A Road is Just a Road

Mary Chapin Carpenter

Transposer:

  He pulled out in a cloud of dust   Laying rubber and spewing rust And on any road he'd take   He'd have his foot on the pedal and my heart on the brake(break)   Underneath the smooth tar curves   A road is only dust and dirt On a lonely interchange The signs all look the same 'Cause a road is just a road  and a feeling's just a feeling No matter where you go,  from Waterloo to Wichita A road is just a road  that the one you love is leaving on   And midnight's another dawn,  a hundred miles ago            His wheels spun out of sight of me Believing that I'd set him free But I'd heard the voice of the prisoner Saying he couldn't get enough of her You go by land, you go by air You go by sea, hell I don't care You can go any way you choose Wearing out the soles of your traveling shoes And a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling No matter where you go, from Bangor, Maine to Bakersfield A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago   And every sleepless night I see him Screaming by the scenery         Not noticing another mile That's rolled down between him and me                         'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling No matter where you go, from Saskatoon to San Antone A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago Yes, a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling No matter where you go, from San Bernardino to Sault Ste. Marie A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago

On With The Song

D, G, C, B, Am, Dm, F
La chanson évoque un départ sur la route, symbolisant le chemin que prend une personne aimée. L'auteur parle de la façon dont les routes peuvent sembler semblables, mais elles sont aussi le reflet de ses sentiments. Peu importe où l’on se trouve, chaque route souligne l'absence de celui qu’on aime, suggérant que les kilomètres qui nous séparent ne font qu'amplifier la douleur de la séparation. Le voyage devient une métaphore de la quête de liberté, mais aussi de l'attachement à l'autre, tout en révélant un paradoxe : malgré le mouvement, un lien profond demeure. C'est un portrait poignant des émotions liés à l'amour et à l'absence.
