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 k** 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 (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 And they're scared of dying, so unknown And so alone,we're rollin' home (Verse 2) 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 (Chorus) 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 (Verse 3) 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 (Chorus) 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
