Rollin' with the flow Going where the lonely go Anywhere the lights are low Going where the lonely go Making up things to do Not running in all directions, trying to find you I'm just rollin' with the flow Going where the lonely go And I've got to keep goin' I can't lay down Sleep won't hardly come Where there's loneliness all around I've got to keep goin' Traveling down this lonesome road And I'll be rollin' with the flow Goin' where the lonely go I've got to keep goin' I can't lay down Sleep won't hardly come Where there's loneliness all around I've got to keep goin' Traveling down this lonesome road And I'll be rollin' with the flow Goin' where the lonely go
