When I was a boy on my daddys knee  that's when he said these words to me  Said "listen to what I'm gonna tell you son  and you can help the world go round  Don't climb no mountain cause you might slip  and I know you'll drown if saving ships   Here's a guitar all shiny and red  and it makes a magic sound"    (chorus)  Roll, roll, let it roll  Let it flood down to your soul  Let it talk, let it swing  Play that music, let it ring    Now you can pick Buddy Holly   Chuck Berry too, and you can   do anything that you wanna do  Won't cause no harm   and never started no wars  and it sounds like father rain  They can call it county, they can call it rock  but I'll play this sucker till the day I drop  If you got any troubles just tune on in   cause it'll ease away your pain    (chorus)    (instrumental)    Some folks get them college degrees  and then they open up an office  and they charge big fees  I never was good for much at all  except for playin' kinda loud  I could feel it in my feet   hear it in my head  I even played that music   when I'm laying in bed  It never did get me anywhere at all   but it makes me kinda proud    (chorus)    Come on and roll, roll, let it roll  Let it flood down to your soul  Let it talk, let it swing  Play that music, let it ring
