The Rolling People Lyrics
I got one more life
Can you see it wasting away?
But I got a plan
Do you understand?
The drugstore wife
I was dealing soul and other white
I won't shake your hands
'Cause death has no plans
But here we are the rolling people
Can't stay for long
We gotta go
So come alive with the rolling poeple
Don't ask why
We just know
I'm on a big jet plane
With my briefcase and crime in my veins
I'll be the first to toast
To my rowdy soul
But here we are the rolling people
Don't ask why
We don't know
So come alive with the rolling people
Don't ask why
We just go now
Yeah
Don't even know which way I'm going to
The lights are on and I am feeling blue
I hope you know which way I'm going to fly
Thank you for my life
I said good night, good-bye
You see me going
But here we are the rolling people
Can't stay for long
We gotta go
So come alive with the rolling people
Don't ask why
We don't know now
Yeah
Can you see it wasting away?
But I got a plan
Do you understand?
I was dealing soul and other white
I won't shake your hands
'Cause death has no plans
Can't stay for long
We gotta go
Don't ask why
We just know
With my briefcase and crime in my veins
I'll be the first to toast
To my rowdy soul
Don't ask why
We don't know
Don't ask why
We just go now
Yeah
The lights are on and I am feeling blue
I hope you know which way I'm going to fly
Thank you for my life
I said good night, good-bye
Can't stay for long
We gotta go
Don't ask why
We don't know now
Yeah

i'm not sure, but it sounds like he's poking a bit of fun at working professionals.
this is one of my favorite driving songs
It doesn't look that bad I can see my dad
I think it's about about living life to the full and dying early, and accepting that it's the way life is for some people and there's no other way of living it.
Heaven help us, twelve interpretations and all wide of the mark. Suffice to say, the third stanza should read as follows:
I'm on a big jet plane With my briefcase and crime in my veins I'll be the first to toast To my ROTTEN soul
This song is not a glorification of that appalling way of life, quite the opposite in fact. Good night and God bless.
I'd say it's about a certain kind of people, who know where they're going and live their lives to the full.
The powerful guitar is McCabe's best.
Pure Rock and guitars! Great sound this song is just emotions
people coming alive together and having it
the rolling people always reminds me of people rolling on e
