[Verse 1]
Up in the mornin'
Out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay

[Chorus]
Like that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

[Verse 2]
Fuss with my woman, toil with my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray

[Chorus]
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Bridge]
Lord above, can't you hear me crying?
Tears all in my eyes (Oh, oh, oh)
Send down that cloud with a silver lining
Lift me up to paradise

[Verse 3]
Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
[Chorus]
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do
But roll around heaven
I just wanna roll, roll around heaven
Oh, let me roll around heaven all day
