Wagon Wheels
Journey through Time: Wagon Wheels' Poetic Odyssey
Lyrics
Trains rushin', here and there
Trains rushing, hectic movement and activity
Flying machines flashin' through the air
Futuristic imagery of airplanes in motion
Automobiles all shiny and new
New and polished automobiles on display
Poor folks with nothing else to do
Idle time for the less privileged
But when I wanna travel
Expressing a desire to journey back to nature
To the soil I plead
Appealing to the earth, a connection to nature
I climb on my wagon
Choosing a simple means of travel, a wagon
And see
The act of seeing and experiencing
Wagon wheels, wagon wheels
Repetition of the phrase "Wagon wheels"
Keep on a turnin' wagon wheels
The enduring and continuous nature of wagon wheels
Roll along, sing your song
Instructing the wagon wheels to carry on and sing
Carry me over the hill
Symbolic journey over obstacles or challenges
Go on mule, there's a steamer at the landin'
Transition to a mule-driven wagon, reference to work
Waiting for this cotton to load
Highlighting the waiting time for a task to complete
Go on mule, the boss is understandin'
Understanding and patience in the work environment
There's a pasture at the end of each road
Promising opportunities at the conclusion of efforts
Wagon wheels, wagon wheels
Reiteration of the enduring nature of wagon wheels
Keep on a turnin' wagon wheels
Continued motion and persistence of wagon wheels
Roll along, sing your song
Encouraging the wagon wheels to sing as they move
Wagon wheels, carry me home
Wagon wheels as a means of returning home
Wagon wheels, carry me home
Reaffirmation of wagon wheels leading back home
