Go Down Rockin'
Rocking Between Troubles: Waylon Jennings' Unwavering Resolve
Lyrics
One foot on the mountain, the other one in the stream
Symbolizes being torn between two different lifestyles or choices.
All kinds of trouble and I'm caught in between
Expresses being entangled in various troubles due to conflicting situations.
I can't change my way of doin'; it's gonna lay like it falls
Reflects a commitment to a certain way of life, regardless of consequences.
If I can't go down rockin', I ain't gonna go down at all.
Emphasizes the determination to live life fully and vibrantly.
She was a child of acquired money, had that silver spoon
Describes a woman born into wealth but with a rebellious nature.
I knew she had a little wild streak and needed breathing room
Recognizes the woman's need for freedom and independence.
If I can't be your sugar daddy, I won't be your Neanderthal
Declares the speaker's refusal to be just a provider without mutual respect.
If I can't go down rockin', I ain't gonna go down at all.
Reiterates the commitment to living a vibrant and authentic life.
Spent a little time in the congregation,
Recalls spending time in a religious community, possibly reflecting upbringing.
That's how I was raised
Highlights the influence of a religious background on the speaker.
Spent a little time in trouble, but I do have my ways
Admits to a past filled with challenges but asserts personal resilience.
Don't be your Neanderthal.
Repeats the refusal to be a primitive or outdated figure in a relationship.
Tonight I had good intentions of crawling into bed
Shares the intention to rest but is interrupted by a phone call.
Resting my body and clearing my head
Describes the desire for rest and mental clarity.
But, just about midnight, I got that telephone call
Reveals an unexpected interruption, possibly representing life's uncertainties.
If I can't go down rockin', I ain't gonna go down at all.
Restates the commitment to a vibrant life, even in unexpected moments.
Spent a little time in the congregation,
Reiterates past experiences with religion, shaping the speaker's character.
That's how I was raised
Underlines the influence of upbringing and values instilled through religion.
Spent a little time in trouble, but I do have my ways
Acknowledges a history of challenges but asserts personal adaptability.
If I can't go down rockin', I ain't gonna go down at all.
Reaffirms the commitment to living a lively and authentic life.
If I can't go down rockin', I ain't gonna go down at all
Emphasizes the determination to face life with energy and vibrancy.
