Meaning of Riverboat Fantasy by David Wilcox (CA)

"Riverboat Fantasy" by David Wilcox (CA) is a song that transports the listener to a nostalgic and whimsical world of riverboat adventures, romance, escapism, and the allure of a carefree lifestyle. Let's break down the key lyrics and their meanings:

The opening verse sets the scene of the song, with the narrator describing a festive atmosphere on a riverboat with his Cajun queen. There is a sense of celebration and freedom as they cruise down the Mississippi River.

The reference to the year 1894 gives the song a historical context, adding to the old-timey charm and romanticized nostalgia of a bygone era.

The chorus emphasizes the enchanting allure of the riverboat fantasy, with references to rock & roll music, substance use (reefer), and indulging in a hedonistic lifestyle. It conveys a sense of living in the moment and embracing escapism to cope with life's struggles.

The imagery of "Cocaine kisses and moonshine misses" suggests a wild and rebellious lifestyle, filled with excitement and danger. These substances represent a form of escape from reality for the narrator.

The verses describe moments of introspection and reflection, with references to the weather, the passage of time, and contemplating one's life choices. The narrator seems to grapple with inner turmoil and the need to escape from heartache and troubles.

The mention of the Delta sun and the low down blues hint at the hardships and struggles faced by the narrator, juxtaposed with the temporary freedom and joy found on the riverboat.

Overall, "Riverboat Fantasy" conveys a theme of seeking temporary escape and solace from life's challenges through indulgence, music, and romanticized adventures. The riverboat symbolizes a metaphorical journey away from the burdens of reality, offering a brief reprieve from the mundane and a glimpse of a more carefree existence. The song captures the longing for freedom, spontaneity, and the pursuit of happiness in the face of hardship and heartache.

In summary, "Riverboat Fantasy" by David Wilcox (CA) serves as a musical escape into a world of fantasy, nostalgia, and hedonistic pleasures, all within the backdrop of a riverboat journey.

I made my money, I found me a honey

To tickle me under my chin

When mornin' comes I'll ride into town

And worry 'bout the shape I'm in
