Rock N Roll Lyrics
He’s been waiting around the weekend
Figuring which club to sneak in Fancy drinks and fifty-dollar cover charge Lately it’s been a big hassle Heineken and New Castle To make sure he’s fitting in and living large Disregard the lies that he will tell and what he’s probably like Its not hard his charm is gonna Get him through the night CHORUS If he wants to rock he rocks If he wants to roll he rolls He can roll with the punches Long as he feels like he’s in control If he wants to stay he stays If he wants to go he goes He doesn’t care how he gets there Long as he gets somewhere he knows See her heavy make up and cut t-shirt Every girl out wants to be her But they look the same already why adjust Reading the magazine secrets Forgetting the topical regrets If she comes home all alone the nights a bust It’s a must the swivel in her hips And the look she gives It’s all her trust if only in the morning She knew where she lived CHORUS And in a wink they’re on the brink From drink to drink and at the bar With cash to blow From shot to shot it’s getting hot Advance the plot to see how far It’s gonna go All depends so ditch the friends And grab a cab Another chance for cheap romance Doesn’t count cause the room is spinning Nothing to lose tonight they both are winning And they fall in love as they fall in bed CHORUS

it think hes talking about a guy whos an outsider to the high life, so he fakes to be one of them with his charm and sneaks in to clubs to fit in
then about a gorgeous girl whos envied by all other female onlookers, who goes out with the mindset of getting a guy.
so they meet, go home together and "fall in love as they fall in bed"

And I don't necessarily see it as being the "high life," just talking about guys who are dead set on their image and do whatever it takes to project a specific image - and hes saying these guys are gonna lie and do whatever it takes to fit in and, well to get into someones pants. The girls are general in the sense that everyone follows the same fads and go out not to have a good time but to score, just like the guys. "she" only wears whats in style, looks like everyone else and is miserable if she goes home alone. Its people who are lonely but are comfortable in their roles at the same time - they don't care as long as they have control, and these "people" control by putting on a facade and screwing - and she falls in love for the night, and the next day its over and that's just the cycle. Reminds me of college and how a lot of young professional peers act when they go out - they just want that moment of acceptance and love from the opposite sex and even though its not real, they feel like they have control over it which comforts them.

I think if you listen peripherally you hear a story about two people who get drunk and sleep together, but when you really listen and dissect the phrases, you totally pick up on Erics views on the whole clubbing scene. He uses clever phrases like "another chance for CHEAP romance" and "if only in the morning she knew where she lived" and "doesn't count cuz the room is spinning," too clearly show how lame and hollow he thinks the whole lifestyle is. I think it's brilliant, and I totally love him for picking this for his single! It’s a brave choice in my opinion!
One of the major things I like about Eric Hutchinson is that he's not afraid to put his morals into his songs, morals that by "secular" opinions could be viewed as conservative or old fashioned. I like that his music has a point view and that that view is postive.

For just a night you are allowed to be anyone you want to be and do anything you want to.
I think this is relaxed and fun, I love it!

Not much depth or philosophizing in this song, but fun to listen to.

and maybe if people who wanted sex went after that rather than power we'd all be a lot better off.

It's pretty clear Hutchinson is portraying them as shallow, describing the guy as a conformist and snake ('Disregard the lies that he will tell and what he's probably like' and 'his charm will get him through the night'), and the girl equally conforming ('every girl out wants to be her but they look the same already'). They're both out for sex.
One thing people miss is he's pointing out the superficiality of it all; "cheap romance", the humor of 'love' existing amidst the drunken stupor ('doesn't count b/c the room is spinning'), and the idea of two complete strangers, both pretending to be people they're not, living up what amounts to be empty 'rock and roll' weekend facades.
I definitely find there is a level of depth to this catchy tune.

That it's focused on the general male and female, they aren't shallow, or prostitutes. It's about being 21+ ages being out at the bar. Now-a-days if you've ever been out hanging out at a club or closest bar with friends. Going out for some fun, sometimes you do meet someone and hit it off, and sometimes you don't. Some guy's go out with a "charm" to deal with the "hassle" of buying "heineken and new castle" (trying to hook up with a girl) and some girls can go out with "heavy make-up and cut t-shirt (or noodle strap)" while "every girl out wants to be her" but "they all look the same so why adjust?" to the guy.
It just so happens that this night (as well as could be any other night with anybody general) that these two people "falling in love" while "falling in bed" because it is an unknown "cheap romance". They also don't know if it will turn into something like a relationship "advance the plot" but it's a risk that the general takes but it's something that goes too fast to find out.

And Eric Hutchinson has a great, melodic voice! :)
