Homesick Gypsy

Chris Knight

Pour my soul into my song
Playin' for the people all night long
I work hard for my money and I want it now
Don't make me have to tear your juke joint down

[Chorus]
I'm a home homesick gypsy
I was born movin' down the line
I'm a homesick gypsy
I ain't home till I leave you behind

Now I'm hard as a white oak tree
A month on the road and three days sleep
I got a girl in every town I play
I'm sure missin' the one I had yesterday

[Chorus]

My worst nightmare is standin' still
Gotta get my fix of those rollin' wheels
When I die don't ya dig no holes
Just scatter my ashes where the strong wind blows

[Chorus]

I ain't home till I leave you behind

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
