Song Writing & Lyrics

Faithfully by Journey

Could I ask a question about the song "Faithfully" by Journey?

What does "And loving a music man ain't always what it's supposed to be" mean?

Thank you.

The first two verses of its lyrics are below:

Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love along the wire

They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line it's been you and me
And loving a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh Girl
You stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully

Do not search for meaning or grammar in song lyrics. They are artistic expressions of emotions or beliefs and are difficult to understand - even by native speakers. Your sentence might mean "loving a musician is not what you thought it would be" or it could mean something completely different.

Hi,

Wise mothers tell their daughters -


Never marry a musician.

He'll love his music first.

Then you.[8]
