally absorbed in a specific drink, gin and soda.
That disguise is over
Reiteration of the end of pretense or disguise.
I can't explain the hold up
Difficulty explaining a delay or obstacle.
My body's in Pensacola
Reiteration of physical presence in Pensacola.
Mind's in this gin and soda
Mind preoccupied with the drink, gin and soda.
You know, some places aren't quite like you remember
Reflecting on the changed nature of certain places.
Some faces here, yeah, they wear like pretenders
Observation that some individuals wear masks or act falsely.
Some days this year, man, they feel never-ending
Expressing the perception of certain days as endless.
Some places aren't quite like you remember
Reiteration of the idea that certain places have changed.
