Charlie Rich – Rollin’ With The Flow Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Once was a thought inside my head
‘Fore I’d reach thirty I’d be dead
Now somehow on and on I go
I keep on rollin’ with the flow
[Verse 2]
Folks said that I would change my mind
I’d straighten up and do just fine
Ah, but I still love rock and roll
I keep on rollin’ with the flow
[Chorus]
While guys my age are raising kids
I’m raisin’ hell just like I did
I’ve got a lot of crazy friends
And they forgive me of my sins
[Verse 3]
Some might be callin’ me a bum
But I’m still out there havin’ fun
And Jesus loves me, yes, I know
So, I keep on rollin’ with the flow
(Keep on rollin’ with the flow)
[Chorus]
While guys my age are raising kids
But I’m raisin’ hell just like I did
I’ve got a lot of crazy friends
And they forgive me of my sins
[Verse 4]
Can’t take it with you when you’re gone
But I want enough to get there on
And I ain’t ever growin’ old
So, I keep on rollin’ with the flow
(Keep on rollin’ with the flow)
I ain’t ever growin’ old
If I keep on rollin’ with the flow
(Keep on rollin’, keep on rollin’)
[Outro]
Keep on rollin’ with the flow
(Keep on rollin’, keep on rollin’)
Keep on rollin’ with the flow
(Keep on rollin’, keep on rollin’)
GENIUS
