Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Been kickin' sawdust in these clothes
For a blue moon and a red nose
The boys'll put 'em up, and tear 'em down
We'll wash away the dirt
Just a glass a day ain't gonna hurt
Pretty soon, we'll move on out of town
[Verse 2]
We pass them by across the plains
We don't even try to catch their names
It's suppertime, and their kids are home from school
They draw the shades on their shops
While we go a-checkin' through the props
And puttin' on the paint to play the fool
[Verse 3]
Then we're rollin' on
Rollin' on
Feelin' better than we did last night
Rollin' on
Rollin' on
It's hard sometimes
Pretty much, it's alright
[Verse 4]
I'll go soft-shoe when it rains
I'll go shuffle through the aches and pains
Mr. Young-at-Heart
That's what I try to be
They all laugh and cry
They get to feeling better and that is why
If it was good for you
Truly, it was good for me
[Verse 5]
Then we're rollin' on
Rollin' on
Feelin' better than we did last night
Rollin' on
Rollin' on
It's hard sometimes
Pretty much, it's alright
