The ballad of Barbara

A, E, D, B

La chanson évoque la vie d'un chauffeur de camion qui passe son temps sur la route. Il décrit son quotidien fait de solitude et de répétition, loin des joies familiales que d'autres pourraient connaître. Au fil d'une conversation, il partage ses réflexions sur le travail, le manque de contact humain et le lien ténu qu'il entretient avec le monde qui l'entoure. Le refrain souligne sa réalité : tout ce qu'il fait, c'est conduire, avec pour seule rêve de rester en vie sur la route. Dans ce contexte, la chanson illustre la vie des routiers, souvent méconnue, où l'isolement et la routine dominent. C'est un témoignage sincère d'un monde en mouvement, où la route est à la fois un refuge et une prison.
