Keep on Rollin'
Bo Bice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't know how the bills will get paid
Hard to make it by on minimum wage.
Nobody I know got it made in the shade
Round and round and round we go

You better get up, lord you better get up, people don't you know
You better wake up, child, you better wake up get your feet back on the floor
If you feel your spirits sinking, let your worries go
You got to keep on rollin', down that road

Hearts get broke and love gets lost
Nobody worry about what its gonna cost
Who's gonna pay when the dice gets tossed
So it's round and round and round we go

You better to get up, better get up, people don't you know
You better to wake, child, you better wake up get your feet back on the floor
If you feel your spirits sinking, you let your worries go
You got to keep on rollin', down that road,
Better keep on rollin', down that road

It's round and round and round we go
You better to get up, lord you better get up, people don't you know
You go to wake up, child, you better wake and get your feet back on the floor
If you feel your spirits sinking, you let your worries go
You got to keep on rollin', down that road




You got to keep on rollin', down that road
You got to keep on rollin', down that road
