lyrics
I'm on a roll,
Gonna let shine, gonna drive my war machine,
Gonna let it shine, let it shine,
From every side of me,
From the Bitterroot down to New Orleans,
And everywhere in between,
Gonna let it fly, gonna let it fly,
Drive my war machine.
When I was just a little child sitting on my momma's knee,
She said let it shine, let it shine,
That's what she said to me,
Yes when I was just a little child sitting on my momma's knee,
She said let it fly, you gotta let it fly,
Drive your war machine.
People come and people go, but no body dares to steer,
So I'm going down to the road tonight,
And I'm gonna make a deal,
Yes people come and people go
But nobody grabs the wheel,
So I'm going down to the corner store,
And I'm gonna make a deal,
I'm on a roll.
And when finally the bottom falls out,
I'm gonna roll up my sleeves,
And when finally this whole ship goes south,
I'm gonna go make a deal.
I'm on a roll, gonna let it shine,
Gonna drive my war machine,
Gonna let it fly, gonna let it fly,
From every side of me,
I've been beat down by this world so long,
It's a wonder I can even see,
And every time I look inside a mirror,
All I find is a war machine.
I'm on a roll.
