Ridin' Out the Heartache
Ridin' Out the Heartache: Journey to Healing in a Sixty-Six Chevrolet
Lyrics
Sixty six Chevrolet
A reference to a 1966 Chevrolet vehicle
Windshield full of rain
Windshield obstructed by rain
Four wheels that I can trust to take me outta here
A reliable vehicle to escape from the current situation
Truck stop in buffalo
Stopping at a truck stop in Buffalo
Fueled up and food to go
Refueling the vehicle and purchasing food for the journey
One lonely trucker said he had to bend my ear
A conversation with a lonely trucker seeking company
?Hey there, where ya headed?
The trucker inquires about the destination
I told him, ?I don't really know?
The response indicates uncertainty about the destination
I'm just ridin' out the heartache
Coping with emotional pain by traveling
It doesn't matter how long it takes
Time is not a concern in dealing with the heartache
I'm just a couple thousand miles away
Being a considerable distance away from forgetting the memories associated with someone
From getting his memory outta my mind
Trying to remove memories linked with a person
And when this storm is over I'll be fine
Hopeful that things will improve after the emotional storm passes
Oh, but until that day
Until the emotional distress ends
I'm ridin' out the heartache
Continuing to endure emotional pain while traveling
No need to read the signs
Ignoring or disregarding signs or indications
Not keepin' track of time
Not keeping track of time or progress
Maybe a new direction's gonna change my luck
Hoping a new direction will change fortunes
Turned around and headed south
Altering the route and feeling slightly better
Feel a little better now
A sense of relief or improvement in mood
Seems like those old grey clouds may be breakin' up
Feeling like the difficult times might be ending
He was my only reason
That person was the main reason for staying around
The one thing keeping me around
The sole thing that anchored the person
I'm just ridin' out the heartache
Continuing the journey while enduring heartache
It doesn't matter how long it takes
The duration doesn't affect dealing with emotional pain
I'm just a couple thousand miles away
Being physically distant from erasing memories
From getting his memory outta my mind
Struggling to forget the memories associated with someone
And when this storm is over I'll be fine
Expecting improvement after the emotional turmoil
Oh, but until that day
Continuing to endure emotional pain until it subsides
I'm ridin' out the heartache
Enduring heartache while traveling as a coping mechanism
