On The Road
Frank Ciampi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been working all day
Walking through my front door and you take it away
All my pain
When blue turns to black
You showed me the light now ill never turn back
Cause you know I cant be alone
With all this pain
Woo hoo, your singing a song
Woo hoo, I'm singing along
Cause your always gonna be my girl
Woo hoo, you're spinning around
Woo hoo, I'm down on the ground
Cause your always gonna be my girl
Yea your always gonna be my girl

Are you home, there's no one here we're all alone
Although I try, your eyes are my grey sky
I really ought to
Tell you bout
How things have changed day in day out
Your face is dry, its time to say goodbye
I really ought to go

Take me back to Georgia
Cause I know you can
Take me back to heaven
Cause I know that you can

Take you for a walk lets go to the beach
Marriage and a baby not out of our reach
You're saying we're young and moneys to tight
So Anna don't forget to write

Send in the tanks
Send in the clowns
You know it's over honey
Just sing out loud

On the road
Travel with the big top
I don't know if
We'll be fine
If sally's sailing off this time
Everybody's dreaming of a place to
Run and hide
Finding other work
But baby I don't mind
Lets Pack these bags
With sample soap and circus mags
I think we ought to go'

You know we shouldn't have to die
So many feelings left inside to hide,
But ill be holding my head up high




So many pages left unturned
So many lessons left unlearned tonight but ill be holding my head up high

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Frank Ciampi's "On The Road" revolve around two major themes: love and the desire for freedom. The song begins with the singer's pain being taken away by his significant other. She 'showed him the light' and now he never wants to be alone with that kind of pain, making it clear that he is now dependent on her love. The chorus is a joyful expression, where he proclaims his love for her, exclaiming that she'll always be his girl. The second verse starts with yearning for her presence and goes on to describe how he wants to go back to Georgia and heaven, indicating that he feels being with her is a heavenly experience. It then moves onto a mention of walking on the beach, getting married and having a baby. However, he acknowledges that they are young, and money is tight, but asks her to write. The lyrics then take a turn and shift towards a more ambiguous tone in the final verse, where the singer talks about running away from their problems and joining the circus. Acknowledging that dreams of a place to run and hide are common, but the singer doesn't mind, and is willing to pack up their bags and leave. The song ends with the singer holding his head up high, not wanting to hide any of his feelings anymore.

So many lessons left unlearned tonight
There is still much we need to learn and understand


But ill be holding my head up high
Despite everything, I will remain strong
