Lyrics
Go on and cry, tears are a short cut to healing
Encouraging the expression of emotions as a way to heal.
I don't need to ask why
Expressing understanding without the need for an explanation.
You're feeling that pain that you're feeling
Acknowledging someone's emotional pain.
There's only one reason you'd be here tonight
Speculating about the reason for the person's presence.
He's up to his old tricks again
Suggesting a repeated pattern of negative behavior by someone.
You're such a treasure it doesn't seem right
Complimenting the person, emphasizing their value.
I don't know what comes over him
Expressing confusion or disbelief about the person's actions.
Chorus:
It's like taking the bus
Comparing a situation to an incompatible combination.
With a Cadillac parked in your driveway
Highlighting a stark contrast in lifestyles.
Or a thousand miles down a dirt road
Emphasizing a long and challenging journey versus an easier path.
When there's a new four-lane highway
Contrasting old and new ways of doing things.
It's like blowing off Christmas with Mama
Describing a significant act of neglect or abandonment.
To have a drink with a stranger
Choosing a fleeting pleasure over a meaningful connection.
Why crawl through a trench with the devil
Questioning engaging in a risky and harmful situation.
When you could fly with an angel
Suggesting a preferable alternative involving positive influences.
Why you stay with him, girl I just don't understand
Expressing confusion or concern about staying in a problematic relationship.
He's out searching for silver
Describing the partner's pursuit of something less valuable.
Ignoring that gold on your hand
Ignoring the more significant and valuable things in life.
For the love of the woman he's throwing away
Highlighting the disregard for a valuable relationship.
Most men would pay any price
Emphasizing the rarity and worth of commitment.
Should the eyes of temptation stare me in the face
Facing and resisting temptation without hesitation.
I'd never need to think twice
Expressing unwavering commitment to the right path.
Repeat Chorus
Reiterating the previous comparison and choice.
Yeah, why crawl through a trench with the devil
Reiterating the question about engaging with negativity.
When you could fly with an angel
Repeating the preference for a positive and uplifting influence.
