I Had My Hopes Up High
Journey Through Hope: Unveiling Life's Twists
Lyrics
Well I left my home out on the great high planes
Leaving home, departing from familiar surroundings in the open plains
Headed for some new terrains
Seeking new experiences or destinations
Standin' on the highway with my coffee cup
Standing on the roadside, contemplating while holding a coffee cup
Wonderin' who's gonna pick me up
Contemplating who will offer a ride or assistance
I had my hopes up high
Feeling optimistic and positive
I never thought that I
Didn't expect to question decisions made
Would ever wonder why I ever said goodbye
Reflecting on the choice to leave
I had my hopes up high
Remained hopeful despite uncertainties
Well the first ride I got was in a dynamite truck
First hitchhike was in a risky situation
The driver kept tellin' me his bad luck
The driver shared tales of misfortune
As we swerved around the curves, I began to shout
Feeling unsafe due to the reckless driving
I said, "Hey, mister would you let me out?"
Requesting to exit the dangerous ride
I had my hopes up high
Remained hopeful despite the alarming situation
I never thought that I
Surprised at questioning choices
Would ever wonder why I ever said goodbye
Reconsidering the decision to depart
I had my hopes up high
Maintaining hope despite adversity
And the next ride I got was with a man in trouble
Next ride was with someone facing problems
Beard on his face was all and a stubble
Describing the appearance of the troubled person
Runnin' from the law, he was goin' 99
Escaping authorities at high speed
I said, "Hey, mister you're out of your mind"
Expressing concern about the risky situation
I had my hopes up high
Retaining hope despite encountering risky situations
I never thought that I
Surprised at questioning life choices again
Would ever wonder why I ever said goodbye
Reflecting on the decision to leave
I had my hopes up high
Remaining hopeful amidst challenges
And the next ride I got was with a preacher man
Ride with a preacher discussing sin and consequences
Told me that the wicked would be buried in sin
Preacher warning about the consequences of wrongdoing
I don't know why I did it but I lost control
Feeling a loss of control in the situation
I said, "Hey, papa would you save my soul?"
Asking for spiritual guidance or salvation
I had my hopes up high
Retaining hope despite feeling spiritually lost
I never thought that I
Surprised by self-doubt despite faith
Would ever wonder why I ever said goodbye
Reconsidering the decision to leave in light of spiritual conflict
I had my hopes up high
Maintaining hope despite inner turmoil
Well I finally got a ride on a carnival train
Finally getting a ride on a carnival train in a chaotic situation
Nearly blew away in a hurricane
Facing extreme conditions during the journey
I got to thinkin' 'bout the preacher down in Louisiana
Recalling the preacher's warnings while in a different location
Now I'm sittin' on the Delta siftin' sand
Reflecting on current circumstances
I had my hopes up high
Maintaining hope despite being in a different place
I never thought that I
Surprised at questioning decisions in new surroundings
Would ever wonder why I ever said goodbye
Reevaluating the choice to depart in current circumstances
I had my hopes up high
Maintaining hope despite uncertainties in the new setting
I never thought that I
Surprised by questioning decisions again
Would ever wonder why I ever said goodbye
Reflecting on the decision to depart in the new circumstances
I had my hopes up high
Continuing to maintain hope despite uncertainties
