What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I gave up the fast lane for a
2
blacktop county road.
3
Just burned out on all that talk
4
about the motherlode.
5
I traded for a songbird and
6
a bigger piece of sky.
7
When I miss the good old days
8
I can't imagine why.
9
CHORUS:
10
Still I get restless
11
and drive into town
12
I cruise once down Main Street
13
and turn back around.
14
It's crazy but God knows
15
I don't act my age
16
like an old desperado
17
who paints the town beige.
18
Down along the river
19
and past the swimming hole
20
you can find your piece of mind
21
with just a fishin' pole.
22
And you can walk the river
23
for miles and miles on end
24
and never stop believin' in
25
that dream around the bend.
26
CHORUS:
27
Still I get restless
28
and drive into town
29
my radio playin'
30
my window rolled down.
31
It's crazy but God knows
32
I don't act my age
33
like an old desperado
34
who paints the town beige.
35
Deep down in the winter
36
time slows to a crawl.
37
There's really nothin' much to do
38
until the first spring thaw.
39
It's then I get to thinkin'
40
I must have gone insane.
41
Memories roll through my mind
42
like a long slow railroad train.
43
CHORUS:
44
Still I get restless
45
and drive into town
46
watch the world through a windshield
47
as it all comes unwound.
48
It's crazy but God knows
49
I don't act my age
50
like an old desperado
51
who paints the town beige
