Down by the River
Lost by the River: A Journey of Heartbreak and Redemption
Lyrics
Down by the river and I've lost my way,
Feeling lost and disoriented near a river.
Down by the river and I've lost my way,
Repetition emphasizes the sense of being lost.
I've got my broken heart i've got my bottle of pain,
Expressing emotional pain and sorrow through a broken heart and a bottle of something symbolic.
Down by the river and I've lost my way.
Continuing to feel lost by the river.
Down by the river and I can't get back,
Unable to find the way back near the river.
Down by the river and I can't get back,
Reiterating the difficulty in returning.
I've got my burned out soul I've got my bottle of Jack
Describing a weary soul and reliance on alcohol (Jack Daniel's).
Down by the river and I can't get back.
Emphasizing the challenge of returning from the river.
Ain't got no love to give,
Lack of love to give, suggesting emotional emptiness.
Ain't got no family home,
No family home, indicating a sense of rootlessness or estrangement.
Down by the river, no place to go.
Being near the river with no clear destination.
I've got my broken heart I've got my bottle of pain,
Repeating the theme of emotional pain and reliance on substances.
Down by the river and I've lost my way.
Reiterating the feeling of being lost by the river.
I've got my burned out soul I've got my bottle of Jack
Continuing the theme of a weary soul and dependence on alcohol.
Down by the river and I can't get back.
Highlighting the struggle to return from the river.
Ain't got no love to give
Reemphasizing the absence of love to share.
Ain't got no family home,
Reiterating the lack of a stable family home.
Down by the river no place to go.
Being near the river with no apparent destination or purpose.
Down by the river no place to go.
Underlining the lack of a clear path or purpose near the river.
