Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was a boy on my daddy's knee
That's when he said these words to me
He said, "Listen to what I'm gonna tell you, son"
"And you can help the world go round"
[Verse 2]
Don't climb no mountain, 'cause you might slip
And I know you'll drown if you're savin' ships
Here's a guitar, all shiny and red
And it makes a magic sound
[Verse 3]
Roll, roll, let it roll
Let it flood down to your soul
Let it talk, let it swing
Play that music, let it ring
[Verse 4]
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 fallin' rain
[Verse 5]
They can call it country, they can call it rock
But I'll play this sucker till the day I drop
If you got any troubles, just tune on in
'Cause it'll ease away your pain
[Verse 6]
Roll, roll, let it roll
Let it flood down to your soul
Let it talk, let it swing
Play that music, let it ring
[Verse 7]
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
'Cept playin' kinda loud
[Verse 8]
I could feel it in my feet, hear it in my head
I even played that music when I'm layin' in bed
It never did get me anywhere at all
But it makes me kinda proud
[Verse 9]
Roll, roll, let it roll
Let it flood down to your soul
Let it talk, let it swing
Play that music, let it ring
[Verse 10]
Come on and roll, roll, let it roll
Let it flood down to your soul
Let it talk, let it swing
Play that music, let it ring
