Country Roads
Yearning for Rural Serenity
Lyrics
She text me and she told me that she miss me
Receiving a text expressing longing and missing from a significant other
All she wants to know is when I'm coming home
Desire to know when the person will return home
I told her I've been locked up in the city
Explanation of being stuck or occupied in the city
And I can't stop thinking about those country roads
Nostalgia and constant thoughts about the peaceful country roads
I call her while I'm sipping on this whiskey
Calling while drinking whiskey; emotional connection
She's crying I can hear it through the telephone
Hearing the partner cry through the phone
Told her one day Imma move out of the city
Expressing the intention to move out of the city eventually
Cause girl you know how much I miss those country roads
Emphasizing the strong desire to return to country roads
Apartment hopping, neighbor's dogs are barking
Current city life challenges, including noisy neighbors
So much traffic baby, someone tell these cars quit honking
Frustration with urban traffic and noise
People killing, robbing, pistols popping, always something
Highlighting negative aspects of city life (crime, violence)
I park my car and get to walking, can't forget to lock it
Taking precautions in the city environment
They see this whip, its looking clean, automatic target
Being a potential target due to an attractive car
So many faces and it's crazy I don't know nobody
Feeling like a stranger in a crowded city
This way of life is toxic, everything is so chaotic
Describing the chaotic and toxic nature of urban life
I'm making money, that's the only thing that's good about it
Finding solace in making money amidst chaos
She text me and she told me that she miss me
Repetition of partner's longing through text
All she wants to know is when I'm coming home
Reiterating the partner's desire to know the return date
I told her I've been locked up in the city
Repeating the explanation of being trapped in the city
And I can't stop thinking about those country roads
Revisiting the persistent thoughts about country roads
I call her while I'm sipping on this whiskey
Repeating the act of calling while sipping whiskey
She's crying I can hear it through the telephone
Reaffirming the emotional connection through the phone
Told her one day Imma move out of the city
Reiterating the plan to move out of the city eventually
Cause girl you know how much I miss those country roads
Re-emphasizing the strong longing for country roads
I really do
Expressing sincere feelings of longing and desire to return
I really do
-I can't see the stars now, I can't see the moon
Unable to experience the beauty of nature due to city life
I can't watch the sun set from this tiny room
-I can't watch the leaves fall, or the flowers bloom
-These streets weren't made for trucks, I don't wanna drive a coup
Disliking the urban lifestyle, missing casual clothing
I don't wanna wear this suit, I miss my jeans and boots yeah
-I don't wanna have to pay to park for everything I do
Displeasure with the urban expenses and road infrastructure
Ten lanes is way too much, I miss when all the roads had two
-She text me and she told me that she miss me
Reiteration of partner's expressed longing through text
All she wants to know is when I'm coming home
-I told her I've been locked up in the city
Repeating the explanation of being stuck in the city
And I can't stop thinking about those country roads
-I call her while I'm sipping on this whiskey
Reaffirming the emotional connection while sipping whiskey
She's crying I can hear it through the telephone
-Told her one day Imma move out of the city
Reiterating the plan to move out due to strong attachment to country roads
Cause girl you know how much I miss those country roads
-Those country roads
Final emphasis on the deep yearning for the serene country roads
Those country roads
