Come to the City
Wandering through the Heartland: A Journey of Love and Longing
Lyrics
Lead me back to the place I'm from
Desire to return to the place of origin
Past the farms and debris
Passing through agricultural lands and wreckage
You can see it from the highlands
Visible from elevated areas
As you roam 'long the range
Traveling along the mountainous region
I've been on the look for a quiet place
Seeking a peaceful location
It's not far from of the range, baby
The desired place isn't far
Take me back to the one I love
Yearning to return to a loved one
It's not far, it's on the way
The destination is along the route
I've been ramblin'
Wandering or traveling aimlessly
Burning tires on my street
Metaphorically describing chaos and disruption
Past the roar and debris, baby
Referring to the chaos, possibly in an urban setting
All the kids dance around it
Children are engaging with the chaos
Monkey likes what he sees
Observing something with curiosity
I've been drinking up all the sweet tea
Enjoying something pleasurable and personalized
It was made just for me
Specifically crafted for the speaker's enjoyment
I've been ramblin'
Continued aimless wandering
I'm just driftin'
Drifting without a specific purpose
Looking out for the one I love
Being watchful or attentive for the beloved
I've been down by the sea, baby
Spending time near the sea
I've been up in the highlands
Traveling through elevated terrains
Past the farms and debris
Passing through farms and wreckage
I've been rollin' down on the good stuff
Enjoying positive experiences
Past the roads I can see, oh babe
Traveling along clear pathways
Lead me back to the one I love
Desiring to return to the beloved
All roads lead to me
Recognition that all paths lead to oneself
I've been movin'
Continued movement or traveling
I'll be driftin'
Continued drifting without direction
