Lyrics
Passing under barren skies
Passing through desolate or unproductive circumstances
Waiting for our worlds to collide, and there you are
Anticipating the convergence of different worlds or lives, finding someone
All alone
Isolated or solitary
Feeling bad
Experiencing sadness or remorse
Interstate movin' again
Traveling on a highway, possibly metaphorical, representing life's journey
Barrel through thick and thin, side by side
Enduring challenges together, enduring difficulties side by side
To survive like creosote
To persevere and endure like the hardy desert plant "creosote"
Born under a widespread changes
Being born amidst significant changes in surroundings or circumstances
The search for higher reason
Seeking a deeper purpose or meaning in life
Learning the ropes okay
Getting familiar with things, learning the ways of the world
But fate just runs you around
Feeling like destiny or circumstances control one's life
Born under a widespread changes
Similar to line 10, being born amidst significant changes
The search for higher reason
Continuing the pursuit of a higher purpose or meaning
Learning the ropes okay
Still learning how to navigate life's challenges
But fate just runs you around
Despite efforts, feeling like circumstances control one's destiny
From Memphis to New Orleans
Traveling from one place to another, possibly metaphorically
In and out of railroad dreams, you're out there
Experiencing dreams or aspirations related to the railroad, a symbol of journey or progress
In scenes
Being present in various situations or scenarios
Passing by
Moving past or through different experiences
Everyone faces what they deserve
Confronting the consequences or outcomes based on one's actions
Carousel to claim or curse, sticking around
Life being akin to a revolving cycle of fortune or misfortune
At least
Staying present despite the ups and downs of life
For the ride
Sticking around for the experiences, both good and bad
Born under a widespread changes
Reiterating the theme of being born amidst significant changes
The search for higher reason
Continuing the quest for a deeper meaning or purpose in life
Learning the ropes okay
Still learning how to navigate life's challenges, similar to line 17
But fate just runs you around
Feeling like circumstances or fate control one's life, akin to line 13 and 18
