Every day in this house seems the same
I wanna go where no one knows my name
I hope I never led you to believe that
The day would never come when I would leave
This is no way to say goodbye
But I never was good at telling lies

These four walls are closing in on me
Is this the way that life's supposed to be?
Sitting in each day on my own
Just waiting for you to come home
I never meant to cause you any pain
But I never wanna see this place again

It doesn't matter what you say
Cos I'm already on my way
Look for me tomorrow and I'll be gone
Dancing with the working man
Looking for the big rock candy mountain
Rolling down the hillside in the sun

And whatever you decide to do
I hope the sun will always shine on you
By the time you see things my way
I'll be halfway down the highway
One day darling you will see
You'll smile when you remember me

It doesn't matter what you say
Cos I'm already on my way
Look for me tomorrow and I'll be gone
Dancing with the working man
Looking for the big rock candy mountain
Rolling down the hillside in the sun

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
