Classic Country Lyrics: "Rollin' With The Flow" von Charlie Rich

Dies war Charlie Richs wahrscheinlich ehrlichstes
Lied. Der Mann war ein Ausnahmetalent, der Blues,
Country und Rock'n'Roll gleichermassen liebte, doch
seine Produzenten wussten nicht viel mit seiner Mu-
sik anzufangen. Bei Sun Records begann er im Schat-
ten bekannterer Rock'n'Roller, dann wechselte er die
Firma und wurde auf seichten Country-Pop getrimmt.
Charlie litt darunter und schrieb deswegen diesen Song.

Once was a thought inside my head
'Fore I reached thirty I'd be dead
Somehow on and on I go       
I keep on rollin' with the flow

Folks said that I would change my mind
I'd settle down and do just fine
But I still love rock 'n roll       
I keep on rollin' with the flow

I got my angel raising kids
I'm raising hell just like I did
I got a lot of crazy friends
And they forgive me of my sins
  
Some might be calling me a bum
'Cause I'm still out here having fun
Jesus loves me yes I know      
I keep on rollin' with the flow

I got my angel raising kids
I'm raising hell just like I did
I got a lot of crazy friends
And they forgive me of my sins

Can't take it with you when you're gone
But I want enough to get there on
And I ain't never growing old       
I keep on rollin' with the flow

Keep on rollin' with the flow
