Sugar Mama
Journey through Time: Rediscovering Love's Lost Melody
Lyrics
If I had the power to turn back time
If the speaker could reverse time
To go to the days when you were mine
To revisit the period when the person was their romantic partner
If I had a dollar for every song
If the speaker had a dollar for every song
We wouldn't dragging this blues along
To avoid carrying the burden of sorrow
So come on sugar mama, take a chance with me
An appeal to a woman to take a risk on the speaker
I'm a lot older than used to be
Noting the speaker's aging compared to the past
This hard luck life has got me down
Expressing the impact of a challenging life
These blues will drive me out of town
The hardships causing a desire to leave the current place
So take me back to the windy coast
Desiring a return to a familiar and beloved location
Back to the place I love the most
Expressing affection for a specific place
I got no one here to call my own
Feeling alone with no personal connections
In the times feel the storm
Facing difficulties and challenges in life
I'm a lot older than I used to be
Reiteration of aging and changes over time
This hard luck life has got me down
Repeating the impact of a tough life
These blues will drive me out of town
Repeating the desire to escape due to the blues
I was born to ramble and born to roam
Stating a natural inclination to wander and explore
Born to leave my fathers home
Acknowledging a tendency to leave one's family home
Something unpleasant is about to occur
Suggesting an impending negative event or feeling
I could leave you alone if that's what you'd prefer
Offering to leave the person alone if preferred
So come on sugar mama, take a chance with me
Reiterating the plea for a chance from the woman
I'm a lot older than I used to be
Highlighting the speaker's increased age
This hard luck life has got me down
Repeating the impact of a challenging life
These blues'll drive me out of town
Reiterating the desire to escape due to the blues
These blues'll drive me out of town
Repeating the sentiment that the blues will drive the speaker away
