Go the Distance
Love's Journey: A Tale of Devotion and Drive
Lyrics
She was down in the bar at the neighborhood
Reference to a local bar where rumors circulate quickly when alcohol flows
Where gossip runs quick when the liquor's good
Highlighting the environment of the bar where gossip spreads easily
Truth and drinks, they get watered down
Observation that truth and conversations lose authenticity with alcohol
She overheard from someone I was messing around
The protagonist's actions being misunderstood, causing rumors
Well, people talk and that's understood
Acknowledging societal tendency to gossip, urging not to believe rumors
But don't you listen to him, ah, he's a fucking peckerwood
Disparaging remark about a person spreading rumors
And all that shit comes off my shoe
Dismissing the negative talk about the protagonist
Doesn't matter to me, but it matters to you
Indifference to rumors, recognizing their importance to others
You and I will go the distance
Expressing commitment to endure challenges in a relationship
Take it past the sun to the stars
Symbolic journey from the sun to the stars, emphasizing determination
Your love is my only existence
Declaring the partner's love as the sole purpose of existence
Your line is just the way I walk
Comparing the partner's influence to the way the protagonist walks
Got a pocket full of money, full tank of gas
Describing financial stability and a full tank of gas
You're not just my woman, you're a piece of ass
Mixing a playful compliment with a crude remark about the partner
Well, sitting 'round at home on a barstool
Depicting a scene of idleness and possibly dissatisfaction
You can hold your liquor but you can't shoot pool
Noting a skill (holding liquor) and a shortcoming (shooting pool)
We get hungry on the drive home
Experiencing hunger after a night out, possibly intoxicated
Maybe we got drunk, maybe we got stoned
Suggesting the possibility of getting drunk or stoned during the night
Late night at the drive-thru
Describing a late-night visit to a drive-thru for fast food
I'll have a number one, she'll have a number two
Ordering food at the drive-thru, humorously specifying meal choices
You and I will go the distance
Reiteration of commitment to face challenges together
Take it past the sun to the stars
Repeating the imagery of a journey from the sun to the stars
Your love is my only existence
Reaffirming the partner's love as the protagonist's reason for being
Your line is just the way I walk
Reiterating the partner's influence on the protagonist's actions
You and I will go the distance
Continuation of the commitment to endure challenges
Take it past the sun to the stars
Emphasizing determination to surpass challenges symbolically
Your love is my only existence
Restating the partner's love as the central purpose of existence
Your line is just the way I walk
Reiterating the partner's influence on the protagonist's actions
I just want to be with you
Expressing a simple desire to be with the partner until the end of days
Until my days are through
Affirming the partner as the protagonist's ultimate truth
You are my only truth
Declaring exclusive devotion to the partner
You can spend my money however you want
Giving the partner freedom to use the protagonist's money without restriction
Throw it in the fire 'til it's all gone
Suggesting a willingness to sacrifice material possessions for the partner
Defend my honor even when I'm wrong
Asking the partner to defend the protagonist's honor, even when wrong
You heart is like a pistol and your body's like a love song
Metaphorical comparison of the partner's heart to a pistol and body to a love song
You and I will go the distance
Reiteration of commitment to face challenges and go the distance
Take it past the sun to the stars
Reaffirming the determination to surpass challenges symbolically
Your love is my only existence
Reasserting the partner's love as the protagonist's reason for being
Your line is just the way I walk
Reiterating the partner's influence on the protagonist's actions
You and I will go the distance
Continuation of the commitment to endure challenges
Take it past the sun to the stars
Emphasizing determination to surpass challenges symbolically
Your love is my only existence
Restating the partner's love as the central purpose of existence
Your line is just the way I walk
Reiterating the partner's influence on the protagonist's actions
