When I was a boy on my daddys knee
that's when he said these words to me
Said "listen to what I'm gonna tell you son

and you can help the world go round
Don't climb no mountain cause you might slip
and I know you'll drown if saving ships

Here's a guitar all shiny and red
and it makes a magic sound"


(chorus)
Roll, roll, let it roll
Let it flood down to your soul

Let it talk, let it swing
Play that music, let it ring


Now you can pick Buddy Holly
Chuck Berry too, and you can
do anything that you wanna do

Won't cause no harm
and never started no wars
and it sounds like father rain

They can call it county, they can call it rock
but I'll play this sucker till the day I drop
If you got any troubles just tune on in

cause it'll ease away your pain

(chorus)


(instrumental)


Some folks get them college degrees
and then they open up an office
and they charge big fees

I never was good for much at all
except for playin' kinda loud
I could feel it in my feet

hear it in my head
I even played that music
when I'm laying in bed

It never did get me anywhere at all
but it makes me kinda proud


(chorus)

Come on and roll, roll, let it roll

Let it flood down to your soul
Let it talk, let it swing
Play that music, let it ring
