Eric Andersen - Rollin' Home Lyrics
(Verse 1)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 tiedWithout 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 gameWithout ideas of gold or fame or insane heights.I don't want 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.(Chorus)But I don't know, I ain't been told,Ev'rybody wants a hand to hold.They're so afraid of being old,So scared of dying, so unknownAnd so alone,we're rollin' home.(Verse 2)There's nothing big I want to prove,No mountains that I need to move,Or even claim 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 newBut for me, I know they'll do,But for me, I know they'll do.Well if you care what people think,Like they supplied some missing link;They'll just stand back and watch you sink so 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 knowWhat you should do, where you should go,What you should do, where you should go.(Chorus)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,They're scared of dying, so unknownAnd so alone,we're rollin' home.(Verse 3)I can't claim I know my FatherI've been lookin' for my brotherAnd I end up just another oneFantasies and prophesies fill me head like fallin leavesWell underneath I don't believe oneI want to do what's been doneYou can try hide he can runWell, I can see a king and queen, a beggar falling at my feet;They all must see the same sad dreams at night;Futility and senseless war, pit the rich against the poor,While cause is buried long before the fightFor what was wrong, for what was right,It's just the strong, who ever says what's right.(Chorus)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,They're scared of dying, so unknownAnd so alone,we're rollin' home.
