Hey, baby, what do I have to do
To make you love me too?

You've got to roll with me, Henry (alright, baby)
Roll with me, Henry (don't mean maybe)
Roll with me, Henry (any old time)
Roll with me, Henry (don't change my mind)
Roll with me, Henry (alright)
You better roll it while the rollin' is on
Roll on, roll on, roll on

While the cats are ballin'
You better stop your stallin'
Its intermission in a minute
So you better get with it
Roll with me, Henry
You better roll it while the rollin' is on
Roll on, roll on, roll on

Oh, oh, ooh-wee
Henry, you ain't movin' me
You better feel that boogie beat
And get the lead out of your feet

Roll with me, Henry
Roll with me, Henry
Roll with me, Henry
Roll with me, Henry
Roll with me, Henry
You better roll it while the rollin' is on
Roll on, roll on, roll on
Roll on

Roll with me, Henry
Alright, baby

Well, I ain't teasin' (talk to me, baby)
You better stop your freezin' (alright, mama)
If you want romancin' (okay, sugar)
You better learn some dancin' (mm, mm)
Roll with me, Henry (alright)
You better roll it while the rollin' is on
Roll on, roll on, roll on

Roll with me, Henry (alright, baby)
Roll with me, Henry (don't mean maybe)
Roll with me, Henry (any old time)
Roll with me, Henry (don't change my mind)
Roll with me, Henry (alright)
You better roll it while the rollin' is on
Roll with me, Henry (alright, baby)
Roll with me, Henry (alright, baby)
Oh, oh, Henry (oh, mama)
Roll with me, Henry (mm, mm)
Roll with me, Henry

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
