Lyrics
As you go out it's Independence Day
Expressing departure on Independence Day
But instead I'll just pour myself a drink
Choosing to have a drink instead
It's got to be love, I've never felt this way
Attributing intense emotions to love
Oh baby, this one's from the heart
Emphasizing the sincerity of the message
The shadows in the road look like a railroad track
Observing shadows resembling a railroad track
I wonder if he's (ever) really comin' back
Speculating on someone's return
The moon's a yellow stain across the sky
Describing the moon's appearance
Oh baby, this one's from the heart
Reiterating the genuine nature of the message
(Maybe) And I'll go down to the corner and get a racin' form
Considering a visit to a betting establishment
(But) And I should probably wait here by the phone
Contemplating waiting by the phone
And the brakes need adjustment on the convertible
Noting a need for car maintenance
Oh baby, this one's from the heart
Reaffirming the heartfelt nature of the message
The worm is climbin' the other color tree
Describing a worm on a tree
Robin is back against the wall
Depicting a challenging situation for Robin
Pour myself a double sympathy
Pouring sympathy for oneself
Oh baby, this one's from the heart
Repeating the sincerity of the message
Blonde's, brunettes, and redheads put their hammer down
Mentioning different types of women accelerating
(To put ) don't pound a cold chisel through my heart
Warning against causing emotional pain
But they were nothin' but apostrophes
Dismissing past relationships as insignificant
O baby, this one's from the heart
Reiterating the depth of emotion
I can't tell, is that a siren or a saxophone
Ambiguity about a sound being a siren or saxophone
But the roads get so slippery (when it rains)
Highlighting slippery roads during rain
I love you more than all these words can ever say
Expressing love beyond words
Oh baby, this one's from the heart
Reaffirming the sincerity of the message
