Rollin'
Rare of Breed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rollin' on my big wheel
Rollin' on my big wheel
(I don't wanna) I don't wanna grow up
I just wanna have some fun

()

I can remember growin' up on three wheels
neighborhood kids out
so chill as I peel out of my moms house
all day played hard until the sundown
hands up right now
and I'm seeing blue skies green grass and a whole lot of real estate
you got a quarter little Susie's got the lemonade
stand, time to bounce rubberbands
ocean of living water write the message in the sand
(real talk) real talk I want my life to be about that
burn rubber turnin' records on the soundtrack
It's time to take it back to that imagination
all smiles having fun was the occupation
(r-r-rollin) rollin on my big wheel
I don't need a hill, just give me all the thrill
sittin' sideways, (sideways) Paul Wall
no hands, (no hands) empty handle bars
tricked out, custom made just the way you like
SFD Industries hit em' up tonight
all across the world, Lexington to Amsterdam,
Tokyo to Africa, Canada and back to France
Yeah it's silly hear me really how I knew it
I thank the Lord Almighty that I have the breath to do it
(every) every bit of glory goes above I give him credit
I will peddle in faith even if I don't know where I'm headed
We are, we are, the new generation of kids
saved by grace it's the reason that I live
truth is this will make you feel alive
whether your 7 years old or you're pushin' 95

(Chrous)

(I don't wanna) I dont' wanna grow up
(I don't wanna) I don't wanna grow up
(I don't wanna) I don't wanna grow up
I just wanna have some fun

(Rollin') Rollin' on my big wheel
(Rollin') Rollin' on my big wheel




(Rollin') Rollin' on my big wheel
I just wanna have some fun x 2
