Rollin' On

ROLLIN' ON

Been kickin' sawdust 
In these clothes 
For a blue moon 
And a red nose 
The boys will put 'em up 
And tear 'em down 
We'll wash away 
The dirt 
Just a glass a day 
Ain't gonna hurt 
Pretty soon we'll move on 
Out of town 

We pass them by 
Across the plains 
We don't even try 
To catch the names 
It's supper-time and their kids 
Are home from school 
They draw the shades 
On their shops 
While we go a'checking 
Through the props 
And putting on the paint 
To play the fool 

Then we're rollin' on 
Rollin' on 
Feeling, better 
Than we did last night 
Rollin' on rollin' on 
It's hard some times 
Pretty much it's alright 

I'll go soft shoe 
When it rains 
I'll go shuffle through 
The aches and pains 
Mr. young at heart 
That's what I try to be 
They all laugh 
And cry 
They get to feeling better 
And that is why 
If it was good for you 
Truly it was good for me 

Then we're rollin' on 
Rollin' on 
Feeling better 
Than we did last night 
Rollin' on rollin' on 
It's hard sometimes 
Pretty much it's alright
