Lyrics Rollin' Home - Eric Andersen

Rollin' Home

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
