Davey Rockit
Davey Rockit's Journey: Defying Expectations and Chasing Dreams
Lyrics
There once was a boy by the name of davey rockit
Introduction of the protagonist, Davey Rockit.
And moved out from tennessee
Davey moved from Tennessee to Hollywood.
He came out to hollywood to be a famous dj
He aspired to be a famous DJ in Hollywood.
His name in the magazines
His name gained recognition in magazines.
Everyone told him not to do it
People advised against pursuing his dreams.
They said, "dave just chill
Advice to relax and find a job instead.
And get a job, and go get a gig at the mall"
Suggestions to work at the mall for a gig.
He didn't say a word, he just shook his head and grinned
Davey remained silent, expressing determination.
Stood up and surprised them all
Defied expectations and surprised everyone.
He said, "one of these days, i'm gonna be large
Davey's declaration of future success.
I'll practice all night long
Commitment to practice extensively.
I've packed my bags, i've traveled too far
Expresses a long journey and no turning back.
To ever go back home"
A firm decision to not return home.
Cause momma was a weeping willow
Mention of his weeping willow mother.
His daddy wish he did the same thing years ago
Regret from his father for not pursuing dreams.
When he was young he played the drums, opened for artie shaw
Past involvement in drumming and opening for Artie Shaw.
Wanted to be a jazz legend and a superstar
Desire to be a jazz legend and superstar.
But his dreams faded when they had little david
Dreams faded with the arrival of Davey.
He secretly resented all his friends that made it
Resentment towards friends who succeeded.
And to be honest grew to hate and love his own son
Complex emotions of love and hate for his son.
And couldn't understand where the rage was comin from
Father's confusion about Davey's anger.
Davey and his momma was on tiptoes
Mom and Davey cautious due to unpredictable father.
Cause they never knew which daddy would open the do'
Uncertainty about which version of the father would appear.
Either the mad, sad, happy or the drunk one
Listing different moods of the father.
Davey like the drunk, it was the only time he spoke to him
Davey preferred the drunk version to communicate.
He sat down and yelled for a coors light
Father's request for a Coors Light.
Davey brought it for him, it was the only thing he did right
Davey's small gesture of getting the beer.
He said "son, your daddy used to be sum'n
Father reflects on past glory and current insignificance.
Now I work at some place that don't mean nothin
Describes his current job as meaningless.
And you gon' be just like your old man"
Predicts Davey's future similar to his own.
Davey laughed and said "dad, that's the main plan!"
Davey humorously agrees with becoming like his dad.
And daddy laughed at that
Father laughs at the shared sentiment.
And told davey, "get another from the six-pack"
Father encourages Davey to get another beer.
He said, "one of these days, i'm gonna be large
Reiteration of Davey's determination for success.
I'll practice all night long
Emphasis on continuous practice.
I've packed my bags, i've traveled too far
Acknowledges the extensive journey so far.
To ever go back home"
Reaffirms the decision to not return home.
There once was a boy by the name of davey rockit
Reintroduction of Davey's name and distant location.
A thousand miles outside of home
Describes Davey's isolation with his car and little money.
All he had was his car and a hundred in his pocket
Feeling alone despite minimal possessions.
And he already felt alone
He said, "one of these days, i'm gonna be large
Final restatement of Davey's ambition for greatness.
I'll practice all night long
Continued commitment to practice.
I've packed my bags, i've traveled too far
Acknowledgment of the extensive journey.
To ever go back home"
Firm decision to not go back home.
