Once was a thought inside my head Fore I'd reach thirty I'd be dead Now somehow on and on I go-o-o I keep on rolling with the flow Folks said that I would change my mind I'd straighten up and do just fine Ahh, but I still love rock and ro-o-oll I keep on rolling with the flow While guys my age are raising kids I'm raising hell just like I did I've got a lot of crazy friends And they forgive me of my sins Some might be calling me a bum But I'm still out there having fun And Jesus loves me, yes, I kno-o-ow So, I keep on rolling with the flow (Keep on rolling with the flow) I don't guide my age on raising kicks But I'm raising hell just like I did I've got a lot of crazy friends And they forgive me of my sins Can't take it with you when you're gone But I want enough to get there on And I ain't ever growing o-o-old So, I keep on rolling with the flow (Keep on rolling with the flow) I ain't ever growing o-o-old If I keep on rolling with the flow (Keep on rolling, keep on rolling) Keep on rolling with the flow (Keep on rolling, keep on rolling) Keep on rolling with the flow (Keep on rolling, keep on rolling)
