Cover art for Rough God Goes Riding lyrics by Van Morrison

Who doesn't get a rough deal in life at one time or another?
Look at Movie Stars crying for attention: needy vacuums, you think, sometimes. Look at the poor: some shine from the inside, while cleaned up & given an opportunity to change top to bottom, some return to the bottom without a thought. Is that God Rough Riding? Where are we in the midst? It's hardly 1-dimensional. And what about the hand we are dealt? Our health, looks, parents, conditions? So is the song something laid on us? Van has said it. He's just a Songwriter. He's in the mix....we are in the mix Rough & smooth: Sand paper applications. Imagine learning as working with being wrong. If not, we couldn't improve on us.
See what I mean? We have to experience consequences to improve or be numb.
