Lyrics
My skin sticks to my bones
Feeling physically emaciated and worn down.
Alone and so old
Isolated and aged, possibly reflecting a sense of loneliness.
Don't own a lick, all my pockets hold
No possessions, and what little remains is meager.
To my name's a stone
Only possession is a name, symbolizing identity or self.
My step's gettin' low and slow(Er)
Walking slowly, burdened by the weight of life.
Draggin' dirt that's not worth the loan
Carrying valueless troubles or burdens.
All the tolls to keep on goin'
Enduring hardships to keep moving forward.
Down the low country road
Traveling on a less traveled, perhaps challenging path.
Rollin' down all alone
Traveling without companionship.
Just moving along
Continuing the journey despite challenges.
Oh, like a stray dog
Comparing oneself to a stray dog without a permanent home.
I don't gotta home
Emphasizing the lack of a fixed dwelling.
Rollin' down all alone
Reiteration of solitary travel.
Just moving along
Continuing the journey without a specific destination.
Oh, like a stray dog
Reaffirming the similarity to a stray dog without a home.
I don't wanna home
Stating a lack of desire for a permanent residence.
The sun sets past the bend
Describing the sun setting, implying the end of a phase.
And I probably won't see it again
Acknowledging the uncertainty of witnessing the sunset again.
Because I'm resting at the riverbed
Resting by the riverbed, possibly contemplating life.
Beside the poor old fishermen
Being in the company of humble fishermen.
Caravans will point and laugh
Experiencing judgment from others with more material wealth.
With their gold and upright backs
Contrasting the speaker's situation with more privileged individuals.
I ought to growl, I ought to stand
Feeling a need to assert oneself but lacking the energy.
But I'm oh too tired to bark at them
Expressing fatigue and reluctance to confront others.
Rollin' down all alone
Reiteration of solo journey.
Just moving along
Continuing to move forward despite challenges.
Oh, like a stray dog
Repeating the analogy of being like a stray dog.
I don't gotta home
Emphasizing the absence of a permanent home.
Rollin' down all alone
Continuing the solo journey.
Just moving along
Persisting in movement without a clear destination.
Oh, like a stray dog
Reiterating the comparison to a stray dog.
I don't wanna home
Reaffirming the lack of desire for a fixed residence.
Oh, can anyone spare a bone?
Requesting assistance or support in a metaphorical sense.
Oh, just one more for me to hold before I'm gone
Seeking empathy or compassion before departing.
Oh, can anyone care to know?
Yearning for acknowledgment or understanding.
Oh, that I'll pass along and fade into the golden road
Acceptance of passing away and transitioning to an unknown future.
Rollin' down all alone
Continuing the journey alone.
Just moving along
Persisting in movement despite challenges.
Oh, like a stray dog
Reiteration of being akin to a stray dog without a permanent home.
I don't gotta home
Emphasizing the absence of a fixed dwelling.
Rollin' down all alone
Continuing the solo journey.
Just moving along
Persisting in movement without a specific destination.
Oh, like a stray dog
Reaffirming the comparison to a stray dog.
I don't wanna home
Stating the lack of desire for a permanent residence.
