Launches this Friday ‘Get Rollin”the new of nickelbackand the band has taken advantage of what little is left to release their third single, “High Time”which, broadly speaking, is nothing more than an ode to marijuana and the road.
The theme, with a certain air of country rock, talks about the nomadic life of the musician, traveling from one place to another in a “busted” van. Obviously, the protagonist of the song also consumes marijuana.
The same press release tells it like this: “High Time takes listeners on a smoky cross-country road trip that reminds us that it’s always 4:20 somewhere.”
Previously, Nickelback had already published “Those Days” Y “San Quentin”.
The lyrics of the song say the following:
Same old, same town, going nowhere,
Need a brand new view in front of me
Don’t need no map no need to pack
And don’t care much if we come back
Sittin’ still just wasn’t meant for me
Some folks just go Straight & Narrow
Turns out that life ain’t right for me
Cause every time we cross state lines
The grass we find on the other side
Always seems to twist up twice as green
Well it’s high time you and I got rollin’
Some place else we just gotta be
That beat up van I bought you thought was stolen
Looked like hell but felt like home to me
Strummin’, thumpin’ on the dashboard
Purple haze makes it hard to see
Two rearview says, three friends of mine
And four bald tires still rollin right
Taste of inspiration’s all we need.
Well it’s high time you and I got rollin’
(Like a rollin’ stone)
Some place else we just gotta be
That beat up van I bought you thought was stolen
(Ain’t been stollen long)
Looked like hell but felt like home to me
Eagles got us down to California
(Songs we’re singing on)
Beach boys got us surfin’ on the sea
We got stoned goin’ up to Colorado
(We been smoking’ on)
And couldn’t see the forest for the trees
Better take a picture
Cause baby I can betcha that
We won’t be round here for long
Freedom train keeps moving on
Stoppin’ off and take it slow
Top it off when we get low
Only way that this can last
If you got ass, the grass or gas.
Clappin’, tappin’, get your groove on.
Front seat drums and back seat harmonies,
when we drive by your country side
stick out your thumb if you need a ride
No one knows just where this road will lead
Well it’s high time you and I got rollin’
(Like a rollin’ stone)
Some place else we just gotta be
That beat up van I bought you thought was stolen
(Ain’t been stollen long)
Looked like hell but felt like home to me
Eagles got us down to California
(Songs we’re singing on)
Beach boys got us surfin’ on the sea
We got Rocky Mountain high in Colorado
(We been smoking’ on)
And couldn’t see the forest for the trees
