On A Roll

(album: Strangers No More - 2023)

Don't stop me once I started
When I wax poetic on the brokenhearted
The stories we tell are nothing if not true

There's no hard line losers and winners
There's no crack in the sky when the lightning splinters
There's a sadness that only comes on a beautiful day

Don't look now, I can't go on without you
Hold the line, there's nothing more to say

I'm on a roll pretty baby and I don't know how to stop once I'm going
I'm a river in an ocean with the rain coming down all at once
I'm on a roll pretty baby and I'm riding on the wind where it's blowing
Take my hand we'll go where the firelight glows

Well we're driving through another ghost town
With the radio up and the windows rolled down
And the silver sunlight is streaming through your hair
Don't it read just like a story?
The kaleidoscope sky and fields of glory
Don't it feel the world could up and fall away?

I'm on a roll pretty baby and I don't know how to stop once I'm going
I'm a river in an ocean with the rain coming down all at once
I'm on a roll pretty baby and I'm riding on the wind where it's blowing
Take my hand we'll go where the firelight glows

Don't get lost in the algorithm
It may be pretty, baby, but it's a prison
And the critics are still keeping score
But I still don't know what we're fighting for

I'm on a roll pretty baby and I don't know how to stop once I'm going
I'm a river in an ocean with the rain coming down all at once
I'm on a roll pretty baby and I'm riding on the wind where it's blowing
Take my hand we'll go where the firelight glows

Don't stop me once I've started
When I wax poetic on the brokenhearted
The stories we tell are nothing if not true
