about

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

-- From The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

lyrics

Slipping past Barstow
Sliding on a dime
Dreaming 'bout getting back even

Chased by the pistol
Hounded by the tide
Still got my mojo, it's working

My girlfriend, she's pregnant for the second straight time
And I can't help thinking that neither one is mine
I ain't got the heart to make her take the test
She does all those things I like best

I'm riding, I'm hiding
I'm dealing on my wheels
I'm playing and praying
The glue will hold the seals
But mostly I'm trying
To leave it all behind
Just rollin' and tumblin' away

We drink, we smoke, and we gamble
If you're selling, we'll take a sample
We hang around awhile, then we ramble on
Just like that old Zeppelin song

She's happier now
That's what I heard
At least that's how it looks on the surface
She broke my heart and I broke my word
But neither one was on purpose

I'm riding, I'm hiding
I'm dealing on my wheels
I'm playing and praying
The glue will hold the seals
But mostly I'm trying
To leave it all behind
Just rollin' and tumblin' away

We don't lie, we don't cheat, and we don't steal
What I'm hiding I can't conceal
When I say I love you it's for real
Even when it's not what I mean

I'm riding, I'm hiding
I'm dealing on my wheels
I'm playing and praying
The glue will hold the seals
But mostly I'm trying
To leave it all behind
Just rollin' and tumblin' away
Just rollin' and tumblin' away...
