Notes
-
- Ricky Fataar and Blondie Chaplin were two South African natives who were previously in the band Flame. They had released a couple of records prior to being signed to the Beach Boys' Brother label. Carl Wilson produced their only Brother release. After Flame broke up, Fataar and Chaplin were invited to join the BB as sidemen. When Bruce Johnston left the group, Ricky and Blondie were promoted to full time Beach Boy status. Blondie as singer-lead guitarist and Ricky as drummer-multi-instrumentalist/singer.
- Very bluesy track, not something you expect to hear on a Beach Boys album.
- Lyrics

Here she comes
Breathing life in to my thoughts
There she goes
Leaves a portrait in my soul
Rolling in madness
She does everything to me
Wherever she goes you know the devil dances
And the gods lay down in defeat
Am I living
Crazy woman can't you see
That I'm giving
Giving to you can you dig
Me
I wanna live
To learn the truth before my door
Don't you know
I'm a simple man for all I know
This might be the hard way
But it's easier for me
To take all the changes that are always amazin'
But to never let 'em fence me in
Am I living
Crazy woman can't you see
That I'm giving
Giving to you can you dig
Me
Me I'm only searchin' for the things I really need
I can't rely on anyone to sow and grow my seeds
I started out on empty promise I was living on my dreams
I was a runaway son and now I'm up out of the water
And I can barely barely breathe
Rolling down the road
Rolling down the road
Rolling down the road
Rolling down the road
Rolling down the road
Listen listen
Hear the music play
Listen listen
Hear the music play yeah
Listen listen
Hear the music play
Listen listen
Hear the music play
Am I living
Crazy woman can't you see
That I'm giving
Giving to you can you dig
Me
