Charlie James
Wandering Souls and Troubled Roads: Charlie James Explained
Lyrics
Well if you see Charlie James walkin' down this road
Charlie James is mentioned as a person walking down the road.
Please don't tell him which way you see me go
Asking not to disclose the speaker's whereabouts to Charlie James.
I had a whole lotta trouble
Expressing significant difficulties or challenges in life.
Since I saw you last
Acknowledging troubles since the last encounter with Charlie James.
I don't know my future
Uncertain about the future and hesitant to reveal the past.
I don't wanna tell my past
Reluctance to discuss or disclose personal history.
I had a whole lotta money
Had a substantial amount of money at some point in the past.
One day, one day
Indicating a positive change or success on one day.
On the very next day I did not have a dime
Experiencing a sudden financial downfall on the very next day.
Lookin' on down the road as far as I could see
Looking ahead with uncertainty, searching for a way forward.
Well I thought I saw my old-time used-to-be
Believing to have glimpsed a person from the past.
Well in the morning soon
Anticipating departure for Houston in the morning.
In the morning soon
Reiteration of the imminent departure in the morning.
Well I'll be leaving for Houston
Clarifying the destination as Houston.
In the morning
Confirming the morning as the time for departure.
So if you see Charlie James walkin' down the road
Repeating the earlier request not to disclose the speaker's whereabouts to Charlie James.
Please don't tell him which way you see me go
Restating the plea to keep the speaker's location a secret.
Please don't tell him which way you see me go
Reiterating the importance of not revealing the speaker's direction to Charlie James.
