Wild Rose Country
Embracing Freedom in Wild Rose Country
Lyrics
I got no plans on leaving
I am committed to staying.
No plans on heading across that line
I have no intention of crossing certain boundaries.
I got blown off your bridges
I faced rejection from your connections or relationships.
Landed on my toes in a country of wild rose and pine
I landed gracefully in a region abundant with wild roses and pine trees.
I'm here today and here to stay
I am present and have a lasting commitment.
Tucked under the sky in which I learned to lie
I am comfortably situated under the same sky where I learned to deceive.
I could run all day for pleasure
I could indulge in pleasure by running all day, but I choose not to as I am occupied with survival.
But I won't, I'm way too busy getting by, yeah
I refrain from constant pleasure-seeking as I am too busy coping with life's demands.
I got no plans on leaving
Reiteration of the commitment to stay.
I got nowhere else to go
I have no alternative place to go.
Man, I know so many people
I am acquainted with many individuals who are detrimental to my well-being.
Who are just no damn good for me, no
Expressing a realization that certain people are not good for personal growth.
Good lord's telling me don't believe all that you read
An acknowledgment of advice to be skeptical of information and rely on personal observations.
Believe your eyes and everything you see
Encouragement to trust one's own eyes and perceptions.
And stretch yourself out to drop the shit you don't need
Advocating for self-improvement by letting go of unnecessary burdens.
And damn I know it's hard but that's how you'll be free, yeah
Recognizing the difficulty but emphasizing that it leads to freedom.
I got no plans on leaving
Reiteration of the commitment to stay.
No plans on heading across that line
Reaffirming the decision not to cross certain boundaries.
I got blown off your bridges
Recalling rejection from established connections.
Landed on my toes in a country of wild rose and pine, oh yeah
Restating the graceful landing in a region abundant with wild roses and pine trees.
