One Dyin' and a Buryin'
Freedom's Echo: A Journey Beyond Heartache with Roger Miller
Lyrics
Well, I think I finally found me a sure-fire way to forget
Expressing the discovery of a method to forget and move on.
It?s so simple, I'm surprised I hadn't done thought of it before yet
Reflecting surprise at the simplicity of the newfound method.
It?s foolproof, well, it?s foolhardy, maybe, but who knows
Describing the method as foolproof or possibly reckless.
Anyway, here I am, walkin? down toward where the cold dark water flows
Indicating the narrator's current location near cold, dark water.
All it takes is
Introducing the crucial element or action for forgetting.
One dyin? and a buryin?, one dyin? and a buryin?
Repeating the concept of the key action: dying and being buried.
Some cryin?, six carryin? me, I wanna be free
Adding emotion with crying and the act of being carried.
Oh ho, I wanna be free
Expressing a strong desire for freedom.
Free from all this heartache and regret
Desiring liberation from heartache and regret.
And free from pinin? for the love I can't forget
Wanting to be free from longing for a lost love.
The love that once was warm and then just somehow turned to hate
Reflecting on a love that turned from warmth to hatred.
Made my life a prison from which there's only one escape
Describing the impact of the love, turning life into a prison.
That's
Reiterating the solution: one dying and being buried.
One dyin? and a buryin?, one dyin? and a buryin?
Repeating the key action with added emotion and desire for freedom.
Some cryin?, six carryin? me, I wanna be free
Expressing a strong wish to be free while undergoing the process.
One dyin? and a buryin?, one dyin? and a buryin?
Reiterating the concept of dying and being buried, emphasizing freedom.
Some cryin?, six carryin? me, I wanna be free
Echoing the desire for freedom during the process of dying and burying.
