Bo's first album, titled The Real Thing, was released on December 13th, 2005. It includes several original songs on which Bo shares writing credit such as “It’s My Life”, which Bo wrote with Clif Magness and Kara DioGuardi.
Bo's second album, "See The Light" was released October 23, 2007. It was recorded in his own studio, and under his own independent record label, Sugar Money (teamed up with StratArt for that project). The album was co-produced by Bo and Frank Liddell. The songs (all written by Bo, some in collaboration with friends) reflect a diverse spectrum--from all-out southern rock, country, funk, to emotional ballads.
Keep on Rollin'
Bo Bice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hard to make it by on minimum wage.
Nobody I know got it made in the shade
Round and round and round we go
You better get up, lord you better get up, people don't you know
You better wake up, child, you better wake up get your feet back on the floor
If you feel your spirits sinking, let your worries go
Hearts get broke and love gets lost
Nobody worry about what its gonna cost
Who's gonna pay when the dice gets tossed
So it's round and round and round we go
You better to get up, better get up, people don't you know
You better to wake, child, you better wake up get your feet back on the floor
If you feel your spirits sinking, you let your worries go
You got to keep on rollin', down that road,
Better keep on rollin', down that road
It's round and round and round we go
You better to get up, lord you better get up, people don't you know
You go to wake up, child, you better wake and get your feet back on the floor
If you feel your spirits sinking, you let your worries go
You got to keep on rollin', down that road
You got to keep on rollin', down that road
You got to keep on rollin', down that road
Bo Bice's song "Keep on Rollin'" is about the struggles of daily life and the need to keep pushing forward despite the difficulties. The opening lines of the song suggest that the bills are piling up and it is hard to make ends meet with a minimum wage. The singer emphasizes that no one he knows has made it "in the shade," meaning that everyone is dealing with some sort of struggle or challenge.
The chorus of the song urges the listener to keep going despite these struggles. The repeated phrase "you better get up" encourages people to take action and not give up. Bice acknowledges that hearts get broken and love gets lost, but he stresses that it is important not to worry about the cost of these losses. Instead, it is important to keep moving forward, because that is what life is all about.
In the second verse, Bice emphasizes that life is unpredictable, and sometimes things do not go as planned. The phrase "who's gonna pay when the dice gets tossed" suggests that sometimes we are dealt a bad hand in life, but we have to keep moving regardless. The second chorus repeats the message of the first: keep going, let your worries go, and keep on rollin'.
Overall, "Keep on Rollin'" is a message of hope and resilience. It acknowledges that life is tough, but it encourages the listener to keep pushing forward and not give up.
