Heavy And Rolling

(album: Uptown Special - 2015)

Start up the engine, we're heavy and rolling
Tankful of gas and the night is young
Don't know you
Don't care where you're going
To the Highline or the heart of the sun
My sweet companion is long as the summer
Black as the river and built to glide
Smooth as glass
Smooth as Marcus Miller
Cold as ice when you climb inside

[Chorus:]
When the city's flowing
I found a way to move my weary soul
Riding straight and low
Stay heavy and rolling

You deal in ducats, you deal in illusion
Pay for pleasure with your pretty face
You confuse
War and prostitution
In my starship I sail freely through space

[Chorus]

I was lost and lonely like you
Hollow-eyed and broken inside
Then I found something lasting and true
A beautiful ride
Might have to wait to start in on your drinking
All of Hell's Kitchen's standing in that line
I'll be here
Living in my Lincoln
Occupying space and conquering time

[Chorus]
