Put That Record On
Journey Home: A Musical Odyssey of Love and Longing
Lyrics
I've been living on the road too long
I've been living a nomadic lifestyle for too long.
I've been everywhere singing these god damn songs
I've performed these songs in various places.
Every sign of rain or the fall of snow
Any indication of changing weather conditions prompts me to hit the road.
I jump in my Ford and off I go
I quickly get into my Ford and start driving.
There's a picture of you upon the dash
There's a photo of you on the dashboard.
Pointing and me and we're both having a laugh
The photo shows you and me laughing together.
Everything I own is in a hefty bag in the back
All my belongings are packed in a large bag in the back of the car.
I'm down to my last dollar and I'm out of gas
I'm almost out of money and my car is running out of fuel.
Can you remember out favourite song?
Recalling a cherished song we both loved.
Baby put that record on
Asking you to play that particular record.
cnd we'd dance the night away until 3
We used to dance to that song till late at night.
Just the bar tender you and me
Just the bartender, you, and me, spending time together.
Baby I'm coming home to you
Expressing the intention of returning home to you.
DJ put on that favourite song I like
Asking the DJ to play a favorite song to feel less lonely.
So, I don't feel alone tonight
Wanting to avoid feeling solitary tonight.
Listen here comes that favourite line you like
Anticipating a favorite lyric in the song.
Sha la la all the time with your hands in the air
Describing a scene of joy and dancing with hands in the air.
There your standing back lit moving in time
Imagining your silhouette moving rhythmically.
It's just something to know that your mine
Feeling reassured by the thought of belonging to each other.
Not long now I'm driving as fast as I can
Driving as fast as possible to reach you soon.
It won't be long before you're in my arms.
Expecting to hold you in my arms shortly.
Can you remember out favourite song?
Remembering our favorite song again.
Baby put that record on
Requesting to play that special record once more.
cnd we'd dance the night away until 3
Recalling how we danced late into the night.
Just the bar tender you and me
Recollecting a past moment shared at a bar.
Baby Im coming home to you
Expressing the desire to return home to be with you.
So many mile I've seen
Having covered numerous miles in my travels.
The distance between me and you
Feeling the emotional distance between us due to physical separation.
Life in another lane
Life seems monotonous and familiar in this different setting.
It starts to feel the same
Starting to feel routine and repetitive.
Can you remember out favourite song?
Revisiting the memory of our favorite song again.
Baby put that record on
Asking to play that record to evoke nostalgia.
cnd we'd dance the night away until 3
Remembering dancing till late with fondness.
Just the bar tender you and me
Recollecting a specific moment shared at a bar.
Save those quarters up ready to go
Preparing to have enough change to play the record.
Baby Im coming home to you
Stating the intention of coming back home to be with you.
