Rollin' Home - Eric Andersen

Truth, with all its far out schemes

Lets time decide what it should mean;

It ain’t the time but just the dreams that die

And sometimes when the room is still

Time with so much truth to kill

Leaves you by the window sill so tied

Without a wing, I take you high

Without a clue I tell you why

Now, I just want to keep my name, not bother anybody’s games

Without ideas of gold or fame or insane heights

I don’t need a lot of money, I don’t want a Playboy Bunny

Just a love to call me honey late at night

In my arms, by my side, in my arms late at night

But I don’t know, I ain’t been told

Everyone is so alone

Ev’rybody wants a hand to hold

They’re so afraid of being old

And they’re scared of dying, so unknown

And so alone, we're rollin' home

There’s nothing big I want to prove

No mountains that I want to move

Or even say what’s right or true for you

My sights, my songs are slightly charred

You might feel they miss their mark

But things are only what they are and nothing new

But for me, I know they’ll do

But for me, I know they’ll do

Well if you care what people think

Like they were some missing link;

They’ll just stand back and watch you sink slow

They’ll never help you to decide

They’ll only take you on a ride

After which they’ll try and hide the fact that they don’t know

What you should do, where you should go

What you should do, where you should go

WelI I don’t know, I ain’t been told

Everyone is so alone

Ev’rybody wants a hand to hold

They’re so afraid of being old

They’re scared of dying, so unknown

And so alone, we're rollin' home

I can’t claim I know my Father

I’ve been lookin' for my brother

And I end up just another one

Fantasies and prophesies fill me head like fallin leaves

Well underneath I don’t believe one

I want to do what’s been done

You can try hide he can run

Well, I can see a king and queen, a beggar falling at my feet;

They all must have the same sad dreams at night;

Futility breeds senseless war, pit the rich against the poor

While cause is buried long before the fight

For what went wrong, for what went right

It’s just the strong man, who ever says what’s right

Well I don’t know, I ain’t been told

Everyone is so alone

Ev’rybody wants a hand to hold

They’re so afraid of being old

They’re scared of dying, so unknown

And so alone, we're rollin' home

We’re rollin' home
