Lyrics
Without a song the day would never end
Without a song, the day would seem endless and lacking fulfillment.
Without a song the road would never bend
Without a song, life's journey would lack variety and excitement.
When things go wrong a man ain't got a friend
During difficult times, a person feels lonely and lacks support without a song.
Without a song
The central idea that life is incomplete or lacking without the presence of music.
That field of corn would never see a plow
A metaphor suggesting that without music, potential productivity remains untapped.
That field of corn would be deserted now
Continuing the metaphor, an unused or unfulfilled field without the influence of a song.
A man is born but he's no good no how
Expressing a pessimistic view of human nature, suggesting inherent flaws without music.
Without a song
Reiterating the importance of music in completing the human experience.
I got my trouble and woe but, sure as I know, the Jordan will roll
Despite personal troubles, there is a certainty that positive experiences (like the Jordan River rolling) will come.
And I'll get along as long as a song, strong in my soul
Emphasizing the resilience gained through the presence of a strong song in one's soul.
I'll never know what makes the rain to fall
An acknowledgment of life's mysteries, accepting the unknown factors that contribute to events like rain.
I'll never know what makes that grass so tall
Highlighting the inexplicable growth and beauty in nature without a full understanding.
I only know there ain't no love at all
Expressing a sense of disillusionment or lack of understanding about love without the influence of a song.
Without a song
Reiterating the theme that life lacks completeness or meaning without the presence of music.
I've-a got my trouble and woe and, sure as I know, the Jordan will roll
Despite ongoing challenges, there is a certainty that positive experiences will continue.
And I'll get along as long as a song, strong in my soul
Underlining the enduring strength and comfort found in the presence of a meaningful song.
I'll-a never know what makes that rain to fall
Repeating the idea of accepting the mysteries of life, such as the reasons behind rainfall.
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall
Reiterating the mystery and beauty of nature, emphasizing the unknown aspects of growth.
I only know there ain't no love at all
Reinforcing the idea that love is elusive or undefined without the influence of music.
Without a song
A final statement emphasizing the essential role of music in bringing meaning and completeness to life.
