“Side of the Road” is the 10th track on Lucinda Williams' self-titled 1988 album Lucinda Williams.
They lyrics paint a scene in which the singer and his/her romantic partner had been traveling by car but pulled over next to a field, likely at the singer’s request. The partner waits in the car while...
[Verse 1]
You wait in the car on the side of the road
Let me go and stand awhile
I want to know you're there, but I wanna be alone
If only for a minute or two
I wanna see what it feels like to be without you
I wanna know the touch of my own skin
Against the sun, against the wind
[Verse 2]
I walked out in a field, the grass was high
It brushed against my legs
I just stood and looked out at the open space
And a farmhouse out aways
And I wondered about the people who lived in it
And I wondered if they were happy and content
Were there children and a man and a wife?
Did she love him and take her hair down at night?
[Verse 3]
If I stray away too far from you
Don't go and try to find me
It doesn't mean I don't love you
It doesn't mean I won't come back and stay beside you
It only means I need a little time
To follow that unbroken line
To a place where the wild things grow
To a place where I used to always go
[Outro]
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
If only for a minute or two
I wanna see what it feels like to be without you
I wanna know the touch of my own skin
Against the sun, against the wind
