Alone
Solitude Symphony: Navigating Love's Turmoil and Personal Redemption
Lyrics
Well I got me a woman who loves me dearly
Expressing gratitude for having a loving woman in his life.
And two tails that wag when I'm home
Referring to his two dogs that show affection when he's home.
And I try like hell to treat them well
Striving to treat his woman and dogs well.
But I'm better off being alone
Despite having love, feels more content and comfortable when alone.
Where I can drink till my liver can't keep up
Describing excessive drinking until his liver can't handle it.
Smoke till I hack up my lungs
Describing heavy smoking leading to lung issues.
Can't break no one's heart if I'm on my own
Preferring solitude to avoid causing heartbreak to others.
Yeah I'm better off being alone
Reiterating the preference for being alone for personal reasons.
Lord it's hard getting up in the morning
Expressing difficulty in starting the day.
Lord it's hard giving up getting stoned
Struggling with the challenge of quitting substance use.
Lord it's hard to find light in the darkness
Finding it challenging to see positivity in a difficult situation.
Lord it's hard to feel so alone
Feeling the emotional pain of loneliness.
Well we married too young and we'll die that way also
Acknowledging a young marriage with a bleak future.
But that's just the way that it goes
Accepting the inevitability of their destined life path.
When a god-fearing woman falls in love with a man
Highlighting the conflict between religious beliefs and a wanderer's lifestyle.
Who dreams of a life on the road
Expressing dreams of a life on the road.
She prays each night that the lord is beside me
His wife's nightly prayer for his safety while he acts recklessly.
And I'm out actin' a fool
Acknowledging foolish behavior while away from home.
And I'll pray to the porcelain god at the bar
Describing a scene of praying to the toilet after excessive drinking.
And I'll stumble on back to my stool
Returning to a barstool after a night of revelry.
Lord it's hard getting up in the morning
Repetition of the difficulty in starting the day.
Lord it's hard giving up getting stoned
Repetition of the struggle to quit substance use.
Lord it's hard to find light in the darkness
Repeating the challenge of finding hope in a dark situation.
Lord it's hard to feel so alone
Reiterating the emotional pain and loneliness.
Well she cries every night when she's laying in bed
His wife's nightly sorrow while he's away.
And I'm out running around
Continuing to engage in activities that cause worry.
She lives in fear that one day her husband
His wife's fear of him leaving her.
Will pack all his stuff and leave town
Imagining the possibility of leaving town and abandoning his marriage.
And I'm hatin' myself 'cause I really do love her
Expressing self-hatred for causing distress despite loving his wife.
And I know at the end of the day
Acknowledging the love for his wife despite his flaws.
Them girls and them dogs are all I got left
Highlighting the importance of the women and dogs in his life.
And running off just ain't my way
Rejecting the idea of leaving, as it goes against his nature.
Lord it's hard getting up in the morning
Repetition of the difficulty in starting the day.
Lord it's hard giving up getting stoned
Repetition of the struggle to quit substance use.
Lord it's hard to find light in the darkness
Repeating the challenge of finding hope in a dark situation.
Lord it's hard to feel so alone
Reiterating the emotional pain and loneliness.
Lord it's hard to feel so alone
Repeating the overall difficulty of feeling alone.
