Then she became quite possessive
When I gave her the message
That I had to leave
On the outbound ten o’clock train
She said, “I thought you were stable
And that I might be able
To talk you into stickin’ around
A couple of years”
I said I roll with the flow
Wherever it goes
Even if it rolls out of here
There was this didactic minister
Who told me of sinister things
Which would happen if I were
To do something wrong
He spoke at length about brimstone
And lives that were based on belief
That the bad and the good
Were equally strong
That’s why I think I undid him
When I started to kid him
’Cause he said, “Look, if you’ll give me some time
I’ll make it quite clear”
I said I roll with the flow, pal
Wherever it goes, pal
And it’s rollin’ me out of here
[break]
Now, those are two fine examples
Of the way that I handled the pressure
That tried to draw me away from the light
And in the final analysis
It’s foolish if you resist
The changes that come into
Your everyday life
There might be some trepidation
But don’t let hesitation
Deprive you of hope
And try to replace it with fear
You just roll with the flow
Wherever it goes
Even if it rolls out of here
We just roll with the flow
Wherever it goes
Even if it rolls out of here
You just roll with the flow
Wherever it goes
Even if it rolls out of here
You just roll with the flow
Wherever it goes
Even if it rolls out of here
Mike: Sing it.
You just roll with the flow
Wherever it goes
Even if it rolls out of here
Mike: Keep going.
You just roll with the flow
Wherever it goes
Even if it rolls out of here
Mike: One more.
You just roll with the flow
Wherever it goes
And it’s rollin’ me out of here
Mike: Well, we gotta go.
