Traveling Wilburys - End Of The Line (Official Music Video).




::from SongMeanings.net::Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze



Well it's all right, if you live the life you please


Well it's all right, doing the best you can


Well it's all right, as long as you lend a hand






You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring


Waiting for someone to tell you everything


Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring


Maybe a diamond ring






Well it's all right, even if they say you're wrong


Well it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong


Well it's all right, As long as you got somewhere to lay


Well it's all right, everyday is Judgement Day






Maybe somewhere down the road aways


You'll think of me, wonder where I am these days


Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays


Purple haze






Well it's all right, even when push comes to shove


Well it's all right, if you got someone to love


Well it's all right, everything'll work out fine


Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line






Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive


I'm glad to be here, happy to be alive


It don't matter if you're by my side


I'm satisfied






Well it's all right, even if you're old and grey


Well it's all right, you still got something to say


Well it's all right, remember to live and let live


Well it's all right, the best you can do is forgive






Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze


Well it's all right, if you live the life you please


Well it's all right, even if the sun don't shine


Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line

::WIKI "FACTS"::

*
It was the last track from Traveling Wilburys' first album, Volume 1, released in 1988.
*It was released as the second single from the album,
eventually peaking at number 63 in the U.S. on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.


*The sleeve cover of the 45 rpm single, photographed four days after the death of Roy Orbison in December 1988, features a guitar in a rocking chair. The same image appeared in the music video for the single, with the camera focusing on the guitar in the chair, slowly rocking back and forth, during Orbison's solo vocal parts. There is also a brief close-up of a framed photograph of Orbison.

*A supergroup consisting of George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan, accompanied by drummer Jim Keltner.
*The band recorded two albums between 1988–1990,
although Roy Orbison died before the second album was recorded.


*"Wilburys" was a slang term first used by Harrison during the recording of Cloud Nine with Jeff Lynne; Harrison, referring to recording errors created by some faulty equipment, jokingly remarked to Lynne, "We'll bury 'em in the mix".[1][2] Thereafter, they used the term for any small error in performance and the term was used again when the entire supergroup was together. Harrison suggested "The Trembling Wilburys" as the group's name; instead, Lynne suggested "Traveling", with which the group agreed.

*they decided to create a full album together. Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1, written by all the members, was recorded over a ten-day period in May 1988, and released on October 18. The "Wilburys" joke was extended further, with the band members credited under various pseudonyms, all half-brothers – sons of a fictional Charles Truscott Wilbury, Sr.

*The album was nominated for several awards and won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group in 1989.

*Roy Orbison's death on December 6, 1988, brought the end of the original lineup. In tribute to Orbison, during the music video for "End of the Line", when Orbison sings, his photo is shown followed by a shot of his guitar rocking in a rocking chair.
*The final studio album by the Wilburys, intentionally "misnumbered" Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3, was released on October 30, 1990, but met with less success than the previous one. In the booklet contained in the 2007 box set, the album name is credited to "George being George".

::Extra Goodies::::from Songfacts.com::
*
The drummer, seen in the video, is Jim Keltner, a well known 70's and 80's drummer who worked with George, John and Ringo (and many many others). He's listed as a Wilbury "cousin".

Until next time...
Have a Grand and Groovy Day!!
