Big Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got the tail pipes smokin'
Lane to lane floatin'
No GPS loadin'
'Cause even when I got no place to go
It's just me, myself, and the open road
And when I hit the I-24
You're damn right
Outta sight
I'm gone
But baby, I'll be back by dawn
'Til then crank my favorite song
'Cause I got that clear blue sky
Sunshine on my mind
Highway by my side
Yeah, I'm doing just fine
I feel that wind blowing through my soul
Tellin' me which way that I need to go
So I keep rollin', rollin', rollin'
You know I gotta keep it rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
Now my old school Riviera can't be stopped
My Chevy lookin' pretty when I drop the top
So everybody in the stix they know
When they see the whip rollin' they be like
That's Smo
Baby, they ain't no other way to go
Haulin' ass
While I listen to the radio
Hit the gas
No doubt
Y'all know what I'm about
I put the key in the ignition
And I'm out
I got that clear blue sky
Sunshine on my mind
Highway by my side
Yeah, I'm doing just fine
I feel that wind blowing through my soul
Tellin' me which way that I need to go
So I keep rollin', rollin', rollin'
You know I gotta keep it rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
Now if you're on a dirt road
Or in the grass
If you goin' real slow
Or movin' fast
As long as you're feelin' it in your soul
Better let them windows down
Turn it up and let's roll
I got that clear blue sky
Sunshine on my mind
Highway by my side
Yeah, I'm doing just fine
I feel that wind blowing through my soul
Tellin' me which way that I need to go
So I keep rollin', rollin', rollin' (ooh, yeah)
You know I gotta keep it rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'

The song opens with the artist describing how they plan to take time and proceed with caution but while still maintaining a forward momentum. They intend to be smooth and keep moving forward while facing the challenges life throws their way. The verse is all about setting one's pace, and how keeping that pace is crucial.
The chorus of the song talks about how the singer keeps rolling no matter what. They are lucky, and everything seems to come easy to them. They believe that anything can be overcome with a "don't let nothing get to you strategy." The singer is resilient and persistent. They believe in themselves and their capability to overcome everything.
The second verse is a continuation of the first verse. The artist is riding the wave of life and does not want anything to slow down their momentum.

I'm gonna take my time
I am going to proceed at a slow, methodical pace
Throw it in neutral
I am going to pause and let things happen without an active effort
Tip toe
I am going to move stealthily and carefully
Pick my foot up off the break
I am going to stop being hesitant and take action
I'm gonna redefine
I am going to change the current situation to fit my needs and desires
Smooth in stereo
I will be moving with style and grace, like music to the ear
Drop low
I am going to lower my expectations and ground myself

Forgive me for enjoying my good fortune and succeeding easily
Au revoir, auf wiedersehen
Goodbye, farewell
It's a slippery slope
The journey is precarious and may lead to failure
But I don't let it phase my pace
But I do not let this slow me down or affect my determination
On and on again
The cycle of success will continue
Through your roadblock paradise
I will find success even in difficult situations
I could do this all damn night
I can continue to succeed indefinitely
I got this secret up my sleeve
I have a trick or tactic up my sleeve to ensure success
I keep, I keep, I keep on, I keep on
I persist and continue on
Ooh (Rollin')
I am on a roll
I keep, I keep rollin' (ooh)
I keep moving forward and succeeding with ease

Here are the lyrics:
We're a Great Big Rollin' Railroad, one that everybody knows,
We were born of Gold and Silver Spikes, a hundred years ago,
We're a million miles of history a-shinin' in the sun,
We're the Union Pacific and our story's just begun...
From the Great Plains of Nebraska to the California seas,
From the Summits of the Rockies to the mighty redwood trees
We're a thousand wheels of freight train, hear the diesel engine's power,
We're the Union Pacific, doin' ninety miles an hour...
Bound from Omaha to Portland through Cheyenne and Laramie,
We're a-headin' west for Boise on the Mainline to the sea
'Cross the flats at Salt Lake City, on to Vegas and L.A.
We're the Union Pacific and we've got the Right-of-Way.
From the green fields of the Prairies to the blue Pacific shore,
We deliver your great cargo and come rollin' home for more.
On the backbone of Our Nation you can see us make the climb,
We're the Union Pacific and we're gonna be on time....
From the green fields of the Prairies to the blue Pacific shore,
We deliver your great cargo and come rollin' home for more.

We're the Union Pacific, and we're gonna be on time....

