There and Back Again
Journey of Love and Longing: There and Back Again
Lyrics
Keep on in the middle
Encouragement to persevere through challenges, stay balanced.
Smoke up just a little
Suggestive of taking a break or enjoying a small indulgence.
Happy days are to follow
Optimistic anticipation of better times ahead.
Longs you don't wallow
Emphasis on avoiding self-pity or dwelling on negativity.
Been out for a while
Returning after a period of absence.
Lone dance bout a mile
Engaging in a solitary dance, metaphorical or literal.
Found love few times
Experiencing love multiple times in life.
Miss you in my mind
Thoughts of a loved one persisting in the mind.
There and back again
Reference to a journey of departure and return.
Big river flows end to end
Metaphor for life's continuous flow and continuity.
A million faces a million doors
A multitude of opportunities and possibilities.
You'll see when you look for more
Encouragement to explore and seek more in life.
Save up couple dollar
Encouragement to save resources for future endeavors.
Find a new yell and holler
Expressing oneself loudly and joyfully.
Out now back later
Going out now, with the intention to return later.
See ya then...
Farewell with the expectation of meeting again.
Miss home just a little
Missing home, expressing a modest level of homesickness.
Mom, dad your kiddo
Acknowledgment of parental figures.
Grown up one day
Reflection on growing up and maturing.
Home bound I'll stay
Expressing a commitment to staying connected to one's roots.
There and back again
Reiteration of the journey motif, emphasizing cyclical nature.
You may be gone 'til God knows when
Acknowledgment of a prolonged absence, uncertain return.
I miss you now but I'll see you soon
Expressing current longing with anticipation of a reunion.
After your little trip to the moon
Referencing a figurative trip to the moon, a temporary separation.
There and back again
Reiteration of the cyclic journey, emphasizing continuity.
Big river flows end to end
Repetition of the river metaphor, symbolizing life's journey.
A million faces a million doors
Reiteration of numerous opportunities and possibilities in life.
You'll see when you look for more
Encouragement to explore and seek more in life (repeated).
