Roll With The Flow

D
She was a lackluster lover who thought of another
D                                                                    A
When I offered my hand to help her in out of the rain
A
And she became quite possessive when I gave her the message
                                                                    D
That I had to leave on the outbound ten o'clock train
D
She said I thought you were stable and that I might be able
                                        D7                        G
To talk you into sticking around for a couple of years
          G                   A              D        G
I said I Roll With The Flow, wherever it goes
           D       A       D
And it's rollin' out of here.

There was this didactic minister who told me of sinister
Things which would happen if I were to do something wrong
He spoke at length about brimstone and lies that were based on
Belief that the bad and the good were equally strong
That's why I think I undid him when I started to kid him
And he said if you give me some time I'll make it quite clear
I said I Roll With The Flow, wherever it goes
And it's rollin' out of here.

Those are two fine examples of the way that I handled
The pressure that tried to draw me away from the light
And in the final analysis it's foolish if you resist
The changes that come into your everyday life
There might be some trepidation but don't let hesitation
Deprive you of hope and try to replace it with fear
Just Roll With The Flow wherever it goes, even if it rolls out of here

Just Roll With The Flow wherever it goes, even if it rolls out of here
Just Roll With The Flow wherever it goes, even if it rolls out of here
