Navigating Life's Journey: A Musical Odyssey by The Taj Motel Trio
Lyrics
Never had the time to think twice
Reflecting on not having sufficient time for reconsideration or reflection.
My father gave me this advice
Recalling advice received from the speaker's father.
You've gotta stick to your guns, son
Encouragement to remain steadfast and resolute.
There's gonna be a choice to make
Acknowledging an upcoming decision or critical point in life.
You're gonna have dues to pay, you know
Acknowledging the inevitable challenges and responsibilities to face.
In life just like in everything else
Asserting that challenges exist in all aspects of life.
You're gonna make it
Expressing confidence in overcoming challenges.
Still a long, long way to go
Highlighting the distance yet to be covered on their journey.
To get to our next show
Referencing the distance to the next performance.
You'll never know
Emphasizing uncertainty about the future.
The nights are long, the pay it sucks, so what
Accepting the hardships of the current situation.
This is what we've gotta do
Affirming a commitment to the chosen path despite challenges.
10 years in, still having fun
Expressing enjoyment and satisfaction after a decade of pursuing their passion.
Can't win the race if you don't run
Stressing the importance of participation to have a chance at success.
Now, tell me was my time wasted
Raising a question about the value of the time invested.
Gotta stick together, gonna see it through
Advocating unity and determination to overcome challenges.
It's one of those things we've got to do
Identifying certain actions as necessary steps in their journey.
We'll stay on course and fight 'til the end
Expressing determination to persevere until the end.
We're gonna make it
Reiterating confidence in eventual success.
Still a long, long way to go
Highlighting the ongoing challenges on their path.
To get to our next show
Referencing the distance to the next performance again.
You'll never know
Emphasizing uncertainty about the future again.
The nights are long, the pay it sucks, so what
Reiterating acceptance of the difficulties they face.
This is what we've gotta do
Affirming commitment to their chosen path despite challenges again.
We're unemployed
Describing the current employment status.
We're broke and wasted
Highlighting financial struggles and feeling unproductive.
Nowhere to sleep
Indicating a lack of shelter.
No food to eat
Describing a scarcity of food.
And shows to play
Indicating an obligation to perform despite hardships.
We're unemployed
Repeating the description of the current employment status.
We're broke and wasted
Reiterating financial struggles and feeling unproductive.
Nowhere to sleep
Repeating an indication of a lack of shelter.
No food to eat
Repeating the description of a scarcity of food.
And shows to play
Reiterating the obligation to perform despite hardships.
We're unemployed
Repeating the description of the current employment status again.
