Drifting
Drifting Away: A Tale of Longing and Redemption in Ramblin' Ricky Tate's Melody
Lyrics
I'm wandering down that lonesome road for so long
I've been traveling down a lonely path for a considerable duration.
I don't know if I'll make it to my home
Uncertainty about reaching my home is prevalent.
I'm wishing I'd listened to my darling now
I regret not heeding the advice of my beloved.
When she said to put the bottle down
Reflecting on the regret of not stopping alcohol consumption as advised by my partner.
I'm drifting down that river of whiskey my dear
I am metaphorically floating down a river of whiskey, facing the consequences.
Drifting further from your love
The alcohol is leading me away from the love and connection I once had.
I'm drifting down that river of whiskey my dear
Continuation of the metaphorical drift in the river of whiskey, expressing a desire to reunite.
And I'm hoping that I see you again
Hopeful anticipation of reuniting with the person despite the current situation.
Oh don't you know I'll love you if you come back home
Expressing love and willingness to welcome the person back home.
Love you every day if you stay
Promising continuous love if the person chooses to stay.
I wonder how things turned out this way but I'm drifting
Pondering on how circumstances led to the current state of drifting away.
I'm drifting down that river of whiskey my dear
Reiteration of drifting in the whiskey river, emphasizing the emotional distance.
Drifting further from your love
The growing emotional separation caused by the river of whiskey.
I'm drifting down that river of whiskey my dear
Continued drift in the river, maintaining the hope for a reunion.
And I'm hoping that I see you again
Expressing the desire to see the person again despite the ongoing drift.
I'm dreaming of days that I can come home to your arms
Yearning for the past days when returning to the warmth of the person's embrace was possible.
The days before I found that bar
Reflecting on the time before discovering the negative influence of the bar and alcohol.
Well whiskey has gone straight to my head my heart is cold
Acknowledging the adverse effects of whiskey on both the mind and emotions.
And I'm longing for days I know are gone
Longing for the days that are now lost due to the impact of alcohol.
I'm drifting down that river of whiskey my dear
Reiteration of drifting down the whiskey river and the emotional distance it brings.
Drifting further from your love
Highlighting the increasing emotional gap caused by the continued drift.
I'm drifting down that river of whiskey my dear
Continued metaphorical drift in the river, maintaining hope for a future reunion.
And I'm hoping that I see you again
Expressing the aspiration to see the person again despite the challenges of the drift.
