Highway Pearls
Journey to San Francisco: Highway Pearls' Poetic Odyssey
Lyrics
I won't hang my head
I won't feel defeated or ashamed
on another wish or a prayer
I won't rely solely on wishes or prayers
But I'm going up to San Francisco
I am heading to San Francisco
And I hope to see you there
Expressing a desire to meet someone in San Francisco
Heartlines are down
Communication lines are down or strained
And I know you're feeling scared
Acknowledging the other person's fear or apprehension
But I'm going up to San Francisco
Reiterating the plan to go to San Francisco
And I hope to see you there
Repeating the hope to meet the person there
Or are we out of time
Raising a question about the availability of time
A string of highway pearls there
Describing a mental image of a string of pearls on the highway
in your mind
Suggesting these pearls exist in the person's thoughts
You hit the road the day I left
Noting the departure of the person and accepting it
I guess that's fine
Expressing acceptance of the person's decision to move on
If it rolls you on to San Francisco
Considering the possibility that the journey leads to San Francisco
You float like doves without a care
Describing a carefree and light-hearted state
But I'm going up to San Francisco
Despite this, emphasizing the intent to go to San Francisco
Would you care to see me there
Inviting the person to join in the journey
To the world I float like
Projecting an outward appearance of lightness and freedom
feathers in the air
Reiterating the plan to go to San Francisco and expressing a need for the person
But I'm going up to San Francisco
Expressing a desire for the person to be present in San Francisco
And I think I need you there
Pondering the availability of time once again
Or are we out of time
Raising uncertainty about the passage of time
A string of highway pearls there
Repeating the imagery of a string of highway pearls in the mind
in your mind
Recalling the departure and expressing acceptance
You hit the road the day I left
Accepting the person's journey if it leads to San Francisco
I guess that's fine
Reiterating acceptance of the person's departure
If it rolls you on to San Francisco
If the journey brings the person to San Francisco, it's considered acceptable
(x2)
Repeating the previous sentiment about the journey to San Francisco
