Lyrics
I stay walking the woods, getting lost in my thoughts
I often walk in the woods, deep in my thoughts, contemplating my path.
Wondering if this path is the one that I'm 'posed to be on
I question if the current path I'm on is the one I'm meant to be on.
But I do get lost in a daze, way deep back off in my mind
I sometimes get lost in my thoughts, lost deep within my mind.
And I realize camera flashes really will make you go blind
Realizing that fame (camera flashes) can be detrimental to one's clarity of mind.
And I'm just blind in a sense, and not the cents that make dollars
I'm blind in understanding, not blinded by the pursuit of wealth.
I'm not gonna go crazy over shit to me that don't really matter
I won't obsess over things that don't truly matter to me.
Who cares if you got money, shit, dawg, I got money too
Having money doesn't define me; dropping materialistic pursuits reveals my true self.
But when you drop the materialistic shit then who the fuck are you
Questioning identity when stripped of material possessions.
And I'm just strolling through fields call me the phantom of Dixie
I traverse fields, nicknamed the phantom of Dixie.
With the devil creeping behind, always slick, trying to come trick me
Aware of negative influences (devil) trying to deceive me.
But I ain't paying attention to the shadows that lurk my back
Not letting shadows and negativity distract me from my goals.
I'm here to be a star and have folks down the road read out my path
Aspiring to be a star, leaving a legacy for others to follow.
He was a traveler, a rockstar and a healer
Describing a person as a traveler, rockstar, and healer.
Four wheels spinning in the sunset through the night
Depicting a journey with wheels turning in the sunset.
Into the dark unknown, guns are loaded
Acknowledging the presence of danger (guns loaded) in the unknown.
But he always made it home before the light
Returning home safely before darkness falls.
I grew up with my pawpaw watching reruns of Lonesome Dove
Recalling childhood memories of watching westerns with grandfather.
Tombstone and Mash, I'd dress up in his cowboy hat some
Imitating Johnny Cash with grandfather's guitar in hand.
And I grab his guitar and pretend to be Johnny Cash on a stage
Connecting with a musical passion in the kitchen.
Just standing in the kitchen when I didn't know how to play
Learning to play surrounded by challenges (snakes).
And I'm surrounded by snakes but I'm the one with the venom
Despite challenges, possessing the strength to overcome difficulties.
I got the voice of the good people, mainstream won't even listen
Having a voice for the people, not recognized by mainstream.
I can't even get two seconds, shit, I'm the black sheep I guess
Feeling like an outsider (black sheep) in the industry.
But I'm gonna conquer these obstacles with the blade at my neck
Determined to overcome obstacles, facing adversity head-on.
Yeah I stress out so I smoke and Mary Jane picks me up
Using substances like smoking to cope with stress.
My mind state in the moonlight is something powerful from above
Finding solace and inspiration in the moonlight.
So when the full moon cast a beam and the beam is shining on me
Feeling empowered under the full moon, ready to perform.
I guess it's time to hit the stage like the animal I am
Embracing the stage, expressing the wild, untamed side.
He was a traveler, a rockstar and a healer
Reiterating the description of a person as a traveler, rockstar, and healer.
Four wheels spinning in the sunset through the night
Continuing the journey with wheels turning in the sunset.
Into the dark unknown, guns are loaded
Acknowledging the presence of danger (guns loaded) in the unknown.
But he always made it home before the light
Ensuring a safe return home before the light disappears.
