The Storms of Life
Wanderer's Reflection: Battling Life's Storms in Randy Travis' Melody
Lyrics
There's a dirty piece of cardboard
Describing a worn-out piece of cardboard
That reads Montgomery Ward
Mentioning a sign from a specific store (Montgomery Ward)
Taped across the window of my old Ford
Using the cardboard to cover a broken window on an old Ford vehicle
A six pack on the front seat and a box of chicken wings
Having a six-pack of beer and chicken wings on the car seat
I'm dialin' 'cross the radio for a song that I can sing
Searching the radio for a song to connect with
I'd better change my wandrin' ways
Recognizing the need to change his wandering lifestyle
I know I've seen my better days
Reflecting on better times that have passed
Always gettin' high when I get low
Using substances when feeling down
Well, I left my soul out in the rain
Feeling spiritually lost or disconnected
Lord, what a price I've had to pay
Regretting the consequences of past actions
Storms of life are washin' me away
Feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges and difficulties
An old mail pouch, tobacco sign
Referencing an old sign related to tobacco
Fadin' on the barn
Describing a fading sign on a barn, evoking memories of the past
Bringin' back sweet memories of mama's farm
Bringing back nostalgic memories of a mother's farm
When love was just a country girl that lived on down the road
Recalling a past love, symbolized by a country girl
You know, she almost had me turned around
Almost being influenced by that past love
But that was years ago
Recognizing the passage of time since that relationship
I'd better change my wandrin' ways
Reiterating the need for personal change
I know I've seen my better days
Reflecting on past, better times
Always gettin' high when I get low
Resorting to substances during low moments
Well, I left my soul out in the rain
Feeling spiritually disconnected due to past actions
Lord, what a price I've had to pay
Expressing regret for the consequences faced
Storms of life are washin' me away
Feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges
Yeah, the storms of life are washin' me away
Continuing to be overwhelmed by life's difficulties
