Rollin' With The Flow

Mark Chesnutt · Other Songs - Mark Chesnutt

Once was a thought inside my head

Before I'd reach thirty I'd be dead

Somehow, all alone I'd go

I keep on rollin' with the flow.



Folks said that I would change my mind

I'd straighten up and do just fine

Oh, but I still love rock and roll

So, I keep on rollin' with the flow.



While guys my age are raising kids

I'm raisin' hell just like I did

I've got a lot of crazy friends

They forgive me of my sins.



Some might be callin' me a bum

But, I'm still out here havin' fun

And Jesus loves me, yes, I know

So, I keep on rollin' with the flow.



While guys my age are raising kids

I'm raisin' hell just like I did

I've got a lot of crazy friends

They forgive me of my sins.



You 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

If, I keep on rollin' with the flow.



No, I ain't ever growin' old

If I keep on rollin' with the flow

Keep on rollin' with the flow...
