On the Way Lyrics
I'd like to come and see you
But what's it worth to know?
Promise you'll make it easy
You won't get me to go
I've been a wreck so long it's hard to pull it back,
but I'm on it,
and I want it,
and you flaunt it...
and it wakes me,
and it takes me,
and it rapes me
Gone away.
On the way I want to let you go
I got a little red
Just can't pull it together
Before it goes to your head
Gone away.
On the way
On the way
On the way
[Solo]
I'd like to come and see you
But I think I'm on my way
Gone away
Gone away
On the way
On the way
On the way
Gone away
I've been a wreck so long,
it's hard to pull it out
Look to me,
I feel the fool again.
But what's it worth to know?
Promise you'll make it easy
You won't get me to go
I've been a wreck so long it's hard to pull it back,
but I'm on it,
and I want it,
and you flaunt it...
and it wakes me,
and it takes me,
and it rapes me
Gone away.
On the way I want to let you go
I got a little red
Just can't pull it together
Before it goes to your head
Gone away.
On the way
On the way
On the way
But I think I'm on my way
Gone away
Gone away
On the way
On the way
On the way
Gone away
I've been a wreck so long,
it's hard to pull it out
Look to me,
I feel the fool again.

I have no idea what this song is actually about. I like it though.
There is no way he's saying rape. 99% it's rakes or breaks. You can hear the k. You just can't understand the drawl.
But I do not see j using rape as a metaphor here.
