When I was a boy on my daddys knee
Thats 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
Dont climb no mountain cause you might slip
And I know you'll drown if saving ships
Heres a guitar all shiny and red
And it makes a magic sound

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 supper till the day I drop
If you got any troubles just tune on in
Cause it'll ease away your pain

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

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

Come on and roll, roll, let it roll
Let it flood down to your soul
Let it talk, let it swing
