Rocking Horse Road Lyrics

Cover art for Rocking Horse Road lyrics by Elvis Costello

Love the musical accompaniment. The thumping bass drum & snake like guitar winding in & out of the verses reminds me of Rain Dogs era Tom Waits. As for the song's meaning, it's tricky to grasp because the points of view change. It can be about memories contained in walking down an old road. What happened on that road and what's happening in one's head might mix together in a fever dream.
