It Won't Be Long
Jeff & Sheri Easter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't be long some day
It's on the way
Can we just stop the drive for the night?
In the car
I'm just gonna buy some cigarettes
I'll be back in a minute
Fill the gas
How far do you think we can make it?
Wait for me
Endlessly
I won't be long
I won't be long
Wait for me
Endlessly
I won't be long
I won't be long
Odds are long
Odds are long let's take our chances
Two for one
We can't pass a deal like that when you're a winner
In the car
I'm just gonna buy some lotto tickets
I'll be back with two
Wipe the windshield
You know we can't see a thing
Where do you think we're headed?
Wait for me
Endlessly
I won't be long
I won't be long
Wait for me
Endlessly
I won't be long
I won't be long
Move along
Move along there's nothing to see here
Two dead
A head on strike like lightning
In the car
I'm just gonna pry you out of here
You'll be back in a bit
Ma'am you've won
You know he's gone
Grab your lotto ticket
Cause I know that you can make it
Wait for me
Endlessly
I won't be long
I won't be long
Wait for me
Endlessly
I won't be long
I won't be long
Wait for me
Endlessly
I won't be long
I won't be long
The lyrics of Jeff & Sheri Easter's song "It Won't Be Long" describe a journey that is interrupted by various stops along the way. The singer promises that they won't be long each time they stop, but the stops become increasingly ominous as the song progresses. The first stop is innocent enough as it simply involves buying cigarettes and filling up the tank. However, the second stop involves buying lotto tickets in the hopes of winning big. The third stop is the most alarming, as the singer mentions a head-on collision that they have witnessed. They then promise to return and pry the listener out of their current situation so that they can move on together.
The repetition of the phrase "wait for me endlessly" throughout the song creates a sense of urgency and desperation. The singer seems to be assuring the listener that they will make it through the journey together, despite the obstacles they encounter along the way. The lyrics suggest that hope is always just around the corner, but it requires patience and perseverance to reach it. The repeated promise that "it won't be long" reinforces the idea that the difficulties they face are only temporary.
