Good Enough for Rock and Roll
Rolling Home: A Rock and Roll Journey
Lyrics
Heading east on 20, out of downtown Birmingham.
Traveling east on Highway 20, leaving downtown Birmingham.
Clocking 57 days on the road.
Having spent 57 consecutive days on tour.
The rig is still rolling. on to south Carolina,
The truck is still moving towards South Carolina.
Me and the boys got one more show to go.
Chuck Ragan and his band have one more performance left.
And we keep on rolling smooth, like the old Cahaba river do.
Continuing their journey smoothly, reminiscent of the steady flow of the Cahaba River.
Passing time with sleep and alcohol.
Passing time by sleeping and consuming alcohol.
Everything's broken but we keep on trucking forward.
Despite facing various issues, they persist and move forward.
Brother, it's all good enough for rock and roll.
Despite challenges, they accept it as sufficient for the lifestyle of rock and roll.
Heading east on 20, out of downtown Birmingham,
Similar to line 1, reiterating their direction on Highway 20.
Burning diesel like it's going out of style.
Using diesel fuel rapidly during the journey.
The state line is coming and the road is getting shorter,
Approaching the state border, indicating the end of their road for this trip.
I believe we've got about 15 miles.
Approximately 15 miles left until their destination.
And we keep on rolling smooth, like the old Cahaba river do.
Continuing their smooth journey, akin to the consistent flow of the Cahaba River.
Passing time with sleep and alcohol.
Utilizing sleep and alcohol to pass the time.
Everything's broken but we keep on trucking forward.
Persisting despite everything being in disrepair.
Brother, it's all good enough for rock and roll.
Accepting the hardships as adequate for the rock and roll lifestyle.
Yea we'll hang this hat in west Columbia.
Planning to leave their hat as a memento in West Columbia.
Leave it on the wall for later on.
Leaving something behind for future recollection.
Well there ain't no "good byes" on the road,
Implying that goodbyes aren't common in their nomadic lifestyle.
Unless you aim to be dead and gone.
Suggesting that farewells only happen if one's life ends.
Heading east on 20, out of downtown Birmingham.
Reiterating their direction on Highway 20 out of Birmingham.
Man the rain finally left us all alone.
Expressing relief that the rain has finally stopped.
Walker steering steady, like a man on a mission.
Comparing the steadiness of the steering to a determined person.
Doing everything he can to get us home.
The driver is doing everything possible to return home.
And we keep on rolling smooth, like the old Cahaba river do.
Continuing their journey smoothly, similar to the flow of the Cahaba River.
Passing time with sleep and alcohol.
Using sleep and alcohol to pass the time.
Everything's broken but we keep on trucking forward.
Persevering despite everything being in a state of disrepair.
Brother, it's all good enough for rock and roll.
Accepting the hardships as suitable for the rock and roll lifestyle.
Yea we'll hang this hat in west Columbia,
Planning to leave their hat in West Columbia as a keepsake.
Leave it on the wall for later on.
Intending to leave something behind for future remembrance.
Well there ain't no goodbyes on the road,
Stating the rarity of goodbyes during their traveling life.
Unless you aim to be dead and gone
Indicating that farewells occur only in the event of death.
Yea we'll hang this hat in west Columbia,
Repeating the idea of leaving their hat in West Columbia as a symbol.
Leave it on the wall for later on.
Reiterating the act of leaving something behind for future recollection.
Well there ain't no goodbyes on the road,
Highlighting the infrequency of goodbyes during their nomadic lifestyle.
Unless you aim to be dead and gone
Reiterating that farewells occur only in the case of death.
Unless you aim to be dead and gone
Emphasizing that goodbyes are only inevitable in the event of death.
Unless you aim to be dead and gone.
Reiterating that farewells only happen in the event of death.
