Blue Sky and the Devil
Wanderlust Serenade: Journey Through Blue Skies and the Devil
Lyrics
I'm leaving Virginia
I am leaving Virginia
Back to where I belong
Returning to my true home
I can't remember
I cannot recall the last time I left
The last time I gone
There's blue skies and women
Describing the destination with clear skies, women, and potent liquor
And liquor so strong
Reference to pleasures and vices
Angels and Devils
Mention of both positive and negative influences
To carry me on
Entities to guide or influence the journey
Come closer Angeline
Inviting Angeline to come closer
We'll go in the mornin'
Planning to embark on the journey in the morning
We'll be home tonight
Expectation of returning home tonight
Old worn out feelings
Emotions and information from the past
And yesterday's news
Referring to outdated sentiments and news
Just give me something
Seeking something relevant or useful
That I can use
My boots are forgiven
The described place is deceptive or misleading
The valley's a lie
Words spoken are insignificant tonight
And all these words talking
Mean nothing tonight
Repeating the invitation to Angeline
Come closer Angeline
Expectation of returning home tonight
We'll go in the mornin'
We'll be home tonight
Leaving a supportive structure behind on the road
I left my pillar
Recalling a familiar town by the river
Out on the road
Life experiences and hardships represented on a hillside
It's a desolate place
But you've been there before
-There's a town by the river
-It's where I was born
-And I died on a hillside
-All tattered and torn
-Come closer Angeline
Reiterating the invitation to Angeline
We'll go in the mornin'
Planning the journey for the morning
We'll be home tonight
Expectation of returning home tonight
Come closer Angeline
Repeating the invitation to Angeline
We'll go in the mornin'
Planning the journey for the morning
We'll be home tonight
Expectation of returning home tonight