Be fair to Amtrak it was set up to fail+has to run on lines that be federally owned but we're stupidly privatized....
@spencerhopkinson9874
@@TheAngelobarker there should be no federal owned rails
@harrisonofcolorado8886
@@spencerhopkinson9874 I would like to respectfully disagree with your opinion. I believe that Amtrak is not in a good position to be a private railroad. It's constantly running in the red (even though they were so close to breaking even before COVID hit), and suffering from old equipment and doesn't have a great reputation with the public due to constantly delayed trains. If Amtrak were to be a private railroad, like you believe, then I believe this would have to happen:
1. Amtrak expanded into major population centers to connect with other existing trains, AND made trains go faster than 79MPH (Say 90 or 110MPH for those outside the NEC, and maybe introducing more high speed services), that would attract riders, the faster the train, the more riders you get
2. Amtrak and the freight railroads made some sort of arrangement that would stop the constant freight blockage that Amtrak trains (outside the NEC) suffer from. I mean, if Brightline and the FEC can do it, I believe Amtrak and the class 1s can too. Less delays means more ridership in my opinion.
3. Amtrak purchased new equipment that would minimize delays and provide more comfort and safety.
I believe there would have to be more than just those three points to make Amtrak financially independent, but those are a start. One reason I believe Amtrak should be a federal corporation and not a private corporation is because my biggest concern if that were to ever happen is, "if Amtrak were private, would it be on the stock market?" I'm worried that if Amtrak were on the stock market, the management would focus solely on lucrative lines rather than lines that serve areas where people have practically no other way to get in or out of their town (The Empire Builder is a big example of this as there are towns along the one without interstates for over 100 miles or so, not to mention, few or no regional airports at all.) not to mention downgrade the service on it's trains to maximize profit all just to give returns to a bunch of company ruiners on Wall Street. Many freight railroads are more concerned over shareholders, which (from what I am told and believe) is a major reason (not so)Precision (not so) Scheduled (not so railroaded) Railroading exists. Another reason I disagree with you is that in Britain, they privatized British Rail and while freight haulage got better, passenger haulage and quality didn't. As a result, many companies over promised and under-delivered resulting in some cases where the UK government had to resort to an "Operator of last resort" and were nationalized. The UK government is creating Great British Railways, but that's a body and not a company/corporation. And the USA is just so big and so not dense that population centers are scattered rather than in one confined area. Yes, I know, Japan has mostly private railways that came about after JNR was privatized, which are incredibly successful, but that's because the country is so small and has a high density, so operating trains there is incredibly successful and lucrative (and why someone from Kyoto could take the train to Tokyo in the morning and come back in time for dinner). So, I disagree with you believing that there shouldn't be a (federal) government system, but I'm not going to get angry with you over it, and I respect your opinion.

@@harrisonofcolorado8886 Amtrak is always in the red BECAUSE it’s federal.
Are you going to start arguing for government horse and buggy services because it would be “better than nothing”?
@harrisonofcolorado8886
@@spencerhopkinson9874 Well, making a company a private company doesn't automatically make it profitable, plus wasn't Conrail a U.S. government owned company that was profitable before the government handed Conrail to the private sector? Also YES, I am going to argue for (what you call) "horse & buggy services" because they are indeed better than nothing. Amtrak serves a lot of areas in America where there are no other means of transportation like roads or airports. Heck, on the Empire Builder line, there are no interstates in over 100 miles on several parts of the line. Not only that, but trains create many more millions if not Billions of dollars in economic activity. On several of the Amtrak connects us lines that Amtrak is proposing, several lines like the planned front range passenger rail line on a secondary BNSF corridor between Fort Collins and Pueblo, there could be 2.3 billion dollars in economic activity solely on one time investments, and in Indiana, a proposal for 2 lines from Chicago to Louisville and Cincinnati can generate 8.2 billion in economic activity solely from one time investments (and look at the economic activity from one time investments in the proposals for service from Tucson to Phoenix and Vegas to LA). Also, even if some trains aren't directly profitable, they still create even more in economic activity. (look at the economic activity that could come about if the North Coast Hiawatha was restored, the operating cost is slightly higher than the train revenue, but even higher in economic activity) This economic activity creates tax revenue for funding infrastructure, services and if that doesn't satisfy you, the tax funding from economic activity provided from Amtrak services into these small or big towns also goes into the military and the police. Also, you can't just train hop on a freight train from a small town to the city or another small town. Even if you're not caught, train hopping is a felony that can get you arrested, not only that but it's dangerous as hell. So yes indeed, I do believe train service is better than nothing, and that if we improve and expand the train service, there can be even more economic activity, and therefore, more tax revenue to fund infrastructure and the police.
