Bluebonnet Highway
Wandering Hearts on a Bluebonnet Highway
Lyrics
I was born September 1st in the little town outside Fort Worth,
I was born on September 1st in a small town outside Fort Worth.
I grew up there till I was 17.
I lived there until I was 17.
I moved to the city with my guitar, a traveler's song and a wild heart,
At 17, I moved to the city with my guitar, a traveler's song, and a wild heart.
The buildings seemed to reach to the sky.
The city buildings seemed to stretch towards the sky.
Long live the glory days,
Celebration of the past, reminiscing about glorious days.
Where nothing stood in my way
A time when nothing hindered my progress or ambitions.
The world was an open range,
The world felt like an expansive, limitless space.
A bluebonnet-covered highway
A metaphorical highway covered with Texas bluebonnets, symbolizing beauty and nostalgia.
I found myself in Near Southside, the Fairmount girls were awfully nice,
I found myself in Near Southside, where the Fairmount girls were kind.
I was living fast and drinking cheap.
A period of living recklessly and enjoying inexpensive pleasures.
I said goodbye at 23, the Dallas lights were calling me,
At 23, I left, feeling the pull of Dallas lights, a wandering son on a tight budget.
A wayward son, rolling on a dime.
Leaving behind the familiar, rolling forward with uncertainty.
Long live the glory days,
Reflecting on the glorious days, a recurring theme.
Where nothing stood in my way
A time when obstacles were non-existent.
The world was an open range,
The world appeared boundless and full of opportunities.
A bluebonnet-covered highway
Reiterating the imagery of a bluebonnet-covered highway, representing a nostalgic journey.
I left Dallas at 25 to see mountains and valleys, mesquites turn into pine
Leaving Dallas at 25 to explore landscapes, witnessing the transformation of mesquites into pine.
I saw it all down the wandering road, but Texas, my Texas, you will always be home
Despite travels, Texas remains the ultimate home.
Long live the glory days,
Longing for the glory days, a sense of nostalgia.
Where nothing stood in my way
Emphasizing the absence of obstacles in the past.
The world was an open range,
Reiteration of the vast opportunities that once seemed limitless.
A bluebonnet-covered highway
Continued imagery of a bluebonnet-covered highway, encapsulating the essence of the journey.
