So Many Roads
Journey of Heartache: Seeking Love on Endless Rails
Lyrics
So many roads
There are numerous paths in life
So many trains to ride
Many opportunities or options to pursue
So many roads
Multiple choices or possibilities
So many trains to ride
Abundance of chances to take
I'm gonna find my baby
Desire to reunite with a loved one
Before I'll be satisfied
Achieving contentment by finding the loved one
I was standing at my window
Observing from a vantage point
When I heard that whistle blow
Hearing the signal of departure
Standing at my window
Again, being present to hear the train's signal
When I heard that whistle blow
The sound seemed direct, but it was off course
Well it sung like a straight line
Perception that the sound should be linear but wasn't
But it was below
Signal deviating from expected path
It was a mean old fireman
Reference to harsh or unjust individuals
And a cruel old engineer
Highlighting the cruelty of certain individuals
It was a mean old fireman
Reiteration of the unpleasantness experienced
And a cruel old engineer
Emphasizing the harshness of the situation
That took my baby
Loss of the loved one due to the actions of others
And left me standing here
Left alone in a difficult situation
