Voices
JAKE$AND Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If there's a plane
Or a bus leaving Dallas
I hope you're on it
If there's a train moving fast
Down the tracks
I hope you caught it

'Cause I swear out there
Ain't where you ought to be
So, catch a ride, catch a cab
Don't you know I miss you bad
But don't you walk to me

Baby run
Cut a path across the blue skies
Straight in a straight line
You can't get here fast enough

Find a truck and fire it up
Lean on the gas and off the clutch
Leave Dallas in the dust
I need you in a rush
So baby run

If you ain't got a suitcase get a box
Or an old brown paper sack
Pack it light or pack it heavy
Take a truck, take a Chevy
Baby just come back

There's a shortcut
To the highway out of town
Oh, why don't you take it?
Don't let that speed limit slow you down
Go on and break it

Baby run
Cut a path across the blue skies
Straight in a straight line
You can't get here fast enough

Find a truck and fire it up
Lean on the gas and off the clutch
Leave Dallas in the dust
I need you in a rush
So baby run





Oh, baby run
Hm

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of JAKE$AND's song "Voices" convey the longing of someone who desperately wants their lover to come back to them. The opening lines express a hope that their lover catches a plane, bus, or train and hurries to return to them. The singer feels that being out there without their lover is not where they should be. They miss them badly and urge them to come back as fast as possible. The chorus repeats the call to action: to find a truck, fire it up, and leave Dallas in the dust. The singer can barely wait and implores their lover to hurry and run back to them.


This song is an emotional one, encouraging the listener to empathize with the singer's desperation to have their lover back with them. It is universal in that it describes the way anyone can feel when they miss someone deeply. The urgency in the lyrics mirrors the pace of life that most of us have: always in a rush, always running after something or someone. The repeated line "baby run" adds to the tension and stress of the situation, as the singer longs for their lover to hurry to be reunited with them.
