Carry On
Green Pat Lyrics

Baby's just a little bit tired of the city, Billboards and bullshit got her down,
The singer is bored with the city life and exhausted by the superficiality of modern advertising.

Seem like you need a little hill country,
Escaping to the countryside is what the singer needs to quell their exhaustion and rejuvenate.

A little back roads driving,
Some country roads driving is necessary to shake off the weariness.

Little bit of the old top down,
Driving a car with the rooftop down is a must-have part of the experience.

Yeah, everybody gotta get away sometime,
It's a common feeling to want to escape from daily life for a while.

Forget about yourself for awhile,
Taking a break from self-reflection is necessary sometimes.

Seems to me that all you need is a ragtop car to ride with me,
The singer proposes a solution to their exhaustion; driving with the rooftop top down is a great way to recharge.

OK, alright,
Everything is going to be fine.

Just might get a little high tonight,
The artist is considering partaking in some drugs to enhance their experience.

Ol' Walt Wilkins lives up in Nashville,
The artist introduces a friend who lives in Nashville.

You know his eyes have seen the miles,
The eyes of the singer's friend have seen much of the world and show signs of experience.

Walt why don't you jump in Jim T's caddy,
The artist suggests that their friend comes to drink with them in Texas and offers a car for them to use.

Come down to Texas and drink with me awhile
The singer extends an invitation to their friend to escape to Texas for a while and enjoy each other's company with some drinks.

Will go down to El Arroyo have some tacos and beer
The singers have decided to go to El Arroyo's for some Mexican food and beer.

Yeah and let ourselves go
The two friends have decided to let loose and indulge in some relaxation.

I'ma make sure that you got your troubles,
The artist promises to make sure that their friend is taken care of.

I'ma make sure that you work too hard,
The artist promises to make sure their friend does not overwork themselves.

Ain't nobody that don't get tired,
Everyone gets tired at times, and it's important to acknowledge it.

Watch your troubles pile up big in your own backyard,
The singer advises their friend to deal with any problems they have before they become too significant.

Sometimes you've got to grab your world with your own two hands,
It is necessary to take control of one's life and steer it in the direction one wants.

Set it spinning off on a course all your own,
It is essential to find one's path in life and start living it.

Take yourself a big bag for your shoulder,
The artist advises their friend to bring a big bag to carry everything they need for their journey.

Find yourself some good times,
It is necessary to seek out enjoyable experiences for oneself.

Bring them on back home,
One should take positive experiences and learnings back with them.

Lay your whole life upon a shelf, got no one to blame but your own damn self,
One is responsible for their life, and if things go wrong, they have nobody to blame but themselves.

Heaven only knows what's gonna happen tonight,
The singer is unsure of what the future holds.

I'm OK, I'm alright,
The singer reassures themselves that everything is fine.

Carry on,
Keep persevering.
