Rolling on down the fast track

The video you are about to see reveals a lively side of me playing on stage with my wife Lea wailing on the harmonica on November 30th, 2018. Playing guitar is Steve Horvat, on ukulele is Linda O'Connell, Daryl Wakeham on the conga and the unknown drummer who I can't remember his name.

When listening to this track, picture if you will - a small town; plenty of wife swapping and knoodling going on. As a single man, or prey rather, the songwriter in me was compelled to write about the interesting situation I was living in. Playing it on stage always makes me chuckle because it's a rock-a-billy hoedown that brings out the Elvis in me and gets people grooving on the dance floor. This acoustic version has plenty of opportunities for lead breaks , harmony vocals and, of course, harmonica.

The video is a hoot, but the studio version is better, so follow me on Spotify and other platforms to hear the best tracks. Here are the lyrics to keep on rolling. Thanks for listening! Mark Sheldan

Then you can sing along to the words below:

I'm Rollin'

Hey little mamma I know you’re sweet

But I ain’t the cat that you want to meet

I’m rollin’, rollin’ on down the fast track

I’m rollin’ baby I ain’t about to double back

You know you’ve been readin’ all kinds of books

But uh huh honey, I love your looks

I’m rollin’, rollin’ on down the fast track

I’m rollin’ baby I ain’t about to double back

You might even hear me say I love you

But you takes your chances when you dance with me

I can offer one night good time baby

But that’s the limit of my guarantee

My heart is loose most of the time

I got no obligations and I’m feelin’ fine

I’m rollin’, rollin’ on down the fast track

I’m rollin’ baby and I ain’t about to double back

You might even hear me say I love you

But you takes your chances when you dance with me

I can offer one night good time baby, baby, baby

But that’s the limit of my guarantee

I’ve heard you mention that you think I’m nice

Better check the merchandise out twice

I’m rollin’ baby and I ain’t about to double

I’m rollin’ baby I ain’t about to double

I’m rollin’ baby I ain’t about to double back
