Last Train to Amsterdam
Journey of Duality: Last Train's Soulful Quest
Lyrics
There's an old soul waitin' to be born
There is a mature or wise soul ready to come into existence or be recognized.
There's a scarecrow standin' in the corn
There is a scarecrow positioned within the field of corn.
On of thems wishin' for the light of day
One of these entities desires to experience life in the daylight.
One of them is chasin' all the black crows away
One of them is actively driving away or warding off the black crows.
Well I'm standing at the station and I don't know where I am
The singer is at a station but is disoriented about their location.
And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam
The wheels are in motion on the final train headed to Amsterdam.
There's a preacher out spreadin' the word
There is a preacher evangelizing and sharing religious beliefs.
There's a blond in a thunderbird
A blonde person is driving a Thunderbird car.
One of them tells me to kneel and pray
One of them instructs the singer to kneel and engage in prayer.
One of them gets to me in a real bad way
One of them influences the singer in a negative or harmful manner.
Well I got me a one way ticket to get me from where I am
The singer possesses a one-way ticket to depart from their current situation.
And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam
The train wheels are moving on the final journey to Amsterdam.
I'm standin' just south of Fate
The singer stands near the concept of destiny or an unavoidable outcome.
There ain't no exit from the interstate
There are no options to leave the main road or path of life.
There's one way in, it's a long dirty road
There exists only one entrance, which is a challenging and arduous path.
Only one way our Robert Johnson knows
Only one method is known or understood by Robert Johnson, an influential blues musician.
There's a hobo waitin' on a train
A homeless person waits for a train.
There's a hitch hiker standin' in the rain
A hitchhiker stands outside in the rain, hoping for a ride.
One of them knows he's never going home
The hobo realizes they may never return home.
The other one feels God down in his bones
The hitchhiker senses a divine presence deeply within.
