BLAZE FOLEY

- Clay Pigeons Lyrics

I'm goin' down to the Greyhound Station, gonna get a ticket to ride
Gonna find that lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side
Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout two or three times
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat
Tryin' to hide my sorrow from the people I meet

and get along with it all
Go down where the people say "y'all"
Sing a song with a friend
Change the shape that I'm in,
And get back in the game,
And start playin' again

I'd like to stay but I might have to go to start over again
Might go back down to Texas, might go to somewhere that I've never been
And get up in the mornin' and go out at night
and I won't have to go home
Get used to bein' alone
Change the words to this song
Start singin' again

I'm tired of runnin' 'round lookin' for answers to questions that I already know
I could build me a castle of memories just to have somewhere to go
Count the days and the nights that it takes to get back in the saddle again
Feed the pigeons some clay
Turn the night into day
Start talkin' again, when I know what to say

I'm goin' down to the Greyhound Station, gonna get a ticket to ride
Gonna find that lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side
Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout two or three times
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat
Tryin' to hide my sorrow from the people I meet
And get along with it all

Go down where the people say "y'all"
Feed the pigeons some clay
Turn the night into day
Start talkin' again
When I know what to say

What is the meaning behind Clay Pigeons lyrics?


When we look deeper into its meaning, Blaze Foley's 'Clay Pigeons' is a poem about a person who feels lost and is looking for a new beginning. The Greyhound station is a place where one can leave and be born again, and the metaphor of feeding pigeons with clay is an analogy for one's effort to get the best out of a miserable situation and find proper ways of speaking after enduring hardships. Clay pigeons words mainly point to reflection, heartbreak, nostalgia, solitude and empowerment. The song lyrics, however, present the same themes in various forms: loneliness and the need for connection, starting over and new beginnings, and reflection and self-discovery. The lyrics express loneliness and sadness, are referring to smoking.
