Jugtown Pirates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and the fog rolls in, the cold wind blows
Well I was going for a drive
Following the curved lines of the coastal highway
The fog got so thick, I couldn't see the sun
So I pulled over to the side
I wandered into a bar and I sat on a stool
there were 3 fishermen playing a game of pool
Well he appeared to be a man of about 60 years
old and he started talking to me in a slow and raspy voice. He told me about his life of ups and downs, his successes and failures. He told me about the love he lost and the money he made, only to lose it all again. He said, "Son, easy come, easy go, that's how it is in this world. Don't get too attached to anything because it can all slip away in a moment's notice."
The lyrics of "Easy Come Easy Go" by Jugtown Pirates describe a chance encounter with an old man in a bar, who imparts a philosophical lesson about the nature of life. The song's setting in Northern California, where the weather and environment can be unpredictable and harsh, adds to the sense of impermanence and uncertainty. The singer's road trip seems to be a metaphor for life's journey, with twists and turns and unexpected challenges. The old man's advice to let go of attachment and accept life's fluctuations is a valuable reminder to appreciate the present moment and not take anything for granted.
